 The 236th Birthday of the U.S. Army

Q: Why Were the E-Verify Hearings and Debate Postponed by the Suffolk County Legislature??

A: Because Legislator Ricardo Montano (D-Brentwood) made a motion to postpone until after budget hearings on November 9 with the motion seconded by William Lindsey (D-Holbrook).

More than 900 companies in Nassau and Suffolk have signed up for the program.  What were the Democrats afraid of?   Losing some votes? This program is hugely effective in weeding out illegals nationwide and should be adopted permanently in both counties.

Zeldin Military Funeral Protest Bill Advances

Sen Lee Zeldin (R) is co-sponsor of a bill that would severely limit the ability of  individuals or groups to protest the funerals of military personnel.  This comes as the result, of course, of groups such as the Westboro Church group who have made unseemly protests in the past.  There are some who object to the bill as it may have unintended consequences to those who believe their first amendment rights in situations other than funeral protests could be compromised.
