Local government agencies not checking immigration status?

Debra J. Saunders reports on the attempts by Carl Olson of State Department Watch to try to get local Los Angeles-area agencies (mostly Westside/Malibu/Ventura) to use ICE's Basic Pilot Program to check whether someone can be legally employed. It might seem simple enough: these are legally-created entities, they should follow the law. Apparently he's come up empty. And, a state bill that he was involved with to require agencies to perform the check only got one vote in committee.

Perhaps it's time to start filing FOIA requests or similar or consider taking this to court.

Those he's contacted include: Ventura County Board of Education, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, City of Port Hueneme, Pleasant Valley School District, City of Malibu, Las Virgenes Unified School District, West Covina Unified School District, Santa Monica Community College District, Los Angeles Community College District, and Ventura County Transportation Commission.

so-called local government isn't checking?

got news for people it has not been checking for over 20 years that is the reason we have 40 million illegals inside the USA Or former USA, The fact is most so called government agencies are being ran by hispanics who think by removing laws inside this nation it will help in the death of this nation, its called racism, and soon would say treason, but its work isn't it?
