The provision is not included in the Sellout Substitute Amendment forged by the Turncoat Caucus and the Democrats.

GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions and Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson attempted several times to bring their bipartisan amendment to the floor last week. SA 239 would require local governments and businesses that receive porkulus money to use the federal E-Verify citizenship check system.

On the House side, a long term extension of the E-Verify program passed there 407-2 (Conservative Oasis).

But Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to allow it to come to the floor. Now, we’re headed for cloture.

“While it is difficult to believe that Senate leaders might insist that illegal aliens have the same chance at new stimulus jobs as unemployed Americans, this scenario may now be at hand,” says Roy Beck of Numbers USA. “SA 239 is now unlikely to receive a floor vote.”

Shameful but consistent. If the Commander in Chief won't release his birth certificate (the one that shows his birthplace), why should we expect aid recipients to do so?

As for the rest of us who have to prove citizenship to get such luxuries as drivers licenses, that's because we have a different set of standards.

My God! Who are these people?

While we look at it as waste, they look at it as reelection money well spent.
