more on immigration, idiot

"The proposal would ease the measure's strict requirements for employers to verify that all their workers are legal, instead allowing businesses to check only the identities of new employees and those existing ones who the Department of Homeland Security has reason to believe are unlawful" -- I am not sure this is a good idea. Businesses think it is. Which means to me it must be a bad idea. It's really a one time set-up cost along with the cost of re-hiring replacements. If the penalties for deliberate hiring of illegals were severe enough (say 5-10 times the salary of the worker), I think this would be a pretty good investment. Now what does all this have to do with Homeland Security, who put out the first statements against the proposal? I have no idea. Our security isn't in danger because a few (million) people can cross the border. Our economy is. Difference.

"It would strip a requirement that employees present a federally standardized "REAL ID""-- However this is a good idea. We shouldn't need yet another worthless piece of identification from the state. I'm pretty sure homeland security doesn't need to know where everyone is.
