Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times
dcblogs writes "In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday on Arizona's immigration enforcement law, H-1B workers are being advised to keep their papers on them. About half of all H-1B visa holders are employed in tech occupations. The court struck down several parts of Arizona's law but nonetheless left in place a core provision allowing police officers to check the immigration status of people in the state at specific times. How complicated this gets may depend on the training of the police officer, his or her knowledge of work visas, and whether an H-1B worker in the state has an Arizona's driver's license. An Arizona state driver's license provides the presumption of legal residency. Nonetheless, H-1B workers could become entangled in this law and suffer delays and even detention while local police, especially those officers and departments unfamiliar with immigration documentation."
Oh please! perhaps you might ought to care about your fellow Americans who are dying daily from this open border policy instead of boo hooing about about having a fricking driver's license.
I hate to break the news to ya, but it ain't just poo little Paco coming to work that's crossing the border, we are talking dope dealers, human traffickers, some really serious scum are crossing that huge leaking sieve of a border as well. Look at the crime rates in the border states and you'll find their crime rates are climbing like mad, their jails are about to explode, are you will to pay a 30% tax increase for the increased police, prisons, medical care, etc to take care of them? We already don't have jobs for the people we do have, if you look at the real numbers and not the BS numbers you are looking at around 24% unemployment, and in minorities its much worse.
Like it or not we are broke folks, we can't even pay for what we have without huge debts, and you HONESTLY expect to be able to take on every criminal that can cross the border as well? i hope you got some big pockets, or don't mind rampant inflation when the gov prints money like mad to pay for all this.
To me the worst part is as someone who voted for Obama this is just the final proof to me that the man is simply not qualified to be the leader of the USA. Instead of standing for what he believed or offering different ways of dealing with the mess he has basically chosen to completely ignore the problem so he can pander to the Latino vote, just as he pandered in the Martin case for the black vote and after being against it in 11 being for gay marriage now to pander to the LGBT vote. The man simply has no leadership abilities and has done nothing but flip flop and pander, when he's not on vacation.
That is why for the first time since Reagan VS Carter I'll vote Rep, simply because i just can't stomach such a piss poor excuse for a POTUS.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
