I used to be a republican but I have become an independent
and will not vote for either of the 2 people who run for office. Both of them are suporting illegal immigration and are promising us the moon. I think we should abolish the government since no one in Congress nor in the White House listen to what the people want anyway! Vote independent in November to get your message across!!!

Those like Sen. Menendez,Sen. H. Reed, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and several others who think they have so much power and influence over congress that can shove anything down the throat of congress and the American people must be taught a strong and prompt lession.THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST,I REPEAT M-U-S-T STAND UP TOGATHER,AND WITH ONE VOICE, DEMAND THAT OUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTIVIES DO THEIR JOBS ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEY SUPPOSE TO BE REPRESENTING AND NOT ACCORDING TO HOW THEY FEEL PERSONALLY.
The vote of the American people is the only way we can change this out-of-control goverment.We must prove to congress that, We, the Americam people will no longer sit by
and allow congress to do as THEY please. With an approval rating of just 9%, they know how we feel,now we must show them the wrath of the American people when they refuse to listen.

Why does this great country of ours rely so heavily on Social Security Numbers alone? There has got to be a better way. Our elected officials in Washington D.C. should be able to solve the problem quite easily. We elected them, and pay them a hefty salary to do the job for us, so that we could go on with our daily lives. IDENTITY THEFT is a mojor problem. Why? Because we let it happen. One should never have to pay so much to clear up one's credit because of IDENTITY THEFT. We so often hear the phrase buyer beware (I forgot the Latin term for that), but why not SELLER BE WARE? Let the seller take the loss if they do not verify the buyer's idenity carefully enough to prevent a loss. These credit card companies, and retailers are making billions of dollars each year and are not taking a penny of the loss. AND they have a LOSS ACCOUNT TO WRITE OFF SUCH LOSSES. So why should we the public? I once worked as a Bank Internal Auditor and then later as an I.R.S FIELD AUDITOR, until I got disgusted with the way those lawyers fought tooth and nail to clear their clients. The I.R.S. CODE used to be so complicated back then. It has been simplified some. Perhaps not enough. Let us all get together behind this and stop IDENTITY THEFT and make the SELLER BEWARE!

This man; Senator Menendez is the problem as well as all of the cronies acting like buffoon’s pretending they are doing something justified for the American people. But; in reality they are lobbying for their own self centered greed lining their pockets with worthless American currency at the same time stabbing their representative in the back is the larger part of problems facing our nation of laws today. Along with the corruption running rapid through the halls congress and Washington D.C. deserves no less than their own heads resting on the chopping block for US as Americans can feel the pain as well as the need end government as we know it. America today is a nation of amnesiacs. We have collectively surrendered our power to corporations and governments, and then we express disgust when we discover that our individual liberties have been overwritten by the very institutions we put into power. I pray that someday we will have the courage to realize that it is we who have fabricated these institutional illusions, and they only exist as fictitious projections of society's rules that we've come to think of as real, like the white lines painted on roadways designed to keep you in your lane. But in reality, there are no lanes, there are no corporations, and there are no governments. These only exist as agreements on paper, and as widely-shared hallucinations that define the constructs of modern society. They can be gone in an instant, and replaced in the next instant, if the whole nation simply comes to its senses and achieves a new level of collective consciousness. It is time that we stopped appealing to corporations and governments for bits and pieces of freedom and, instead, stood in our own power as free citizens, organized, empowered and informed. It is time we started asking, "Is there a better way to organize a society? Is there a societal construct based on individual liberties that can provide freedom, health, abundance and sustainability without the centralization of power that inevitably leads to corruption?"

 REPLY FROM JIM ROBB, NUMBERSUSA'S V.P. OPERATIONS:
I agree with your frustration about the refusal of Congress to face our problems. But your dicussion of heads of chopping blocks and need for revolutionary change makes me uncomfortable. NumbersUSA is an enthusiastic backer of our American democracy. We believe it works. If things need changing, and they do, then we need to convince those in office to make the changes, or use our democratic freedoms to switch out the current officeholders with those more responsive.

One of the unmentioned problems with the current don't ask, don't tell system is that thousands of Americans are subject to identity fraud when illegal immigrants use, fraudulently, a legal social security number and card that they have bought on the street. I read that one Social Security Number had been used over 4000 times, the SS Administration knew about it and refused to do anything about it!

What about a plan for compensation for all those people who have had their identities stolen by illegal immigrants? Also a plan to grant them new social security numbers is in order.

The real culprit here is the bureaucrats who refuse to uphold the laws of the United States.

I couldn't agree more with ANNMARIE2530 of TX. I worked for 20 yrs. for civil service and was ran through serious ID scrutiny. If we as American Citizens should go through that kind of scrutiny E-Verify is nothing and everyone should have to do it. It just makes sense to protect the laws that protect us.
By the way, it is really good to see this blog site up so that we members, and others, can touch bases. Great way to get more unity and learn from each other.

Well everyone, I want to chat with you about Idenity Theft, I honestly feel that should be a topic to comment on but it also goes along with ICE raids..Anyway I kept asking myself how I see thousands of illegals using cell phones, which you need good credit for the expensive ones ect...and driving new trucks and cars. In my extensive research..I found that illegals are not only having many anchor babies in the U.S as anchors but also they are using thier own US born childrens social security numbers to get jobs , licenses and credit. How do I know this, we passed here in Beaufort county an employment oridinance to audit employers to make sure they are following E-Verify. Well a friend of mine is a district manager of a clothing establishment and she was audited and they found out that three of her employess were just born about a year ago. Of couse they wee fired and turned over to ICE..But of course the company is losing its business license..because these criminals are using thier own childens IDS...anyway also come to findout that thier cousins and thier other so called family members are using the same number too..And another friend of mine who own a asphalt company also was audited and they found illegals using other US citizens IDS to get jobs from other western states..I feel strongly that these criminals should still be incarcerated for these crimes..which have been devistating to US citizens who find out when its to late and it cost them thousands to get thier idenity back. Well ther you have it YOU ned to check you and your loved ones alive or dead, social security numbers before it is too late and get Idenity Theft protection. Lets Chat :-)

I had a very positive reply from my congress person about E-Verify program and his stand for it for the USA and here in South Carolina.

I know this site has made a difference for the American people to have their voice heard. I really appreciate that and to be part of it.

I don't know if this is appropriate to mention this here. It has to do with the Senate vote that allows access to Social Security benefits to the illegal aliens this week. It is going to the House to see if they will pass this bill. I know there is a petition via email going around for the President to veto this bill.

If the government gives benefits to 'illegal' aliens who have never contributed, where does that leave those of us who have paid into Social Security all our working lives?

Is there any action being done in here on this matter?

You have always been aware of these matters and sent out the alerts so we may act quickly. If there is somewhere else that I should be mentioning this, please let me know.

Thank you.
=========================
NumbersUSA reply: Fortunately that email is just a rumor. However, last year Congress did consider an amnesty bill that would have allowed illegal aliens to qualify for social security.
There is no current consideration

Why not make e-Verify permanent and remove the strings. I am working now for 40 years and each employer did a background check, including SSN, credit history, education, and experience--since the 60s!

Why is there such a fuss over ID? I have always had to prove who I was for decades--at the voting booth, at the job opportunity/interview, at the entrance to events, at the DMV, etc, etc, etc.

If you are legal and it is really you--you need not mind being ID. Our constitution and other documents clearly deny anyone being anonymous (private, yes--anonymous, no).

What is the real fuss here?

It was all over the news yesterday how congress currently has a single digit approval rating. The first and easiest way for congress to get into more favorable light is to pass tough immigration legislation... and the SAVE Act (without strings and influence) is where they should start.

We are a company that is an agent for Homeland Security under eVerify. We help other companies check immigration status.

Not only should eVerify be renewed, it should be expanded to do a one-time canvass of all US workers. Only then will we actually know who is legal and illegal in every business (unless an ID act is passed).

Right now, employers can only check new hires and scores of illegals are clearly already in place with many companies.

Rep Bean wrote me a letter saying that HR 4088 the SAVE ACT would hurt employees/employers since they would have to show an ID to get work!

 ROY'S RESPONSE: Anybody who would say such a thing is obviously not interested in the truth -- or in protecting American workers.

Opponents of E-Verify try to make it sound like it would be an imposition on American workers. But here is what happens:

• Every worker already has to show some kind of ID when applying for a job.  Neither E-Verify nor the SAVE Act would require a person to show a single new form of identification when applying for a job.  Suggestions of extra IDs are nonsense.
• After a worker is hired, a company submits information from that employee (the same information that is collected by law currently) over the internet to see if it is legitimate. The worker (American or immigrant or illegal) is not involved in anyway.  The info being submitted is the same info that already is submitted to the feds in other forms.
• If the info submitted doesn't match up, the worker is notified.  The worker keeps his/her job while working with the feds on whether there was improper spelling or transposed numbers in the submission. If it turns out there is an error in the Social Security system, the employee needs to straighten that out so his/her tax payments are properly credited for future use. In a tiny fraction of cases, an American worker will need to take a few hours to get the Social Security Administration to correct his/her records. No American resolving that issue can be fired or laid off under  E-Verify.
