MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A commission created by the Alabama
Legislature to review illegal immigration has recommended tougher
enforcement against violators, more help for businesses to identify
legal workers, and a comprehensive guest worker program.
The Joint Interim Patriotic Immigration Commission held hearings
across the state in recent weeks and then presented its
recommendations to the Legislature on Tuesday.
The recommendations also include getting a reliable system for
Alabama employers to verify that workers are legal, impounding the
vehicles of people without proper licenses or insurance coverage,
and training more police to enforce immigration laws in areas of
the state having the most problems.

Even when they come here legally they cost the taxpayer. They work for $8 an hour, have big families which qualify them for food stamps, free medical and section 8 housing. When my son was born I had to take a job closer to home, My new insurance would not cover him until after he was born, 5 years later we have finally paid it off. We applied for help with several agencies, apparently I made to much money at the time ($12 an hour). The couple in the next room were in this country with a green card having a child, they paid absolutely nothing. I know this because they worked for a friend of mine in landscaping. The goverment will help aliens (legal and illegal) before it helps american citizens. They may be god’s children but hard working americans are paying for them!!

Thank you for fighting for our freedom, I completely agree that every foreigner that wants to live here in the usa needs to come here legally.

One other thing, if these people as you put it, which are God’s children, were not wanting to help themselves then they would still be in their country, not all of them from Mexico, suffering!!! I agree that they need to come over legally, but I don’t think we as a country should be so racist.

There are plenty of people here in the united states that have lots of kids that are living off of the government. So I have a great idea, lets just send everyone in the united states back to the countries in which their ancestors originally came from. Then there will be nothing to fight about.

Ok Lynda, that’s just like someone to use that pitiful excuse about how bad someone has it no matter where they live. There are alot of Americans that live just as bad but we all have a choice in how we live and we choose to live the way we want. I don’t feel sorry for no one that dosen’t want to help themselves. These people are having children like stray cat’s and dog’s. If this wasn’t a huge problem, then why are the authorities trying to do more about Border Control and why are the authorities driving up to these construction sites picking them up??????????? Watch the news. It’s a big problem and everyone has an opinion!!!!! I’m not going to argue with anyone about this ignorant problem that a LOT of people, not just me have!!! Have a great evening.

one quick comment icy111: I know all about the social security cards and the fake ID’s, I am not saying that I agree with it, but the hispanics are not the only illegal immigrants. Think about it.

I understand a lot more than you think, I did not say that all of them all of them are not to blame, but I have been to Mexico and not just the border. I know how they have to live. It is not their fault, it is their government that keeps them in poverty. If I lived there and had a family to take care of, I would probably come here illegally also. I know it is a crime to come here illegally but I also know that if your family was starving or freezing, you would do whatever it takes to help them.

Just one last thought, unless you are an American Indian, then your family once upon a time, came here illegally. No one asked the American Indians permission for us to invade THEIR country.
