As if you didn’t already know the Amnesty Bill that the President is still throwing a fit over is bad, it’s also going to cost you more in tax dollars also.

Here’s a Question and Answer story I found today at AFA. I already knew the meat of the story (don’t we all!) but there are some things I was unaware of.

For Example:

Question: Will this bill adequately strengthen workplace enforcement laws and penalize employers who hire illegal aliens?

Answer: The bill requires every employer to use an invasive, unreliable employment verification system that civil libertarians and personnel executives view as hopelessly impractical.

· The bill would spend $400 million to build a new Electronic Employment Verification System—a monster database that would collect biometric data, photos, Social Security information and financial and licensing records for everyone seeking employment.

· Every employer would have to screen every job applicant—immigrant, citizen, even relative—through this system or face steep penalties.

· Unfortunately, EEVS will be based on a much smaller, error-plagued program (BASIC PILOT) established by a 1996 immigration law. A 2002 evaluation of that program determined it failed to protect employee privacy from inappropriate access by employers, government agencies and outside interests.

· BASIC PILOT is also plagued by frequent “false positives,” erroneous information that cost innocent workers their jobs. The law prohibits judicial review of such mistakes, making it virtually impossible to challenge errors or recover lost wages.

Can you say “Big Brother”?
