Menendez doesn’t believe in checking on illegals!

From the Corner on the National Review:

Making an Offer We Can’t Refuse [Mark Krikorian]



New Jersey’s junior Democratic
wiseguy, Sen. Bob Menendez, has put a hold on legislation to re-authorize the E-Verify program, which enables employers to determine whether new hires are legal. He’s holding this successful enforcement effort hostage to increased guestworker visas. Here’s what a reader sent me this week about the value of the E-Verify program to his firm:

I work for a temporary staffing firm that uses E-verify on every candidate that comes through the door. It has helped out tremendously in screening out people who are not legal to work in the US. It is easy to use and instant in its results. Whenever we do have someone come through that E-Verify says needs to go to DHS or SSA those people 9 out of 10 times do not return because they know that they have been caught. We put up signs that state that we use E-Verify on every candidate and that has had a dramatic effect on our fail rate. When the illegal folks see it they just turn around and walk out the door. It has been a very good program for us.




I recently sent a correspondence to Senator Menendez office regarding energy policy. I received both email and snail mail correspondence telling me that while he respected my position he already had his own and would not be entertaining any more ideas that weren’t his. I would bet that more than 70 percent of New Jersey voters would have agreed with me in regard to the energy issue and gas prices. And I GUARANTEE you that more that 80 percent of legal New Jersey voters would disagree with Senator Menendez opposition to the simple checking of illegals when they apply for jobs.
