Every year, New York spends about $4,380,808,000 on building and repairing roads and highways. This is money that comes directly from New York taxpayers. Unfortunately, New York does not require its subcontractors or employees to verify that its workers are in this country legally, leaving them free to hire as many illegal aliens as they wish with your tax money!
With 760,000 New York residents unemployed, Gov. Cuomo cannot allowing this to continue. It’s bad enough that illegal aliens cost New York $9,479,000,000 each year. Allowing illegal aliens to have continued access to New York’s job opportunities only encourages them to remain in New York illegally.
Unemployed New York residents should not have to compete against illegal aliens for jobs. Please send the free fax below urging Gov. Cuomo to require New York state agencies and subcontractors to ensure that everyone being employed using New York tax dollars is in this country legally.

Dear Gov. Cuomo,
For the sake of every unemployed American worker in our state, I urge you to take all necessary steps to ensure that no taxpayer dollars are used to hire illegal aliens. It is very disappointing that with so many unemployed Americans in our state, state law does not require state subcontractors to hire American workers (or even legal immigrants). To put it another way, subcontractors are free to hire illegal aliens without any fear of being punished by the state. How absurd is this? Taxpayers are spending untold millions on infrastructure projects such as road repairs, but the workers we hire don’t even have to be Americans. This needs to change. I hope you will act in the interests of taxpayers and the jobless in our state and make sure that state agencies and contractors are required to hire legal workers. Otherwise, taxpayer dollars are being used to hire illegal workers, which doesn’t help anyone. Sincerely, |
