INHOFE INTRODUCES IMMIGRATION BILL

A bump for Senator Inofe’s reelection. He’s one of the few that deserves it.

[EternalVigilance]

Make that Senator Inhofe. Doh...

[puppypusher]

If Inhoff managed to get a third of the bills provisions enacted I would support him in a New York minute. That’s what I want too see in a Senator a set of Gonads that will stand up for the American people and our way of life.

A way of life which will be very much endangered if this Shamnesty program becomes law.

[B Knotts]

This doesn’t go as far as some of us would like, but it would be a good start, and is a reasonable compromise.

What a terrific bill... common-sense conservatism at its finest! We need a couple dozen more CONSERVATIVE Republican Senators just like him!

I can’t wait to see Lindsey Graham and others challenged in ‘08 primaries.

The simplest solutions work best.

There's the argument that locating and rounding up the illegals can't be done. It can......the records are held by the IRS. In addition to being in the country illegally, we can tack on Falsification or theft of identity, mail fraud and any number of RICCO act violations. Scofflaws and Outlaws needn't be afforded protection by congressional edict which in its nature violates Equal Protection in the constitution.

I think one of the more effective ways of preventing hiring of illegals is the use of a Social Security Number database. If your number and personal data don’t match the database you have to be looked at. Have it where anyone could check the correctness of their own data and you prevent most of the mistakes. The beauty of such of system is that if you are an illegal alien you won’t have a Social Security number.

No Welfare, No Schooling, No Long Term Health care.

[Suzy Quzy]

DITTO!!!! Why does it have to be any more complicated?

Senator Kyl: NEVER co-sign a bill with Kennedy....YOU WILL BE DIRTIED!

[Dad yer funny]

FR *bookmark*

[sheana]

Since Bush, McCain, Kyl, etc keep saying that we are offering up no remedies since we despise their bill...I say send them this.
I will email every senator with this solution.
Thanks!

I like much of the proposed bill, but it needs to strengthend further, the employer sanctions--large fines in the first violation and a felony in the second violation.

BTTT! This is good.

[Stultis]

I’ve been trying to get people to pay attention to the legislation

Good luck. It appears far too late for that. FR past that point weeks, if not months, ago. Now all that's expected, or wanted, is to shout slogans and shout down anyone who offers more.

PERFECT!!

Welcome back - I for one am glad to see you posting again. It seems rather ironic that a site supposedly begun because this one suppressed differing opinions is unables to tolerate any themselves.

Here’ MY bill:

1. Build a long, strong, effective fence.
2. Increase border patrols and assure that agents have real enforcment power. (No “catch and release”, etc.)
3. DENY illegal aliens access to any government services, including schools. Require mandatory, automatic deportation of any illegal alien who ATTEMPTS to ACCESS any government service, whether such service is federal, state, or local. (Note: The only exception would be dire-emergency medical treatment, followed immediately [after sufficient recovery time] by mandatory, automatic deportation.)
4. REQUIRE a MANDATORY JAIL sentence for any illegal alien found to be holding fraudulent identification, followed by mandatory, automatic deportation. (Note: Lengthier jail sentences would be MANDATORY for the “identity theft” of living American citizens.)
5. Require fines and criminal proceedings against any employer (including company officers and responsible hiring personnel) who knowingly hires and employs illegal aliens.
6. “Anchor babies” (babies born to illegal alien parents) are to be DENIED citizenship, and are to be immediately deported along with their parents. (Note: This provision should be made retroactive, say, sixteen years.)
7. Any law enforcement officer (federal, state, or local) who, in the course of normal law enforement activity, becomes aware of an illegal alien’s status is REQUIRED to notify the appropriate federal authorities immediately and hold that alien in custody for no more than three days (sufficient time for federal authorities to take custody).

(Note: Jail sentences for any illegal alien criminality noted above must be MANDATORY MINIMUM sentences in order to avoid “end runs” by liberal activist Democrat judges.)

The above seven provisions, if passed, will fully resolve the illegal alien problem. Illegals will disappear BY ATTRITION since they will be: a) unemployable, b) unable to access government welfare and other services, and c) unable to enroll their illegal alien children in government schools. Many, if not most, illegal aliens will return to their countries of origin voluntarily since there is little reason for them to remain in the US.

(Note: No logistically burdensome and expensive “roundup” of 12 million-plus illegal aliens is required, recommended, or even necessary. Therefore, the “red herring” argument against tough measures can be dismissed out of hand.)

Meanwhile, reasonable LEGAL immigration laws should be streamlined, strengthened, and ENFORCED in order to address the legitimate needs of employers.
____________________________________________________

Inhofe’s bill is a good one. It looks like the only things he missed were preventing illegal aliens from having access to government schools, health care, and other government handouts.

Looks good to me.
