Rep. Luis Gutierrez will supposedly introduce a comprehensive immigration reform bill shortly, and he's already released a summary of one of the provisions. Per this, he said his bill will include:
"language that guarantees that no American citizen, no one born in the United States of America, will ever lose a job opportunity to someone who is foreign born."
1. This is "boob bait for Bubba", a showy trinket designed to distract Americans from his massive amnesty.
2. I believe this would violate the Constitution, in that native born citizens and naturalized citizens would be treated differently.
3. Even if it made it into the bill, and even if the bill passed with that provision in it, the American Civil Liberties Union would immediately seek to prevent the provision from being enforced, claiming that it's not possible for employers to tell the difference between someone born here and someone who wasn't.
Gutierrez' provision is as fake as the "touchback" scheme in his previous amnesty, the scheme that he laughed about on TV.
