Should business that check for IDs and etc verify citizenship status?
IN other words should landlords be banned from renting property to illegals,should banks, car dealerships and other businesses that usually check for ID and other information be banned from doing business with illegals?

I think it makes sense to require these businesses to verify the legal status of their costumers.They should not be doing business with illegals,property owners should not be doing business with illegals,banks should not be doing business with illegals nor should auto-dealers be doing business with illegals.These business usually require ID,SS card and other information so they should have no problem verifying if a costumer has a right to be here.

Nominally I'd say yes. You should require the same info as you need for an I-9, and i I am ever in a position to , say, rent property, I would.

And though it might break anti-discrimination laws, I would be more than willing to go to court over it.

Note that being able to produce the documents necessary to complete an I9 doesnt necessarily mean you aren't an illegal.

But not requiring anything just leaves the door wide open for people to **** on our immigration laws.

Then you just end up with an even bigger homeless problem and crime problem, and besides landlords just want their money.

If the illegals do not want to be homeless then they can go back to their country of origin.

Agreed. For once I think.

Here are a couple of cities that have done something similar to what I think that should be done.


KXAN.com - Dallas Suburb Cracks Down On Illegal Immigrants

A Dallas suburb has approved tough anti-illegal-immigration legislation. City leaders in Farmers Branch have voted to make English the town's official language.

They also unanimously voted to fine landlords that deal with illegal immigrants.

Farmers Branch police have been authorized to screen suspects in custody to see whether they are in the country illegally.





Pa. City Puts Illegal Immigrants on Notice

Last month, in a raucous meeting, the mayor and City Council passed the Illegal Immigration Relief Act. (Barletta wore a bulletproof vest because, he says, Hazleton is menaced by a surge in crime committed by illegal immigrants.) The act imposes a $1,000-per-day fine on any landlord who rents to an illegal immigrant, and it revokes for five years the business license of any employer who hires one

Yes, the United States will never be the shining city on a hill until everywhere a person goes they hear: "Show me your papers!" :2wave:

Exactly! But it's no surprise that the thread starter has absolutely no respect for the Constitution since post after post calls for removing people's civil rights and even more extreme fascist requests.

The best way to deal with illegal immigration is to punish employers, big time. IF you crack down on them allowing undocumented people to work for them by using gigantic fines and jail time the problem would diminish.

So showing your ID/driver's license and SS card and various diplomas when ever you apply for a job doesn't count as showing documents?What about when you cash a check,does the bank take your word about who you say you are or do they want proof?

You must be a proillegal?Am I right?Seeing how you made such an asinine comparison you must be a proillegal trying to demonize those who do not want our immigration laws to be shitted on.

It is asinine to compare showing proof that you are a citizen to a dictatorship or fascist regime.Banks and other financial institutions,car dealerships and property owners require that you show an ID/driver's license and a few other things and they sometimes look into your past to see if you have good credit.I am not saying we should require grocery stores and department stores to verify citizenship of cash paying customers.

I agree.Banks,car dealerships, and property owners should not do business with illegals.These are institutions that usually check ID,look into a costumer's past and usually require that the individual show something other than a ID.

IF you crack down on them allowing undocumented people to work for them by using gigantic fines and jail time the problem would diminish

I think we should treat those that hire illegals the same way we do drug dealers.We confiscate the property and assets of those who deal drugs because the money to pay for some of those things was earned through an illegal means(unless they can prove those things were accumulated through legal means).
