We are overrun by illegal immigration in the United States.
Mexico President to Mexico: MORE WERE GOING FOR MORE!!
" These projections don't take into account the economic impact of the Bush proposal, which would allow untold millions of illegal aliens from Mexico to collect full cash benefits for themselves and their families from their home country -- without having to work the required number of years that law-abiding American citizens must work to be eligible for payouts."
1. Do not exceed the bottom line for allotted number of immigrants entering the US:
Decrease the number of legal immigrants by subtracting the estimated number of illegal immigrants annually. The bottom line is maintained. Both political parties can agree.
2. Amnesties can be handled in the same way at no increase in the size/cost of government:
If ten million illegal immigrants are given amnesty, decrease legal immigration across the board by ten million. Potential immigrants from France, Somolia, Paraguay, Uganda, Holland, Zimbabwe, Haiti, Lappland, etc will have to wait longer or miss out completely. The affected countries can argue it out with the offending countries with little or no US involvement. Both political parties can agree. Lawyers may be the big losers.
3. Border control:
Fast track border control to seriously reduce illegal immigration and minimize the need for future amnesties. If necessary, add a military (guard) component to the Dept. of Homeland Security. To keep down the cost, consider rotating, via detail or TAD, selected active military/reserve/guard units to that agency as necessary under the heading of "border control training". Any additional costs incurred may be offset after implementing Steps 1 and 2 above.
"Remember the stink all the "grassroots conservatives" in the GOP were raising over Clinton's sneak naturalization of about 1 million aliens in 1996 just so they could vote for him?"
Uh huh - I recall Clinton getting into trouble over immigration reform around here.
The shoe isn't seeming to fit this time around. . .
From 1999:
"Recall Davis Committee | 11-9 IMMIGRATION AMNESTY ALERT ! The Recall Davis Committee has just learned from a very reliable source that Bill Clinton is threatening to shut down the government unless the Congress approves amnesty legislation authored by Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill) which would legalize more than 750,000 illegal aliens. This would be a disaster for California. Every amnesty only encourages more illegal immigration. Every ammesty always ignores the fraud which will balloon the original estimates. We must stop rolling amnesty or our state will be lost for sure! Illegal aliens should be arrested and deported, not given a free ride! We urge ..."
