Its not just the names of "illegal immigrants" that are submitted under E-verify; its everyone who applies for a job. So, yes, if those are the choices, I believe a few "illegal immigrants" harvesting produce is preferable to giving the federal government information about where EVERY worker in the United States wants to be employed. Besides, IMO if we need a few illegal immigrants to harvest our produce, it is better to do that than let it rot in the fields. I do not know about you but I believe we should not have an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-deciding central government.
I get it. When our president makes a mistake and changes his mind, he's "evolving", when RS or MR changes his mind, they are flip-floppers. Well, the way you dems are running this country right now, we won't have to worry about it for too much longer. The way you idiots are [not] protecting our southern border, pretty soon when you make a phone call, the operator will say "press 1 for Spanish". Adios muchachos!
NO...it's not a good decision. E-verify should be used for ALL hiring actions, in all industries. That would keep illegals from getting jobs here. Our governor is a hypocrite. He orders a voter purge for the accidental signing up of non-citizens to vote (a very small % of our voter rolls - more than likely the error of those conducting the voter registration signup that particular day), but OKs the continued hiring of illegals in the agriculture industry by backing off the use of e-verify in that industry. Get real people...this man is a crook.
It all sounded good when Scott was on the campaign trail sipping tea with his voters...too bad that reality doesn't drink tea.
I believe RS is still against illegal immigration as he was during his campaign, but he has seen what e-verify has done to Alabama & Georgia farmers. It is hurting the growers because this administration in Washington won’t do anything to stop the illegals. In order for e-verify to work, it must be implemented in EVERY state, not just a select few, because that just hurts those who follow the law. The migrant workers will just stay out of e-verify states unless the law is mandatory nationwide. The chances of that happening with Obama in office are not very good, seeing what he and AG Holder are doing to Gov. Brewer in AZ. So rather than punish FL farmers to satisfy a few people, he chooses to put the ball in Obamas court and let things remain as they are and as they have been until we get some kind of leadership in DC that will have the kahonies to make illegal immigration laws that cover EVERY state, making it fair to ALL farmers. Remember, Obama said that immigration is a federal thing and states have no right to enact laws to curb it.
hahahahahahahahahahahA so true.
THATS WHAT I BEEN SAYING FOR THE LONGEST. GLAD SOMEONES HAS BRAINS. OH! YEAH, I AM WHITE. IN MY 60'S and I HAVE SEEN the LAZY ONES TURN DOWN FARM WORK FOR ALL OF MY LIFE. MY FAMILY ON BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN FARMERS.
NOT ALL of the farmers who use this workers are BIG. Look at our local farmer. CORN, tomatoes, and all kinds of veg farmers localy NEED THESE PICKERS. DO you want to use your taxes to keep these people from losing their farms. AND THINK HOW MUCH YOUR GRO BILL GOES UPPP.............
shows what you and the others know. MOST legal blacks and some whites WHOULD NEVER SHOW THIER FACE ON THE FARMS to WORK. They would rather rob you, sell drugs or sell their bodies. The hardest outside worker DO seem to be hispanic people. I am not saying that others don't but they are hard workers.
So we can't trust an illegal to work in an office but it is ok to allow them access to our food supply?!? What's to stop some extremist who isn't being checked out before being hired from injecting hundreds of oranges or other foods with poison while he picking them?
Actually, we can be right on both. Both options say he is a liar-check. One says he is a racist- check. Hates immigrants- check but he loves money more so he'll tolerate them for the money. Flip-flopper- check. Realized he was wrong- oops, I'll give ya that one. That man will never admit to being wrong about anything. he would rather spend every last penny this state has on his stupid court cases than to admit his errors.
So you are OK with illegal immigrants working here as long as the price of tomatos don't go up 10 cents?
If you don't want employers using e-verify then don't ever complain about illegal aliens.
You will find it difficult getting through to that one. Everything he knows he learned over his daddy's knee.
As a produce farmer in Florida I had my payroll department check on average hourly rates on pickets and found they averaged between 18 and 24 dollars an hour no one is never paid less than Florida mim wage in that crew of 160 pickets one non Hispanic works so where is that flood of floridians to work
