N Carolina Passes Four Historic Immigration Laws
One, NC Licenses will now require a valid social security number thus blocking illegal aliens from getting licenses in NC if the law is properly applied.

Two, starting Jan 1, 2007 all new hires in state government must be screened for legal presence or citizenship. The school systems have till March of 2007 to implement this change.

Three, the technical corrections bill (S 1523, page 18.) authorizes our local and state police to begin enforcing immigration laws!

Four, S 1896 places new laws in place regarding human trafficking!

1. The only one that's decent is S1986, the coyote one
The rest are typical neo-con Republican bullshit.

2. Why are you posting Gilchrist's crap here?
LAKE FOREST, CA —Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, a national non-partisan political action committee supporting candidates who will enforce America’s immigration laws, announced its endorsement of “Minuteman Founder” Jim Gilchrist, Independent Congressional Candidate for the upcoming California District 48 special election on October 4th.

“Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is endorsing Jim Gilchrist because of his selfless dedication and successful activism addressing our national crisis of border security and illegal immigration,” states William Gheen, president of ALIPAC. “In Jim’s California district, as is true nationwide, all the surveys show voters are ready to hold Washington accountable for the government’s failure to act to control illegal immigration—on our borders and in our communities. We need to send Congress a message and Jim Gilchrist IS the message.”

NEW REPORT BLASTS AMERICANS FOR LEGAL IMMIGRATION – PAC
(Tuesday, 21 June 2005) -
Chicago - According to a report just released by the Center for New Community, the Raleigh, North Carolina political
action community Americans for Legal Immigration (ALI – PAC) has deep ties to both border vigilantes and anti-Latino
bigots.
“ALI-PAC has made something of a splash in the North Carolina media in recent weeks,” said Center executive director
Rev. David Ostendorf, “but its leaders have yet to be called to account for their connections to organized anti-immigrant
bigots.”
The report, Americans for Legal Immigration: Xenophobia, Nativism and Anti-Immigrant Hysteria, was authored by
Center for New Community staff. It documents that along with its mean-spirited attacks on legislation designed to
strengthen state institutions and increase their ability to assimilate newcomers, ALI-PAC has amply demonstrated its
political leanings in the following:
- ALI-PAC leaders participated prominently in a recent Las Vegas meeting of anti-immigrant activists that featured
James Gilchrist and Chris Simcox of the vigilante Minutemen Project, anti-Latino conspiracy theorist Barbara Coe of the
California Coalition for Immigration Reform, and Rick Oltman of FAIR who is reportedly a member of the white
supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens.
- William Gheen, ALI-PAC’s president, has personally endorsed the so-called reconquista conspiracy theory which holds
that Mexico and Mexicans have territorial designs on the American Southwest. In a recent post to the organization’s
website, Gheen claimed: “The Aztlan separatist movement is real. Reconquista is real. We are in danger of losing part of
America thanks to negligent and complicit press and politicians.”
- While claiming mass support for its work and making a media splash—largely with its convoluted website—ALI-PAC,
according to the most recently available FEC filings, raised less than $2000 last year (including an $800 loan from
Gheen) and has fewer than 900 registered users on its website, most of them from outside of North Carolina

3. Isn't this a Right Wing Organization? Where are the Big Penalties against
the NC Real Estate Industry who was happy to use "over the border labor" to build the "Mansions?" The Mansions in new Developments named "THE BARONY..THE LEGACY?"

Plus all the new GATED NC Communities for the RICH ONLY that have sprouted up with "guards & passes" and one needs to have a good Real Estate Agent who has "vetted" you to know you can afford to go past "THE GATE!"

Maybe this legislation is just TOO GOOD that they passed it in the "dead of night" before they got out of town for MONTHS.... But, I'm not too hopeful about this, here.. :shrug;

15. Employers
Good point about the Real Estate Industry. They've been the #1 "growth" industry in regards to hiring illegal immigrants. Contractors should be #1 on the hit-list of employers to prosecute.

"Three, the technical corrections bill (S 1523, page 18.) authorizes 'our' local and state police to begin enforcing immigration laws!"

You're in NY, NY! Something is rotten here!
A little something from your guy's website about the SPLC, guess they didn't like their write up, huh? Truth hurts!!

snip>
Has anyone seen this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the biggest pack of lies and propaganda I have ever seen! I seriously doubt anyone from the minutemen would give the splc the time of day much less say all of this crap. This is liable and slander and there should be a class action law suit brought against the splc. They are lower than pond scum!!!!!!!!!!! SPLC traitors of America!

10. Prosecute Employers
Edited on Fri Jul-28-06 07:47 PM by unlawflcombatnt
I completely agree with you on that. H.R. 98 is what we really need.

Pass H.R. 98 mandates that employers verify Social Security numbers using a new, tamper-proof Social Security card with an electronic identification strip on it. (Which has not passed into law, but is still under consideration.) In general, it mandates that employers verify Social Security numbers using a new, tamper-proof Social Security card with an electronic identification strip on it. Verification is mandatory before an employee is hired. Failure to verify violates the law and will be prosecuted via civil or criminal statute.


Below is a copy of the Thomas CRS summary of H.R. 98.

"H.R.98

Title: To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to enforce restrictions on employment in the United States of unauthorized aliens through the use of improved Social Security cards and an Employment Eligibility Database, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Rep Dreier, David (introduced 1/4/2005) Cosponsors (57)

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:HR00098:@@@D&summ2=m&

Latest Major Action: 5/12/2005 House committee/subcommittee actions. Status: Subcommittee Hearings Held.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY AS OF:
1/4/2005--Introduced.

Illegal Immigration Enforcement and Social Security Protection Act of 2005 - Amends title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) of the Social Security Act to require inclusion of encrypted machine-readable electronic identification strips on Social Security cards.

Requires the Commissioner of Social Security to: (1) develop the strip in a manner that enables employers to access the Employment Eligibility Database (EED) established by this Act; and (2) transmit to the Secretary of Homeland Security necessary information from an individual's application for a Social Security card or number (as determined by the Secretary) for inclusion in the EED.

Directs the Secretary to establish and maintain the EED. Requires the EED to include data on the citizenship status and work and residency eligibility of noncitizens authorized to work in the United States.

Restricts access to EED information.

Prohibits individuals from commencing employment with a U.S. employer absent a Social Security card that meets the requirements of this Act and presentation of such card to the employer.

Prohibits employers from hiring individuals absent verification of identity and work authorization.

Authorizes the Secretary to: (1) assess penalties against employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers or fail to comply with verification procedures; and (2) bring civil actions against those who fail to pay assessments or otherwise violate this Act. Establishes criminal penalties for such violations.

Mandates integration of Border Patrol and Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint databases.

States that nothing in this Act shall be construed to establish a national identification card.

14. They're not putting that SSN ON the licenses, are they?
Hawai'i did that until a couple of years ago, when they finally realized that made the license holders really juicy targets for ID theft.
