Stimulus could supply illegals with 300,000 jobsPositions for Americans may go to aliens if current Senate bill passes
The Senate's stimulus bill could supply 300,000 construction jobs to illegal aliens, effectively sending those taxpayer funds to Mexico and other countries, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.
The bill currently under consideration, known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, provides $104 billion in government funding for new construction projects including highways, schools and restoration of public housing – to generate jobs for some of the 11.1 million unemployed Americans.
However, unlike the version introduced by Rep. Jack Kingston, R-GA, and approved by the House, HR 1, the Senate bill would not prohibit several hundred thousand illegal aliens from acquiring those jobs and sending the money back to their home countries.
The House of Representatives version strictly prohibits contractors from hiring employees without first checking the E-Verify system, which allows employers to verify whether potential employees are authorized to work in the U.S. The program compares employee information with more than 444 million records in the Social Security Administration database and more than 60 million records in the Department of Homeland Security immigration database.
