Even Worse: Amnesty Bill Allows Illegal Aliens To Work By Specifically *Forbidding* Employers From Checking Status Before Hiring

That's right, yo. The "tough, strong" enforcement provisions of the amnesty bill forbid an employer to even check if a job applicant is illegal (whoops, there goes any effectiveness of that tough, strong new employee ID card).

Instead, an employer is required to hire "blind" -- assuming an employee is legal -- and then, only weeks or more likely months (years?) after the strong, tough federal agency has completed its background check, fire the employee if found to be illegal (or, of course, retain him if legal).

Which means that new illegal immigrants have a strong new incentive to come here illegally -- they can work for months at a time at a job without fear of having their status discovered. And when they're fired -- they can just move on to the next employer, who's also forbidden from conducting a legal-employment check on them before hiring.

...would intentionally make our country's problems worse ...

Intentionally, no less! He's further warning of (threatening?) Paris-style car-burnin' riots if his bill isn't passed.

And amidst all the claims that the GOP desperately needs to pass this bill to have any hope of wooing Hispanic voters, Fred! surges five points amont Hispanic Republicans while strongly opposing the bill, while John "General Jack T. Ripper" McCain loses an equivalent amount.
