Time Running Out on E-Verify Bill at Florida Legislature
Time is running out on an E-Verify immigration bill at the Florida Legislature.
With just a week to clear three assigned subcommittees -- a virtual impossibility -- House Bill 1315 appears all but dead.
The measure, sponsored by Rep. Gayle Harrell, R-Port St. Lucie, would require employers to run the names of all new hires through the free federal E-Verify system to determine legal status.
A watered down E-Verify passed the state Senate late last session but never got a hearing in the House. The legislation has been vigorously opposed by a coalition of business groups, agricultural interests and liberal activists.
Barring a waiver from House leadership, which appears unlikely, the only alternate path for HB 1315's survival would be as an attachment to a bill that is moving. But that is permissible only if the host bill is on a related subject, and there are none in the hopper.
Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina have all enacted E-Verify laws.
Gov. Rick Scott, by executive order, last year directed that state agencies under his authority use E-Verify to screen new employees.

The Liberals, Unions, farmers, radical groups, special interest and even the major churches still think America should absorb every foreign visitor or every illegal migrant, even though these entities would pay nothing towards their monetary support? Under their foolish direction this land could be overrun with even more abject poverty than what we have now. Then again, ObamaCare will treat anybody with the compliments of US taxpayers. We will all be forced by law to pay our fair-share of taxes into his massive healthcare pool in future years. Not only have to accept paying for our own low income, homeless people, but the absconders from other lands? We will become the United Nations of PPO's, HMO’s that will bankrupt this nation? We are already sliding into a giant mire, but we can at least take release some of the intense pressure by the example of Mitt Romney statement; that we can still exercise a citizen’s right in demanding the 'Legal Workforce Act' or Mandatory E-Verify (H.R. 2885).
This is true unadulterated immigration enforcement, by driving illegal aliens into self-deportation. The US Government has nothing to do, but audit business or listen to informants or whistle-blowers that have a front row seat, well aware of companies not complying with E-Verify? Once a few business owners see the inside of a prison cell or get fined millions of dollars the word will emanate around the country. These tough sanctions for violating the law will be determined to be an absolute deterrent if they hire illegal labor. The second urgent bill is the “Citizenship Birthright Amendment bill (H.R.140), which will derail the persistence of any illegal alien, of any national gaining immediate citizen for their baby and thereby unable to collect welfare benefits, that only citizens should have the approval.
Outside of the radical manipulation of the Liberal press, read THE TRUE FACTUAL daily news columns at “American Patrol” Site.
Only the American people have the unique power of the vote, to descend on any given political representative and insist they co-sponsor these laws? If you think for one minute that either party without your pressing by voters that politicians are going to support either of these laws without you harassing them; nothing will happen, ever? One thing’s for sure that paying out over $113 billion dollars a year in pandering to 22 million plus illegal aliens is not going away and the cold facts is the dollar amount is not going to fade? The public assistance programs are going to accelerate under this administrations Socialist dependency? It’s just going to grow as well as the overpopulation of this nation. Are we to face shortages of everything in our future? Learn the absolute truths at NumbersUSA. The E-Verify program must be succeeding as 4 Democrats have now co-sponsored this bill and you too should contact your federal or local lawmaker’s at 202-224-3121 and demand it.
REMEMBER NON-CITIZENS DO VOTE IN ALL ELECTIONS AND WILL AGAIN IN 2012, WHILE DEMOCRATS LOOK THE OTHER WAY.
The TEA PARTY does not segregate any race or nationality as the Liberal media would like you to believe, it doesn’t alienate any person who is here—LEGALLY. The WE THE PEOPLE TEA PARTY of tens of millions of members just requests that the 1986 Immigration law (IRCA) enforced and not altered to pander to illegal migrants and immigrants.

In the past 4 years of immigration bills filed in the House, the 2012 e-verify bill, identical to the 2011 e-verify bill, required the bill to go to 3 subcommittee meetings in less than 3 weeks which is virtually impossible.
Not one other bill in 4 years even had one subcommittee assignment
