Department of Justice Files Denaturalization Complaint Against Diversity Visa Recipient Who Transferred Non-Profit Funds to Specially Designated Global Terrorist

The Department of Justice today filed a complaint to revoke the naturalization of a Sudan native—who entered the United States on an F-1 student visa and gained lawful permanent resident status through the diversity visa lottery program—for violating and conspiring to violate sanctions imposed against Iraq under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), as well as obstructing Internal Revenue laws.

Chain migration is the real target.

And the big one... which needs a few more sane SC justices... is re-visitation of the birthright interpretation of the 14th. It was aimed to free the slaves, not make slaves of the rest of us.

Yup...each and *every* foreigner allowed to settle in the US should be judged *solely* on the benefit that he/she can contribute to the nation.

We will need a new Senate.

The Senators we have only want amnesty for illegal aliens.

Solution to the Illegal Immigration and Voter Fraud problems.
Existing Illegals in US problem can be solved by establishing the procedure for existing Illegals to come out of shadow and register, give those about 1 or 2 years to do so. That would give them working permit – visas, say for 3 years and chance to apply for resident status. Will have to pay taxes and keep registering their whereabouts and employment.
One time exemption – “resident amnesty” to become Resident Alien (not citizen) for those who entered US before, say 2012, others would have to go back and apply from their home country. This is to avoid influx of fresh illegals. It would be humane to give chance to those who are here for longer time, with families, actively involved in American life and not being criminals. This would be gesture and recognition by government for failing of handling the (ID) requirements in the past. Definitely cheaper and more practical than assembling army of overpaid agents to collect and deport all illegals. With upcoming revival of American economy, US can use existing workers versus inefficient procedures to handle fresh workers and immigrants. Criminals, or those illegally crossing more than once, should be deported and barred from future working permits or resident visas.

Government should set up immigration offices in states, staffed with capable people, set up proper procedures and handle applications efficiently. Expanded Motor Vehicle offices can be used as a base for issuing and tracking ID of all temporary aliens and visitors. You got here – you have to register and notify where you are. Everybody has to have proper ID documents.
Employers should be required to employ only workers with valid legal status or working permit. Otherwise heavy fines and penalties. States to enforce the law. There should be no one in the country that has no proper documentation. No “sanctuary cities”!

The situation with illegal immigration was caused by government failure to administer and enforce the proper system, regulations, after President Reagan’s amnesty. Government bureaucracy is responsible for the mess for failing to implement proper issuing of IDs and tracking of residents and visitors, for failure to properly implement the measures to rectify the situation we are in today, when illegals and criminals can kill innocent people, enter country multiple times and hide in “sanctuary cities”.
In the past we have seen government departments being infested by incapable people, cronies of politicians. The result is the horrible inefficiency and problems plaguing our every day’s lives. Waste, mismanagement, cronyism, injustice are causing once great America to slide to mediocracy and socialist hell. There is a need for surgery and cleanup of government bureaucracy, bringing in people with business experience and work ethics, and removing the entrenched bureaucrats. Otherwise, there will be no end to decline of this once great country.
Cleanup the government! Drain the swamp! No excuses for color, minority, sex orientation for hiring incapable workers.

Mandatory ID system.
Everyone on US soil should have proper ID card according to their status. Only people with proper ID allowed to stay in US, hold the job or attend institution and obey the US laws.
No ID? You overstay your permitted time? You will be deported and barred from future entries.
Classes of ID,
could be combined with driver licenses, all required to register their whereabouts:
A. US citizens – issued citizen’s ID card, blue color and US passports if requested, eligible to vote in US elections.
B. Permanent residents – (Resident Aliens) issued or having “green cards” ID card, green color, allowing life time residency. No US passport or voting rights.
C. Temporary students – issued temporary student ID card, yellow color, showing expiration date.
D. Temporary workers – issued temporary worker ID card, orange color, showing expiration date.
E. Visitors – have passports and proper visas, could be issued visitor’s ID card, red color.

F. ???? – as needed

All ID cards have photo, finger print, tracking (Soc. Security) number and personal information allowing quick check of person’s status. Country of origin or previous residence/citizenship code can also be included. Central registry verification available if needed.

Establish the laws that are reasonable and ENFORCE them! Now in the computer age, there is no problem of recording and tracking goods and people. If Amazon and Google can track my package at any time, there should be no problem to track people, their whereabouts, employment, legal status. It is time to issue ID cards besides driver licenses for those that do not drive, after verification of their legal status – citizen, resident alien or temporary worker. Have also verification system, where anyone can verify validity of the ID card if necessary and to avoid forged cards.
Those who illegally entered the US before 2012 can be issued Permanent Resident status and ID, but NEVER allowed to gain citizenship and voting rights as a “punishment”. Their children, born in US can be eligible for citizenship, if no criminal records.
Those who illegally entered the US after say, 2012, should be required to return to home country and apply for legal ID and undergo proper procedure. Those with criminal record, ISIS affiliation and multiple illegal entries need not apply.

Bring the manufacturing back to US – lower the taxes, bring the bright and capable workers, technicians and engineers, build the base for the upcoming technology explosion boom. Use the existing legalized “illegals” base. Fix the bureaucracy; establish ID system and ENFORCE IT!

Simple system of issuing working permits to foreigners:
Is there need for you in US? Have job offered?
Show documentation and apply for it, specify period of employment.
Government OFFICE verifies it (phone call, email) and if legit, issues the visas and/or working permit.
Applicant arrives at the workplace, registers with the OFFICE, works and pays taxes. If needs extension, applies and gets it granted or not. Stays or not.

If there is a need for worker, he can apply for resident status and if demonstrated benefit to US, can apply for citizenship and stay here forever, with family, and contribute to making America Great Again!
I just can’t see why this cannot be implemented. Government screwed up and needs to fix it. Just ask anyone who had to go through the Immigration Dept. “procedures”! Be humane and allow those who are here already (before 2012?) to stay, register, legalize their status HERE within few years, come out of hiding. Cheaper and more practical than trying to catch them all, deport and spend another few years to come back legally. Issue ID cards, register and track whereabouts and status of visitors and temporary workers. Require employers to employ only documented people. After grace period, deport anyone not having proper ID and legalized status.
Border protection, instead of expensive wall, can be implemented by simpler barbed wire fences and automated patrolling by electronic surveillance, drones and having border guards or reservists stationed close to the popular illegal border crossings.
The wall on the border can help, but it is not the SOLUTION to the illegals staying in the US. Tunnels and ladders can help to get around the wall. What is needed is to remove the attraction for people coming into US illegally, staying illegally and working illegally – everyone should have valid ID. No ID or legal status to stay on US soil? Deport and penalize those enabling it. Today’s technology allows to efficiently issue ID cards and to verify and track them.
This will also solve the “racist” voter registration problem. Are you a citizen? Have your citizen’s ID or passport? No problem – you can vote in American elections – one time! Easy to track and put the end to fraudulent ballot stuffing. You don’t have citizen’s ID? You have no right to vote for government to represent or control you. Nothing racist!
Cheaper, logical and humane solution to fix the immigration problem once and for all. Demand it!
