Give the illegals amnesty after a 5-year probationary period, whereas if they commit a felony or two misdemeanors they are immediately deported, make them take mandatory TB and other immunizations and HIV tests within 60 days (out of their own pocket), in that 5-year period they must sign up for a digitized, biometric federal ID card and without this card they cannot obtain employment. Must carry automobile insurance. Employers are fined $25,000 a day if the (formerly) illegals don't present this ID at the time of hire. Make English the official language and end bilingual ballots and in taxpayer-funded education, enact a 10% federal surtax on wire transfers, and make them sign a sworn notarized statement that they pledge their allegiance to the U.S. (This will weed out the La Raza groupies and those who really want to stay here and work). There would be no guest-worker programs, none.
After that, immediately dispatch the Army to temporarily defend the border until a 30 foot concrete and steel wall with guardtowers is built. Increase funding, weapons, training, and pay for the Border Patrol, give them shoot-on-sight orders, and enact a 25-year moratorium on all immigration from Latin American nations. SCOTUS would review the citizenship provision in the Constitution to discourage anchor babies.
Because it's time to get real on this issue, FReepers. Bush has his mind made up, he's stubborn, he wants illegals in the country, the globalists, corporate fat-cats, and Rockefellers have hijacked the GOP, and tossing away a vote for the Constitution Party is not an option when the stinking Dems are right around the corner to make the damage even worse. We must continue to advocate for strong border security and do what JimRob says and keep the heat on Republicans - but we must also be realistic that there are illegals here - maybe they're a small percentage but they're here nevertheless - that have been in the U.S. for years and have really worked hard and have raised families. And as I said - the MS-13 gangbangers and La Raza folks would be smoked out and leave on their own because they have no interest in assimilating in America.
Jim, your thoughts...(Cue a possible Zot)....
BUMP
I got a better idea: let's just enforce the old laws and deport these people.
Demand $10,000 fines for business that employ illegal employees.
Demand an end to ALL government benifit$ to illegal aliens. This includes primary/secondary education, college tuition, medicare, medicaid, emergency hospital treatment.
Demand a wall on the southern border first; northern wall second. If entire towns must be relocated, tough tortillas.
End "anchor baby" status for all illegals, retroactive to 1995.
Demand a review of LEGAL immigration with an emphasis on reforming the Immigration Act of 1965. Start with a reduction of the number of visas, etc. allowed from all countries that have not joined the coalition for the liberation of Iraq.
This is a good start. I have more ideas, but I am too tired to think of any more, plus I know what awaits me at work tomorrow. So good night, America.
Review all student visas, as well. If it means automatically excluding ALL students from certain countries, so be it.
I can agree with everything except "shoot on sight". That's where you lose people. (me, at least) I realize that your SN is EEE, but that type of extremism is counter productive.
Once a border is guarded properly, I would simply continue direct deportations as they occur.
Secondly, we return all mail solicitations with similar wording in all red marker to the organization that sent them.
Our representatives are not listening to our phones calls, emails or mail ... maybe their hearing will improve when the money stops rolling in.
Let's enforce the old laws and to he** with making new ones! Deport these people. If the pubbies don't want us voting third party they had better start listening to their voting base and doing what is right! AND what is right is enforcing our laws and giving no one a free ride.
Ditto. I've been sending back all solicitations for money marked : Not 1 penny till the border is secured. No amnesty.
I will now be sending a copy of my donation to the Minuteman border fence project too.
LMAO. what a bunch of gobbledegoop.
They're illegal.
Send them home and build a wall to keep them out.
simple as that.
Ping
I have a better idea, deport them, build a wall, and jail those who hire the illegal aliean criminals.
I agree with you, but I would make the fine $100,000 for each illegal employed. If they can't get a job and they can't get any monetary aid whatsoever, they'll leave on their own, we won't have to deport them.
So, what you are saying is that if the criminals commit more crime, then they will be deported. Huh?
"...must sign up for a digitized, biometric federal ID card and without this card they cannot obtain employment."
Huh? Is the federal government going to give "biometric" card readers to every employer in the U.S. or are we going to have to buy them ourselves? If so, to which pandering political special interest company shall we buy them from?
"...make them sign a sworn notarized statement that they pledge their allegiance to the U.S."
Yeah, that's the one that will make them honest citizens. They are already criminals. I bet that "sworn notarized statement" will be the absolute key to the success of this program. It's not like these criminals lie or anything.
These people are criminals. They will always be criminals because they broke our laws to enter this country ILLEGALLY and have stolen from the citizens through welfare cheating, an underground economy, criminal activities and general crime, the destruction of our national heritage and culture and a whole host of other undesirable things....such as bringing in bedbugs and diseases we had eradicated many years ago...just to mention some.
GET THEM OUT OF HERE...NOW! SIMPLY ENFORCE THE EXISTING LAWS!
A very big old pingety ping and a damn right you are!!
Add a mandatory federal ID swipe card to this. Terrific idea.
