Immigration reform caught on discrimination, enforcement
WASHINGTON - Before job applicants can work at the Bird Key Yacht Club, Marsha Woerner submits their identity information to federal authorities over a computer system that checks databases for red flags.
The office manager doesn’t take that extra step to protect members of the exclusive club in Sarasota from being served martinis by felons, but rather to avoid running afoul of immigration laws.
The club is one of almost 11,000 businesses - a fraction of the millions nationwide - in a pilot project Congress authorized in 1996 to give employers an easy way to reduce the odds of hiring an illegal immigrant.
“It saves you a headache in the long run,” Woerner said.
Among the elements of immigration reform that the House and Senate have agreed on, in principle, is that all employers should use an expanded version of that system, which compares submitted information to millions of Social Security and immigration records at the time of hire.

"As the National Journal's Ron Brownstein has been reporting, white America is increasingly alienated and distrustful of all our major economic and political power centers - the banks, big corporations, the government. And, for the first time in our lifetimes outside the South, white racial consciousness has visibly begun to rise."
