Tag: HB-4024 (page 2)

A bill recently signed into law by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett - Act No. 127 (formerly Senate Bill 637), The Public Works Employment Verification Act - requires all public works contractors and subcontractors with the state to enroll in and use the federal E-Verify electronic employment eligibility verification system to verify the legal work authorization status of newly hired employees in the United States.  The text of the new legislation, which will take effect January 1, 2013, is available here: The Public Works Employment Verification Act.

Imagine that, a swing state protecting its jobs from going to illegals?  Yes, the list grows without Michigan.  Voters in the State House 104 must be happy with their current Corporate Welfare, and illegal alien lovin' Pale Pastel sent to Lansing.  Hey! It's their guy that is responsible for obstructing HB 4024 and HB 4026 for us.  Let's see if that part of the state is dumb enough to send him back to Lansing this fall.  I'll avoid and encourage others to avoid anything that is TC like it's the plague for siding with The Left and illegals over Americans.  Guaranteed.

The mayor is welcoming word that the state plans to dedicate $25 million toward blight elimination efforts across Michigan, including $10 million in the city.
....

Legislation passed Wednesday lists how the state will spend its $97 million share of a national settlement with banks over faulty foreclosure processes. According to the state attorney general's office, $10 million of the $25 million for anti-blight efforts would be allocated for use in Detroit.

Yup.  Another $97.2M crock of theft by our 2010 Majority.  $20M for "counseling"?  WTF?!?!

This year is different, with a level of fruit crop devastation not seen since the 1940s. Many growers aren't opening their camps this season, leaving migrants in a difficult situation.

"Many migrants came to Michigan or moved into different areas of Michigan and had work earlier in the summer in strawberries and blueberries and other crops not affected by the freezes," said Mollie Schweppe, director of the Michigan Department of Human Services Office of Migrant Affairs. "Then they normally move on to picking cherries and peaches, but since those crops were destroyed they have a gap in their income of four to six weeks potentially until the late summer crops are ready to be harvested such as squash, pumpkins, I hear there's still some work in pickles, there will be some apples available." An inter-agency migrant services committee worked quickly to come up with a means of assisting these workers. The Michigan State Housing and Development Authority has allocated $172,000 of its revenue for emergency housing assistance for migrant workers.

Through Aug. 31, the program will offer up to $400 to cover one month's rent either at a migrant camp or other rental property. The money should be able to help about 430 families, Schweppe said. Applications for the assistance must come from a household member that is in the country legally.
....

Michigan has an estimated 90,700 migrant and seasonal farm workers and dependents, which includes some families that stay in Michigan year round, along with others that come from Texas, Florida or elsewhere for all or part of the harvesting season.

Rest

I have to ask, has there been anybody excluded or not invited to belly up to the Michigan taxpayer trough?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Hellooooo?  That must mean it's a no.  Well, I guess the upside to this is that Lansing is at least requiring a frontman to have proper documentation.  Thanks Big Agra for stuffing us with boarding your temp pool.

Ah, apple season.  You know what that means?  Rep. "known as more of a workhorse than a show pony," it's finally safe to reach into your cellar committee where bills go to die and dust off HB 4024 and HB 4026 to send up for a floor vote.  It's OK bub, that little cherry secret is safe with me.  Just you, and I will know.

Mum's the word.  ;-]

Snyder: Public safety a priority

Governor promises effort to help curb crime in state's cities next year

C'mon Rick, if you have any serious aspirations of a second term, it is time to end the Colbert Republican shtick.  Also, take note that even the clown wears a necktie.

My inbox reminded me today that every Michigan taxpayer has $929,000,000 reasons every year to be serious about protecting Michigan families and Michigan jobs.

Please, send Snyder a free fax to let him know that you are serious too by clicking HERE.

However, those same reasonable, fair-minded, law-abiding citizens have an issue with those who would come here in clear violation of our immigration laws, compromise our national security, have no intention of assimilating, and will serve no other purpose than to be a legal and financial drain on our society.  We know the difference between "legal" immigration and "illegal" immigration, and we never confuse the two (though the left-o-sphere sure as hell does their best to make sure that the uninformed masses do).

If State Representative Dave Agema gets his way next week, then it's going to become a tad tougher to be an illegal immigrant in Michigan.

And after a brief musical interlude, we'll go below the fold.
