Jody Hice Introduces True Immigration Reform
conservativereview.com ^ | 2/11/15 | Daniel Horowitz

Earlier this year, Senator Sessions (R-AL) noted in his manifesto on immigration, “‘Immigration reform’ might be the single most abused phrase in the English language.”

When the political elites use the phrase ‘immigration reform’ they are referring to amnesty for illegal immigrants and across-the-board expansions of immigration. In reality, true immigration reform would encompass three elements:

1) Ending illegal immigration by implementing the obvious enforcement measures and eliminating the magnets that encouraged the crisis.

2) Doing a better job of keeping out those that represent a security risk by reforming refugee and asylum policies, the visa waiver program, and clamping down on visas from volatile regions.

3) Instead of focusing on expanding our already-high level of immigration, focus on a smarter immigration policy – one that weeds out those likely to become a public charge and focus on those with skills that benefit the country as a whole, not the just the corporate and political interests.

Last week, Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA), a freshman conservative, introduced legislation, the Nuclear Family Priority Act (H.R. 604), that would go a long way in achieving the third goal. In fact, it is the first true legal immigration reform measure that has been introduced in a while.

I fear that her legislation is far too REALISTIC for the RINOS to consider it and get on board.

Illegal immigration is the goal for the leadership of both parties.

Pass or no pass, with both parties corrupted, it won’t be enforced.

The complete bastardization of the 14th Amendment has to end. It is a back door to illegals.

The RINO leadership in the House will secretly change the bill to be what they want it to be. Then they will conveniently forget to tell anyone until after it has passed. Then the Senate will load it up with amnesty amendments and send it to conference where the Uniparty will make sure it passes both House and Senate. Obama will gladly sign the full blown amnesty bill.

Rep. Hice is close. This is what is needed:



A huge draw for illegals is citizenship for their progeny due to the insane interpretation of 14A. Get rid of that and the economic bennies for illegals and their employers and they will hotfoot it back south.

Too late for reform.

Issue an ultimatum to mexico: if you keep pushing off your undesired population on the US, the US citizens want something in return.

That something will be all of the current mexican territory from the tropic of cancer north, including ALL of baja california AND the gulf of california.

The desrcibed area WILL become property of the US, and you will have no say in the matter.

If the mexican government insists on dumping a 1/4~1/3 of their population on the US, well the US will take a 1/3 of you country to recoupe our costs. If you object to this, then will just take ALL of it from you, and if you fight back, we’ll just hand your la raza asses back to you.

Why not print this questionaire up encircle your answers and send it to your US Senator

Dear Senator
INS...Amnesty.. Forget about Ebola
We don’t allow cattle to enter without a background health and ancestry check which we also reqiure of legal immigrants who wait years and still go thru health and record checks. We also require that any legal immingrant demonstrate prior to entry that they offer a contribution to our society and not dependency upon it .

Yet we’re letting children and gang bangers in without doing any of this which has resulted in dispersing virulent new diseases (measles) and drug use which has resulted in unreported cases in schools where these illegal kids were placed.. Plus shoved a severe financial strain on local governments where they are placed .

Should any candidate for Attorney General supporting that practice be denied confirmation ?(Yes) (No) .Should those given this bypassed favored treatment who miss their INS hearing be deported fortwith ? (Y) (N).. ? Denied re-entry (Y)(N) ?

In “countries where an American citizen decides to be a “legal” emigree never mind being a seasonal visitor still are denied voting privledges. Own land in their own name. Face steep fines before getting kicked out let alone denied income and energy subsistance including food stamps, or bring in family members .

I (do) (don’t) believe we should allow such full citizenship privledges mentioned above which are denied by the country of national origin of the above, to a legal American immigrant , deny such full citizen privledges to any (emigree) (seasonal vistor) (illegal) if their country does not allow those same privledges to any citizen of the United States, .
While such a position will be condemed as defacto deportation particularly by the political establishment .

Would you continue to support a Senator who refuses to support such restrictions ? (Y) (N) Does that also include erecting border barriers such as fencing designed to discourage surrepticious or uncontolled entry ? (Yes) (No)

Should any American citizen which goes overseas to join a foreign entity fighting against the United States (such as ISIS) Be denied re-entry (Y)(N) and their citizenship revoked? (Y) (N) Should that person be charged with treason (Y)(N)

Very Truly Yours For Restoring the value of American citizenship and Conservative Government

Anything but this. The last thing we need to do is hang that kind of millstone around our necks. That would be like inviting a polecat into our national house, so to speak.

The RINOs are firmly in the back pocket of the Chamber of Commerce who want to keep the cheap labor coming.

Jody is my congress critter. This is the first and only thing he has right.

I won’t forget that he voted for Boner and then lied about why in an email to his constituents.

Better step it up Jody or you will be a one term candidate.
