Good luck getting the public to accept that
Arizona has a similar law, In Oklahoma you have to be arrested first before they verify your legal status. Besides that how is this any different than cops checking to see if you have any warrants?
Can you prove they're getting these services now?
Illegal immigrants are issued ID cards in some places - USATODAY.com
Illegal Immigration Costs California $10.5 Billion Annually
Yes, because if they're here, they're better off ignorant!
There parents are here illegally, the last thing those people should be able to do is walk freely into a government institution or facility.
You do realize that about 30-40% of the base economy in the Southwest is done by undocumented workers, right?
Somehow I doubt that. This seems more fear mongering by the pro-illegals that tomatoes are going to go to 5 bucks a pound if they have to hire legal workers.
Sweet, we can pay for their room and board for six months and accomplish nothing!
It help in Del Rio Texas under operation streamline.As a matter of fact here is a thread I did on it.

Besides that it only cost
$21,000-$31,500 a year to keep someone in jail. So if even every illegal was jailed and stuck in jail for a minimum of 6 months it would be 210-315 billion(
$10500 and $15750 six months in jail x 20 million illegals) and which is a lot less than the 2.7 trillion required for amnesty.
Amnesty Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $2.6 Trillion | The Heritage Foundation
Again, good luck getting people to vote for that.
Seeing how a lot of these places verify your credit I somehow doubt it is going to be an extra hassle.
You do realize that day laborer sites are used by MORE than just illegals...
Seeing how those who are here legally can get work at temp services, Labor ready(temp services that pay you the same day you work),employment agencies, honest businesses and the fact that agricultural and seasonal work visas are not self petitioned I serious doubt any of those people are here legally.
Not if you amend the Posse Comitatus Act to make an exception for the border.
More taxpayer money wasting for accomplishing nothing.
If you keep jailing those who aid and harbor illegals then most of those people will stop aiding and harboring illegals.
This is getting ridiculous, who is going to PAY for all of these new proposals?
You think amnesty is free plus the additional illegals that will come here wanting their turn at amnesty?
You arent getting any tax money and voters sure as hell arent going to vote for half this stuff.
Pro-illegals wouldn't vote for any of that stuff. But seeing how these solutions would basically nip illegal immigration in the butt by encouraging illegals to go back home on their own I am sure most tax payers would support something like this. Especially seeing how it would not cost that much to look up a government database or to ask for other documents.
You're proposing we turn the US back to the McCarthy era where everyone is paranoid about undocumented immigrants left and right.
If you are an employer you should already be checking to see if the workers you hire are here legally.
Last time I checked it was illegal to aid illegals,I want enforcement of this law on the federal and state level.
Aiding, abetting, harboring, encouraging illegals a felony
Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):
A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:
* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or
* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
I'm sorry but that is not a solution. Hell if it ever got that bad here, I'd go out of my way to help undocumented immigrants.
Then you should be tossed in prison when you do harbor and aid illegals.
