If this is “a publicity stunt and that there are no statistics to back up his claims,” then nobody should be opposed. If the new law wouldn’t effect anybody, then no harm done by having it.

Next year Americans had better be on their guard against fraudulent voter registrations and the possibility of illegal immigrants voting in the 2010 Senate elections. Sen.Harry Reid (D-NV) comes up for re-election and if you didn’t know already, the great state of Nevada is overwhelmed by foreign nationals of the illegal kind. Be aware that under current voting law, a–UTILITY BILL– is officially identified as a legal document as identification in Nevada. In states that are heavily involved with illegal immigrants and the product of welfare fraud, Nevada and California specifically should be under the eye of the election authorities. As of now only contractors and subs are required to use E-Verify, which is very loosely audited. E-Verify must be enacted permanently as its success rate is progressively moving forward. E-Verify could be introduced to identify drivers license applicants, car registration, health care and even voter registrations. Then organizations that facilitate in suspicious activities would have a major obstacle to contend with, including fraudulent documentation.

During this ACORN controversy these two Western states have very large apportionment’s of political illegal immigrant sympathizers and–MUST–be removed from their career seats. ACORN and its big brother SEIU. ACORN and SEIU are the lead organizations behind Health Care and Comprehensive Immigration Reform known in truth as AMNESTY, which is the principle entities aggressively shoving for the passage of these very serious issues. ACORN is better known for hiring people with questionable backgrounds, to be engaged in fraudulent voting registrations. Sen.Harry Reid, Speaker Pelosi can be attributed to the near destruction of E-Verify, the federal verification program that a growing number of nationwide employers are beginning to use. As a pro-illegal immigrant incumbent he must be ejected from his Senatorial seat, because he is directly involved in the 2010 Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill.These are the worst of the worst with a grading of ( F ) – as according to NUMBERSUSA.

They have been adamant conspirators against any immigration enforcement and readily agreeable with another BLANKET AMNESTY. WE NEED TO MAKE EXAMPLES OF THEM AND THROW THE IDIOTS OUT OF OFFICE NEXT YEAR? These individuals are just part of the political conspirators who don’t mind illegal aliens settling in our nation and stealing AMERICAN JOBS.

Statement from Gov. Jim Gibbons “Our voting system is very simply the greatest in the world and is the basis of what makes this country great. The allegation that an organization that’s main purpose is to register new voters was doing so fraudulently is very troubling. I believe that requiring a photo ID to vote is a very reasonable protection for our voting system and should be enacted as law by the 2009 Legislature.”

Those who believe in America’s survival, without OVERPOPULATION as stated by the US Census bureau better read facts at NUMBERSUSA not the lies spawned by open border entities. Those who want details of corruption in WASHINGTON and state government go to JUDICIAL WATCH. Overpopulation, traffic hell should go to CAPSWEB. Other sites of interest on Immigration enforcement is ALIPAC and AMERICAN PATROL. We the people have the ultimate power to throw out anti-sovereignty incumbent politicians.

clee,
I assumed nothing I have seen first hand what I said work. Maybe not where you are from but here!!! A restaurant chain here was raided on a tip from some worker in the area and they raided about ten restaurants nation wide and netted almost 50 illegals. so when I post guy don’t assume. It makes an ass out of u and me!!!

Robin, I too am originally from Elkhart, Indiana and let me tell you that manu of the factories in Elkhart County have upwards of 95% of their workforce as illegal aliens. All of them are Hispanic (Not trying to be prejudice here.) and none of them speak English. When I retired from the Army in 2005 (20 years served) I tried to get a job at a factory. I knew my skills and leadership would be useful in the civilian sector. No matter where I went or what I did, the Mexicans (Most of them are from Mexico.) always seemed to come first. I, along my family in Indiana, have written to governor Mitch Daniels about this matter. He is actually trying to do something about this, but I don’t know what. Well, I keep hoping that our leaders try to return to the ways of our Founding Fathers and do things right. If you have a comment, please do so in good taste.

You all aren’t getting this. The law needs to be changed so that those who are paid BY EMPLOYERS who do NOT check their legal immigration status do NOT get paid workers comp benefits. If workers are here illegally, then they are being paid illegally. BWC can only do what the law requires them to do and if there’s a loophole and they’re stuck compensating people who should not be compensated, then Senator Seitz is correct in introducing a bill to correct that. Workers comp is funded by a percentage of payroll of companies. If loose employers aren’t reporting illegal immigrants on payroll, then they’re not paying workers comp on them. Why should ALL Ohio employers pay higher premiums to make up claims costs of people who should not be receiving compensation?

This is easy, employers pay into Ohio’s WC, the State Pays it out adding tax money as necessary. It is therefore in the best interests of the employers to ensure that their workers are legal and also in the public interest to see that the state makes good use of their tax money. Ohio needs to lock out the illegal people from this money regardless of the circumstances. The key being their illegal employment.

CITIZENS,I WAS IN A RUSH”’(I AM ANGRY)

I think the common denominator here is the word ILLEGAL. I would be inclined to support a “tent style” dormitory prison for ALL ILLEGAL aliens caught within the USA. But no free living there either… They must work to on a chain-gang type road repair to complete their sentence. Not only would this deter the revolving door of catch-release-reafend, it would also save thousands of local jobs and lost revenue that is being wired back to Mexico every payday.

THIS IS ‘ANOTHER’ EXAMPLE……….OF OUR GOVT FAILING THE PEOPLE WHO PAY FOR THEIR PENSIONS AND SALARY’S. THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED AT ‘SUCKING’ UP TO HISPANICS THEN TAKING CARE OF “CITIENS” OF AMERICA’!

The problem is not Workers Comp – the problem is companies that hire illegal workers! If you were to exempt illegal workers from Comp, it would only encourage them to hire more. As a long-time trucker, I know that illegal workers are being used on some of the most dangerous jobs in many companies . . .often with no safety oversight.I see them working the docks in every state in the country – often for government-contracted companies.It’s obvious that these companies are skimping on both pay and safety under the cover of using illegal workers. So, if they abuse said illegal worker like this and they are then injured, make them pay Workers Comp at the very least!Actually, they should be charging these companies double the Comp premium if they have an illegal worker injured on their premises.Two wrongs will never make a right. That said, these illiterate illegal workers come from a society where there is little concern for safety. They often take chances and shortcuts and endanger themselves in the name of ‘macho’. These companies know this and abuse this tendency accordingly. We cant do much about instilling a completely new attitude in these workers but we CAN do something about them being hired in the first place. DONT give these companies a break by absolving them from paying Comp – instead, make it too expensive for them to hire illegal workers!

Not totally related
Workers Comp in general is a drag on all OH businesses. My little Co. was paying $37,000.00 per yr. when we were not in a group rating. This is devastating for a small business.
When Government runs it, triple the cost.
KY’s WC is private Ins. A lot less expensive
Many Companies’s have eliminated Employees because of Workers Comp

Robin, the article was about workers’ compensation in the private sector. When you are injured on the job, you file a claim with the Workers’ Compensation Bureau. The Bureau is run by the State.

The article is about the fact that you don’t have to prove citizenship to apply for benefits for being injured on the job. You need all kind of doctor reports–both from private doctors and from a State-paid doctor–but no proof that you are a legal citizen.

And the article pointed out that “David Leopold, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, claims that Seitz is conducting a publicity stunt and that there are no statistics to back up his claims.” OF COURSE THERE ARE NO STATISTICS–the current law in Ohio doesn’t require any proof that you are a citizen.

What ever happened to ‘background checks’ on new employees? Would that not prevent illegals from obtaining jobs in the United States? We moan and cry about U.S. businesses sending work to other countries to get a price break. It appears the “other countries” are coming here and working for more money, taking jobs from legal citizens. Does not add up.

Illegals get hired via selective enforcement of statutes and politicians who have no use for the American people. It sounds like Ohio is a great place to clean house and toss out hack politicians on their defective ears. They aren’t concerned about right and wrong. These scum live to get elected ad re-elected.
This ‘practice’ gives politicians a form of immunity. It also deprives America of representation. It makes taxes a form of SLAVERY.
How is it that taxation without representatio helped start a war in the 18th century, but now it’s a ho-hum issue? When you have criminals in office, you either get rid of them, or you learn to like being a SLAVE. WAKE UP, AMERICA! People of Ohio,
here’s your chance to make America a free country again.

How do illegal aliens get hired by the government to begin with? Why is this even allowed? Don’t you have to have a social security number to become employed? It’s bad enough that small businesses hire illegals and pay them under the table because they will work for less, but a government office hiring them is inconceivable! With so many people out of work right now, this is really a slap in the face to all unemployed Americans.
