Really, illegals, (fake) asylum seekers, refugees, and lawful aliens should not be on any sort of government program

Tennessee law requires immigration review for public benefits starting this week

A Tennessee law set to take effect Wednesday will require local government agencies such as health departments to verify and report the immigration status of people applying for certain public benefits. Vivian Lozano Sterchi, chief operating officer of the Chattanooga immigrant advocacy group La Paz, said it’s unclear what the ramifications of the new law will be.

The law is broad and applies to any local government entity, including counties, cities, towns and local health departments. It applies to people 18 years or older who are applying for federal, state or local public benefits.

The law requires local governments to report to the state’s immigration agency the status of applicants so it can be shared with federal immigration enforcement officials. The new law makes an employee’s failure to report an individual’s unauthorized status a misdemeanor.

“I think what makes it so hard is the lack of clarity, which at the end of the day doesn’t matter, because this is a terrible bill that’s going to negatively impact hundreds of families in our state, and so families are afraid to receive medical care,” Lozano Sterchi said. “What does that mean for the overall health of our community, for our schools?”

It means anyone on public benefits who is not lawfully in the U.S. will have their names sent to ICE so they can be rounded up and deported. It means that illegals will be scared to apply, and legal aliens will also not apply (they are pretty much restricted in most cases for most visas from getting govt aid), leaving more money and services for actual citizens.

The law gives the Tennessee attorney general the authority to investigate allegations and complaints that a local government or employee is violating the law by not reporting someone who is an unauthorized immigrant or continuing services.

The law does not define public benefit or specify which public benefits or local government entities the law applies to.

That’s because it is all for people 18 and over. Why is this difficult to understand for the liberals?

A new law could create a list of immigrants illegally living in Mississippi. Advocates are alarmed

A new Mississippi law will authorize the state’s top law enforcement agency to compile a list of all immigrants illegally living in the state.

What’s to be done with that information is a bit open-ended. But the law set to take effect Wednesday is sparking alarm among immigrant advocates, who fear it could become a new tactic to target immigrants in conjunction with President Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of people lacking legal approval to live in the U.S.

Why fear? That’s exactly the purpose. My goodness, the Credentialed Media seems rather dense, eh?

The two AWFLs writing this screed, Maria Sacchetti and Lauren Kaori Gurley, miss the obvious conclusion that if a business depends on labor from illegals, fake asylum seekers, and TPSers who can be booted at any time they’re bad at it

Nursing homes, factory owners and immigrants brace for fallout from Supreme Court ruling

Immigrants began making plans to sell or rent their homes, secure bank accounts and figure out thorny issues like child custody arrangements. Business owners started calculating how many days they can continue to employ workers whose legal status is set to expire. And nursing home leaders warned they would have fewer beds to offer if health aides are forced to leave the country.

Panic rippled through communities from Florida to Ohio and beyond in the hours after the Supreme Court cleared the Trump administration Thursday to strip humanitarian protections from Haitians and Syrians — and potentially all 1.3 million immigrants from over a dozen countries who had been previously shielded from deportation.

“The residents will be losing caregivers that they really have become attached to,” said Colin O’Leary, executive director at Laurel Ridge Rehabilitation & Skilled Care Center in Boston. Managers at the facility were racing to figure out how much longer staff members from Haiti with temporary protected status could continue taking care of patients. “That’s a lot for our residents to handle.”

Attorneys said Haitians and Syrians could lose work permits in little more than a month, but the deadline remained unclear because lower court judges must issue orders to implement the decision. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, told reporters Thursday that Haitians and others with temporary protected status should be detained and deported once they lose the benefit.

It’s always some sort sob story with these people, always forgetting that the law is, in fact, the law. It should mostly be devoid of emotion. But, um, hey, what’s this claptrap about “lower court judges”? The Mullin v. Doe ruling pretty much said the lower courts need to stay the hell out of it: Congress gave the Executive the power to grant TPS and cancel it, and courts have nothing to do with it.

Some of those immigrants have lived in the United States for decades and said they feared being sent back to conflict-ridden homelands that they barely know and whose languages some do not speak.

And that is a problem, because the T stands for temporary.

Harlaine, 38, a registered nurse in Florida, said she hasn’t been to Haiti since she left for the U.S. at age 7 and had never visited because everyone told her it was too dangerous. She spoke on condition that only her first name be used because she fears being targeted by immigration authorities.

She’s been here 31 years and hasn’t attempted to get citizenship? Or even Permanent Resident status?

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, characterized the decision as “a mistake” and said it is too dangerous to deport people to Haiti, including the more than 10,000 Haitians living and working legally in his state. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) vowed to fight the ruling, even as the path to challenging it is unclear.

Yes, let’s bring in all these people who are dangerous.

“I’m telling you it’s going to cripple our health care system,” Hochul told reporters. “Who’s going to show up tomorrow to take care of grandma? Who’s doing that? Who’s stepping up?”

And here’s the thing, Democrats have been telling the kiddies that they should get highfalutin degrees, ones which sound great but have little value in the real world, that jobs like caretakers and nurses and such are beneath them (even though they can earn some good damned money). They tell even those Dem voter kiddies of lower status that jobs working with your hands are for chumps, so, they rack of tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt for garbage degrees that let them feel Entitled. Because all the imports will do them.
