A Workable Solution to the Immigration Issue
Off Grid Blogger blog ^ | November 9, 2012 | Off Grid Blogger

Posted on 11/09/2012 4:40:23 PM PST by grumpa

We have illegal immigrants living among us here in Texas. We like them and greatly appreciate their contribution. However, we should make a distinction between those who are here only to work, and those who are here to work and to integrate into American society. Here is my plan.

Non U.S. citizens could apply for a Work Visa whether they reside in a foreign country or are already in America illegally—no distinction. To be accepted they must meet certain basic criteria of literacy and a clean record. Those who are accepted into the Work Visa program as illegal aliens would pay a tax penalty over several years. So they do not get off scott free. All those who have a Work Visa will also have a path to citizenship if they work toward that goal.

This is not amnesty. Employers who hire people who do not have the Work Visa are fined. Those workers caught here who have not at least filed the application for the Work Visa can be deported.

Those workers who have filed the paperwork to get into the system would then be trackable to be sure that they are virtuous. If they do not have an adequate education and English skills, they would be required to go to night school. This system therefore moves these people along into our society or discriminates against them if they do not participate in the path to integrate fully.

Let me give you an example of a man I know. He was brought here by his parents when he was 9 years old. He graduated from high school with good marks. He married an American girl and they have 3 kids. He would like to go into the dental field but as neither a citizen of Mexico nor the U.S. his tuition would be higher than he can afford. He would like to become a citizen but he is stuck in no-man’s land. This is the kind of person we want here. But the current system has shut him off.

He has a couple of brothers who have not progressed as my friend has. They really do not want to assimilate into American society. Under my plan, they would either have to get on the path that takes them into the system or be deported to Mexico.

My plan may not satisfy everybody. But it comes to grip with reality. It honors the law. It is faithful to our founding concepts and our natural instincts of compassion.

Every illegal alien who is employed in the United States has committed one or more of the following crimes: ID Theft, Document Fraud, Social Security Fraud, Employment (I-9 Form) Fraud, Federal Income Tax Evasion, and Conspiracy to Violate Immigration Laws.

I don't like them and I don't greatly appreciate their "contribution".

No matter how tolerant and compassionate we become---no matter how many freebies we offer, no matter how complete is the amnesty, it will never be enough.

Their loyalties are----and will always be----to Mexico and the Third World.

Reconquista will soon be underway with Obama leading the charge........real Americans will be shoved under the bus to make way for Obama/Mexican triumphalism.

We must never forget the visceral hatred Mexico and the Third World holds for America---- and the savage TW banditos longstanding plans to make America pay for their own failures.

==========================================

Mexico is pushing north at a furious pace---throwing its "pressure groups" over the border---salivating for reconquista---to takeover the SW. They are financing and coaching their fifth column invasion.

The wailing and whining propaganda-----"just here for a better life, to do jobs Americanos won't do" gets louder and louder (effectively manipulates manipulates bleeding heart sap-happy liberals.....and vote-crazed US politicians).

==================================================

BLOOD-CURDLING LA RAZA STUDIES TOSSED OUT OF ARIZONA SCHOOLS

La Raza Studies does not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323).

The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America (pg. 167): “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (AKA the Plan of San Diego). America-hating Raza Studies teach (1) violence, (2) undermining US ntl security, and, (3) the need for Mexico to "re-take seven states in the Southwest...in order to make the SW a Chicano nation. "

SCHOOL BOARD NUT CASE Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza indoctrination programs in Tuscon schools. Adelita is all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...she is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7) who was just narrowly re-elected to our US Congress.

Cong Raul Grijalva is one of Mexico’s most productive and loyal Fifth Column in the US Congress....aiding and abetting the latino criminal underworld, colluding to take back the SW, and loot and pillage the US treasury.

Harass and hassle them until they go back from whence they came. No public assistance and the same medical care that Obama-care will allow the elderly - give them a pill to ease their passing into the next world.

HYPHENATE PRICE TAG the price we are paying so that vote-crazed Obama and other desperate pols can get re/elected. NOTE Oftentimes the conniving pols bury these programs within other programs making them difficult to find. Americans have been hammered with govt propaganda that it was the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting the US. Here’s the real reasons:

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.
Verify at: http://www.fairus.org/site/PageServer?pagename=iic_immigrationissuecenters7fd8

2. $22 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.Verify at: http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.HTML

3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. Verify at: http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.HTML

4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary & secondary education for children here illegally and [usually] cannot speak a word of English. Verify at: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANscriptS/0604/01/ldt....0.HTML

5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies (or as Terry Anderson says “JACKPOT” babies!)Verify at: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANscriptS/0604/01/ldt.01.HTML

6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. Verify at: http://transcripts.cnn.com/%20TRANscriptS/0604/01/ldt.01.HTML

7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens. Verify at: http://transcripts.CNN..com/TRANscriptS/0604/01/ldt...01.HTML

8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & socialservices by the American taxpayers. Verify at: http://premium.cnn..com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01..HTML

9. $200 Billion dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. Verify at: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRI

13. In 2006, illegals sent $45 BILLION in remittances to their countries of origin.

Verify at: http://www/..rense.com/general75/niht.htm

14. The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States. Verify at: http: // www.drdsk.com/articleshtml

The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. Are we THAT Stupid?WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

PLUS!

1. The Earned Income Credit...money people get back on their taxes that they NEVER paid into in the first place! Illegal aliens, most of which pay zero in net taxes, enjoyed $4.2 billion from the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) last year. That’s more than the annual revenue from the selected oil tax deductions and corporate jet deductions combined!Verify: http://www.redstate.com/dhorowitz3/2011/09/02/illegal-aliens-receive-4-2-billion-in-additional-child-tax-credits/

2. The cost of prosecuting and making SURE the “rights” of illegals are protected by US laws madefor US citizens. In 2009, the U.S. Justice Dept filed nearly 92,000 pro-immigrant-related criminal cases in the federal courts. The record-breaker accounted for more than half of all new federal prosecutions, according to data maintained at Syracuse University. Verify at:

I like my plan better:

Illegals out. Now.

The line for permission to enter the United States starts at your local American Embassy.

This not amnesty. Under my plan (a) children born in the US are not automatic citizens as they are now, (b) holders of Work Visas are not eligible for food stamps or other taxpayer welfare, (c) hospitals are not required to accept these people even at their emergency rooms. This plan is not a moderate plan. It actually makes things tougher for illegals.

Do you remember the promises that the 1986 amnesty pushers made? They broke every one of them, including, "securing the border." And they will eventually break every one of the promises the new amnesty makes, including the one which says they can't vote. Ditto for "guest worker programs, which turn into citizenship programs.

Maybe you will understand when Dems (or worse) control all 3 branches of government forever.

“No new laws required or anything - just enforce what we have on the books now and implement maximum fines. None of the rest of the suggestions will be needed.”

ABSOLUTELY!!! Folks, either we’re a nation of laws and equal justice or we aren’t! And it’s lookin’ like we aren’t!

Of course you’re right.
It’s over Liz, it’s too late. Like they told my Cherokee ancestors, “Accept the inevitable, or else”.

Here's how the "workable solurtion" works out (/snix).

Sap-happy Nancy Pelosi says: "Our new Dem Caucus will celebrate diversity .... in the next Congress we expect to have 61 women, 43 African Americans, 27 Hispanics, 10 Asian Americans and 6 LGBT Americans.”

The sappy Dem sure knows how to divide and conquer by race and color, eh? Notice the sap says she "expects" all of them diversities to come to Washington----soon as all the Dem voter fraud is certified (/cackle).

=================================

My, my. Twenty-seven Hispanics? Another bunch of stupids with loyalty to the Third World--- who know nothing about the US Constitution and the way the founders structured governance.

Tex Cong Hinojosa draws a blank on Second Amendment
themonitor.com | Dave Hendricks / Posted by marktwain

McALLEN — Asked Wed about the 2nd Amendment, longtime US Rep. Rubén Hinojosa fumbled for an answer. “There are so many people in Washington who come and talk to us about the Constitution and the rights that they want kept sacred and that not do anything about them. (sic) That we not change them. That we not amend them,” said Hinojosa. “And I can tell you that — I’m drawing a blank on the 2nd Amendment, but I think it’s the weapons, isn’t it? The NRA?”

Hinojosa recovered after a brief pause, recalling how the 1999 Columbine High School massacre convinced him America needs stronger background checks at weekend gun shows and that he supports more restrictive gun laws. “And especially those machine guns. Why in the hell do we have to have machine guns? And don’t touch that, because NRA will come and put you on the black list,”

Hinojosa said. “Well, I didn’t go up there to be Mr. Popular. I went up there to do the right thing. To help our community. To protect them.”

Hinojosa spoke Wed at a political debate hosted by the McAllen Rotary Club, which drew about 50 people to the Salvation Army building, 1600 N. 23rd St. The 72-year-old Democrat from Mercedes is running for a ninth term against Republican/challenger Dale Brueggemann, a businessman from Seguin.
