House OKs bill that consolidates functions

COLUMBIA --- The House has given key approval to a bill that streamlines some of the state's bureaucracy, giving more day-to-day control of the operation of government to the governor.

The legislation that won second reading with a 111-0 vote Tuesday incorporates more than a dozen functions now handled by the Budget and Control Board and other agencies into a new Office of Administration.

Senate wants House to back its immigration bill

COLUMBIA --- South Carolina state Senate leaders are calling on the House to go along with their plans to require all employers to verify the immigration status of their workers. Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell said there's no middle ground because the House only wants employers doing business with the state to check if their workers are legal. The Senate wants everyone checked.

Many states are joining the ranks of the very few, to fight to unburden the taxpayer of the illegal alien occupation of our nation. Most political candidates cringe in dark corners like frightened mice, when the term illegal alien becomes manifested. Many state potential lawmakers realize this is what the majority of the American public want, not the tainted hierarchy of Republicans and Democrats who bow down to special interest groups.

It just goes to prove that using Oklahoma as a good indicator, that once that an untainted legislator enacts strict laws against pariah employers. That not only will the percentage of unemployment drop, but also they are saving massive revenues throughout the whole state. It makes logical sense that when illegal immigrants and family members choose to flee states, such as Oklahoma, Georgia, Arizona and others with disrupting employers sanctions. US citizens and legal residence no longer have to compete for jobs. President Bush's old adage, "that Americans won't do...?" is far from the truth. You only have to read the articles of arrests around the country. Such as a illegal aliens, working in a shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, earning $28.00

The fact that anti-illegal immigrant states is gaining ground, against the usual suspects like big business, organized religion and a host of other radical special interest organizations, means we can win this war of American survival.

Many of us complain and do literary nothing, except sit on our hands. Those of us who do translate our thoughts into anger and write, email or call their constituency representative. Do have a lasting impression on the lawmakers. One or two calls from irate voters make little difference, but when thousands of us call Washington or the their local office and jamb the switchboard. The outcome to such voters pressure cannot be ignored?

The conclusion is we must raise the stakes against the very well bankrolled, special interest lobby. In the Congress right now pending is the Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088). It must be enacted before the new president enters the White House. Already leading Democrats are trying to erode it's enforcement power, as they are also trying to gut the border fence funding.

However, overall their is a bipartisan effort of commitment by the majority of Republicans to bring the SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) to a vote.

State enforcement laws are working very will, but a Federal law is all encompassing and can reduce the illegal alien occupation of our nation by ATTRITION or self-deportation. Once the spigot of jobs is cut off than the foreign nationals will leave or suffer the consequences when caught. This will include very heavy fines and imprisonment for parasite employers. The hierarchy of Democrats are trying to confuse the issue, stating it will cost $30 billion dollars, but the Hudson Institute says the Federal government is already spending $345 billion dollars a year subsidizing these illegal low wage earners. It is estimated that every American taxpayer paid more than $9,000 for each immigrant in the country, a third of whom are believed to be in the U.S. illegally.
