Social Security Admin. Report: Bush Administration Guilty of Hiring Illegal Aliens





If President Bush is serious about getting tough on U.S. employers who hire illegal aliens, he can start with his own administration, which employs thousands of unauthorized workers, says the top Republican on the House immigration subcommittee.





A 2006 audit showed federal, state and local governments are among the biggest employers of the half-million persons in the U.S. illegally using "non-work" Social Security numbers — numbers issued legally, but with specific instructions that the holders are not authorized to work in the U.S.





"Let's clean up our own house, let's especially clean up the federal employment of all those working for the federal government," said Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee.





The Social Security Administration used to, but no longer does, issue non-work numbers to legal aliens who were not authorized to work but needed a number to obtain a federal or state benefit or service. Still, hundreds of thousands of those immigrants used the numbers to get a job.





According to the 2006 audit by the Social Security inspector general, 17 of the 100 worst employers using employees with non-work numbers were government agencies: seven federal agencies, seven state agencies and three local governments. That means the government knows who those employees are, but usually does not go after them.





Earlier this month, Homeland Security and Commerce departments announced a new crackdown on illegal entry that includes stricter enforcement against employers. The departments said they will encourage businesses to use E-Verify to check employees' Social Security numbers, and said the federal government will write new rules requiring all private contractors and vendors that do business with it to use E-Verify.





Under current law, neither business nor federal agencies are required to use E-Verify, formerly known as the Basic Pilot Program.





Mr. King said the administration shouldn't wait for new rules to begin checking federal employees against the non-work list.

Funny .. every time I've commented that we should count how many illegals work for Bush, I'm given a violation and my answer removed.





Guess I was right after all.





Thanks for the great information! Enjoy your star!
Reply:What a "shock." This idiot pleases only the tiny group of morons uninformed enough to keep supporting himself, and no one else.





He's also pushing a one year wait for public health insurance for those who can no longer afford private insurance. He's such an embarrassment to America - as are those who still blindly support him.
Reply:Like it or not, this country would have a very difficult time without the use of undocumented workers. Of course its a popular conservative slogan to get tough on immigration, but, behind the scenes many of there supporters in industry know the reality is they would end up losing if they lost this flow of under paid workers. All the tough talk is simply to stroke the fire of their conservative base and their fear of the "other"
Reply:Hmph. This man is yet another CFR member. The CFR wants a one-world government, so what better way to undermine American sovereignty than by undermining the meaning of citizenship?
Reply:I thought he was seeking amnesty for illegals. Honestly, you're taking today's issues and pitting them against 2 years' ago policies.
Reply:IF YOU REMEMBER PRESIDENT BUSH IS THE ONE WHO IS PUSHING FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM AND LEGALIZATION. DID YOU FORGET THAT?
