Calling Ruth Munson!

Senate Bill 1878 has passed the Illinois Senate and is now before the House. Instead of "forbidden" under the current law, checking the Social Security Number of new hires is now "discouraged" under SB 1878.

But at the same time, the bill tells state agencies AND cities they CANNOT use E Verify. And, they can't require contractors to use it as part of their bid to do city work.

If this passes, TWO of AFLA's initiatives regarding illegal aliens will be against the law. And these two are the same ones the city has agreed to do.

But government agencies get fooled by new hires just like everyone else. Here a link to a 2006 report by the Social Security Administration Inspector General:

Below is a screen print of page 4 of that report (pdf page 6).

It seems to me that government agencies ought to be concerned about who they hire. As I told the Elgin City Council, hiring an illegal alien to spread mulch is not a serious issue. Failing to detect one working at the water treatment plant IS as serious issue.

The State Legislature needs to fix the wording of the verification legislation to allow screening by the State of Illinois and Home Rule Municipalities. Better yet, they need to just STAY OUT of the matter altogether and let the federal laws prevail.



Ruth Munson needs to hear from you on this matter. After all, she's elected to represent YOUR interests.



Call her at 847-622-1048 or e-mail her at ruthmunson@ruthmunson.com.


Thanks!

  1. I e-mailed Ruth I can pretty much say she could care less about the people want. With as corrupt as the government is they work for businesses.

  2. R. Munson must be replaced next election. She is a traitor and a con-woman. Hopefully she will be indicted along with schlock,womack and all other corrupt city officials. remember the nazi's all believed in the CAUSE.

  3. Ruth got her start with Fiesta Salsa and Common Ground (the playground project).
    The trouble comes when you try to pin her down on illegals.
