The Raw Story | Paper 'busts' Democrats at immigration rally pointing to 'empty boxes'

The Raw Story | Paper 'busts' Democrats at immigration rally pointing to 'empty boxes': "'As the Members repeatedly referred to the letters and gestured toward the boxes allegedly containing them as evidence of the support for the immigration bill that is struggling in the Senate, a crack Roll Call photographer on hand at the event began to grow suspicious,' Heil continues. 'He could see light shining through the handles of the boxes, indicating that they weren’t full.'

The paper reveals, 'Sure enough, a quick check revealed that the boxes were, indeed, completely empty.'"

Wow, another congressional con job? I love it.

The Raw Story | Fox analyst: 'Space aliens kidnapped president' and 'left this tool'

The Raw Story | Fox analyst: 'Space aliens kidnapped president' and 'left this tool': "The discussion led to an unlikely reversal of political positions, with conservative Fox political analyst Tammy Bruce describing the situation as 'another glaring example of the growing incompetency of the Bush administration and his foreign policy,' while Democratic strategist Bob Beckel concluded that 'I support Bush on this ... and it's a strange day when I do that.'"

Surprisingly, it is a right-winger calling Bush a tool, and a lefty supporting Bush. But then again, immigration reform has always been unpopular with the right.

No jobs for US citizens without Homeland Security approval | Press Esc

No jobs for US citizens without Homeland Security approval | Press Esc:

"US citizens who apply for a job will need prior approval from Department of Homeland Security under the terms immigration bill passed by the Senate this week.

American Civil Liberties Union pointed out that the DHS's Employment Eligibility Verification System (EEVS) is error plagued and if the department makes a mistake in determining work eligibility, there will be virtually no way to challenge the error or recover lost wages due to the bill’s prohibitions on judicial review.

Even current employees will need to obtain eligibility approval from the DHS Within 60 days of the Immigration Reform Act of 2006 becoming law."


Native born Americans will have to seek permission from the Department of Homeland Security, in order to gain or keep a job. First, how does this work its way into an "immigration" bill? Second, what kind of Fascist dreamed this little bit of non-sense up? It is defiantly time to start working under-the-table. We should not have to ask the government if we may work.
