As I said. I was a prosecutor for a long time. It is not prosecutorial discretion to give someone who is unlawfully in the country a work permit. a photo IDas they intend to doa Social Security number. the right to participate in Social Security. the right to work. to take any job in America. What job are they going to take? Who is offering any jobs of any numbers today in America? Not many. So these individuals who are here unlawfully will now be able to go to the trucking company and take a pretty good trucking job or maybe a forklift operator job or maybe they want to work for the county commission. I asked the Attorney General nominee 2 days ago at a hearing would the Department of Justice sue a business that said: Well. we have job openings. but we are going to hire those people who have green cards or who came here lawfully and have a lawful status. but we are not going to hire somebody with temporary Presidential amnesty? Are you going to sue them for some sort of violation of rights? She said she didnt know.
