Good news - E-Verify use soaring in… California! What with 14M people on unemployment under Obama ... why should illegals be holding jobs here? Not good news for Dems in 2012 though, they need those illegal votes. Posted on October 30, 2011 by PoliPundit Illegal immigrants will increasingly self-deport: From corporate giants Apple ( AAPL) and Chevron to the organic-friendly grocer Berkeley Bowl and the nonprofit Kaiser Permanente health care organization, more than 26,000 employers in the state have signed up for the federal E-Verify program that checks the immigration status of employees. As a growing number of states require public and private employers to use E-Verify, California has gone out of its way to make it voluntary, passing a law this month that bans local governments from forcing firms to use electronic verification. Still, the number of California job sites using E-Verify to scrutinize their workers — usually on the first few days on the job — increased by 37 percent to more than 90,000 from a year ago, according to government records. The state has more job sites using the electronic verification system than any other. Some firms voluntarily run their employees through the E-Verify database in hopes of avoiding government audits or immigration raids that could lead to fines or damage their brands. Federal contractors participate because they must. When E-Verify flags work documents as suspicious, employees can challenge the Department of Homeland Security or quit. About 2.5 million workers in California had their paperwork audited through the system in the past year. Retailers have been particularly eager to join in recent months, said attorney Ann Cun, of San Ramon-based workplace consultants INSZoom. That could affect who gets hired as stores and warehouses prepare for the annual surge of temporary work over the holidays. A Target store in Walnut Creek made news just before Christmas 2009 when an internal audit forced out 40 immigrant workers on the overnight shift. Hundreds of thousands of employers all over the country are using E-Verify, including all federal contractors, all businesses in states like Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama, as well as all state government contractors in many states. No wonder the number of illegal immigrants is now declining: In summary, the number of unauthorized immigrants living in the United States in January 2010 was 10.8 million—the same as in January 2009—but down from 11.8 million in January 2007. Between 2000 and 2010, the unauthorized population grew by 27 percent. polipundit.com

Democrat Blanche Lincoln To Obama: Stop Regulating By David Hogberg Tue., Nov. 01, 2011 7:30 AM ET Tags: Blanche Lincoln - Obama - NFIB - Jobs - Regulation Today the National Federation of Independent Businesses will release a letter that calls on President Obama to cut back on government regulation. What’s notable is that one of the signatories is ex-Sen. Blanche Lincoln, an Arkansas Democrat. Although Lincoln tended to be a more moderate Democrat while she was in the Senate, it’s still not helpful to the White House to have a party member do something like this just before an election year. ..... blogs.investors.com

that is right up there with Palin being able to see Russia from her porch. If you believe she said that, you are dumber than a rock. You might even be dumber than the Democrat congressman who thinks Guam is going to sink.
