But Tom Can't Win! (TM)
De facto amnesty. Two-faced Arnold strikes again.
Immigration has been the engine of California's economic prosperity and the richness of our culture.
"...the richness of our culture"?
Riiiiight! I not only live in a country with millions of foreign nationals who believe that they are above the law, I also live in a country where the government agrees with the law-breaking foreign nationals. That ain't my idea of "cultural richness".
Hell, that's the law.
Seek reimbursement from Washington for health care and education costs associated with illegal immigration.
Collect it from Mexico not US tax payers.
LOL!!
They'll call it "amnistia."
It is not important to ensure that new immigrants enter California the legal way. No matter how they enter, we need their votes so and will get on a path toward fully participating in Kalifornistan's electoral process. And we should give token attention to important national security protections.
Full Policy:
There are approximately 8 million illegal criminals in the United States; over 2.5 million hide out in Kalifornistan. The costs of providing social services to these individuals and incarcerating illegal immigrants is staggering - easily exceeding $3 billion a year, but it's neccessary for "the children"
Clearly, the federal government must do a much better job of enforcing the security of our borders, especially in the aftermath of 9/11. But they won't do that, because RINOs like me need the immigrant vote. Instead, Washington must provide more taxpayers money to Kalifornia so will have enough funds to make sure illegal criminals live safe and comfortably in Kaliforistan and get all the benefits of citizenship. And Washington should immediately give all those illegal criminals full amnesty, like George W. Bush has proposed. Then we can give them drivers licenses and other goodies without looking like idiots.
As someone who came to the United States thirty-five years ago looking for American babes, I understand the challenges immigrants face from bad ol' "rule of law" issues and I will work hard to elevate the eliminate that pesky problem.
Fair Reimbursement for Illegal Immigration Costs
Pandering to illegal Immigration is a national responsibility and Kalifornistan should not be left to shoulder the massive burden of providing freebies for illegal immigrants.
Last year, California only received a mere $220,000,000 million to offset the costs of helping illegal immigrants. This is insufficient, and as governor of California, I will work with RINOs, President Bush, and the liberal Governors of other former conservative states (now turning socialist due to illegal immigrantion) to make sure we sepnd at least three billion to help illegals. Did I mension I am a "fiscal conservative"?
As Governor I will: Organize a coalition of states most impacted by immigrat votes to lobby Congress. This coalition will include other RINO and Liberal Governors from states like New York, New Mexico, Arizona, Illinois, in addition to Kalifornistan. Together, we represent 183 electoral votes, 165 of them from districts that wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the "benefits" of open immigration. If we speak with a unified voice for amnesty, Republicans and Democrats in Washington will listen.
Seek BIG $$$ from Washington for health care and education costs needed with illegal immigration. Putting Immigrants on a Path toward Blanket Amnesty.
It is not important to ensure that any immigrants enter Kalifornistan the right way. In any event, they can get on a path toward fully benefiting from Kalifornistan's budget and programs.
As Governor, I will:
Aggressively lobby Washington to set a date for amnesty that will give citizneship to all the illegal aliens currently in the United States.
Deportation is not an option. Only right-wing crazies support that. We need to find a amensty to legitimize these criminalsand get them on a path toward legal voting status in the United States. Especially the children!
Let me be clear: I support an amnesty program. I really don't care that the last time we tried that in the late 80s it didn't work, and that there's little reason to think it would work now.
I am encouraged by the approach laid out by my fellow RINO Senator McCain to provide a clear path for legitimizing illegal criminals who currently live their lives in the shadows. McCain's bill S 1461 - The Border Security and Immigration Act of 2003, provides amnesty without calling it amnesty. I love it!
A new H-4A visa for illegal immigrants seeking employment with no protections for American citizens ensures that immigrant workers are not deported and that Kalifornistan citizens are displaced by unscrupulous employers,
A new H-4B visa for Illegal immigrants who entered the country before August 2003, have held a job at 20 cents an hour wages since that time, and have a criminal record since they entered ILLEGALLY to begin with.
The opportunity of the holders of these new visas to gain free citizenship! JUST CALL 1-800-JOINARNOLD and pledge a "suggested donation" now!
" Senator McCain's plan contains the key principles that should guide any proposal to help the illegal immigration impasse:
Forign Employer Benefits: A market driven employment process and an easy, effective means to give 'em employment eligibility;
Foriegn Worker Protections: Initial availability of jobs that U.S. workers would normally have and periodic review to ensure that U.S. workers are displaced;
Foreign Worker Protections: Applicability of all U.S. labor standards and portability so that workers may change jobs without ever having to obey the rules and jeopardizing their immigration status.
Not Punish Immigrant Smugglers and Human Traffickers
Human traffickers and smugglers exploit and endanger poor illegal immigrants as they violate our criminal and immigration laws. As Governor, I will fight hard only against crack smuggling and not criminal smuggling:
Traffickers and smugglers should be censured by Congress and have to say they are really sorry and will never do it again. If their schemes result in death of potential illegal immigrant voters, they should be eligible for the death penalty. That is, unless I act like my fellow RINO George Ryan and suddenly "change my mind" about this pledge.
The federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2001 establishes a special visa, the T-visa, for illegal immigrants who assist in investigations. As governor, I will order state law enforcement officials to work with their federal counterparts to prioritize and process applications for T-visas expeditiously.
Promote Spanish and Advance Citizenship
Immigrants who are not proficient in English are all over this state. We import 'em like crazy. They earn 17% less than immigrants of similar backgrounds, experience, and education who are proficient in English. In June 1998, California's voters gave a 61% landslide to Proposition 227 outlawing bilingual education. Clearly, Kalifornistan voters are right-wing crazies.
As Kalifornistans bounded in diversity (except for diverse political views-- note that every candidate for governor other than Tom McClintock has the SAME views), we don't share a common language and culture. I really wish we would, but that might make my potential voters MAD if they have to learn English.
As Governor, I will:
Work to improve education for all Californians, especially illegal aliens that want to go to college here, and especially to help new illegal immigrants learn how to get into college here.
Elimate the meaning of amnesty, so that all Illegals, new and old, share the same commitment to tolerance, equality, and compassion, and gullible voters think letting them stay here forever is "not amnesty"
Work with the federal government to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants who call 1-800-JOINARNOLD and pledge a "suggested donation" now.
SB 60 - Driver's Licenses for Illegal Immigrants
I am an immigrant. I waited for ten years to get my American citizenship. It sucked. And I know first-hand how legal immigrants who come to this country and obey the laws have struggled to achieve their dreams.
But we should invite fraud and undermine law enforcement. Attorney General Bill Lockyer, a fellow liberal, has expressed security concerns over this the driver's licenses measure. At a time of heightened national security, undermineing this principle could result in me losing the election. Therefore, I will take the same stance on the issue Gray Davis took in 1998. It is not safe to grant free driver's liceses until I am AT LEAST a two-term incumbant.
It is irrelevan though, because Governor Davis already signed SB 60 into law. Under SB 60, there is simply no way to verify that a drivers' license applicant is actually who he says he is or whether he is a criminal or fugitive from justice.
As Governor I will:
Continue to say I will repeal SB 60 as quickly as possible.
Wait for the courts to void it like they did Prop. 187.
Bring SB 60 back around 2007 or so. It's for the children!
No, Arnold, let me be clear. "legitimizing" illegal aliens in the United States is...listen closely...amnesty.
What a freakin' idiot. California deserves the musclehead.
I don't think any (R)nold supporters should criticize non-Californians for influencing votes by speaking out.
Arnold wants a federal bail-out. I want no part of it.
