Save this. Send it to your Representative and Senators. Send it to your friends and ask them to do likewise.
Whatever it is called, however tortuously obfuscated, IMMIGRATION REFORM is just a code-word for allowing criminals in this country illegally to become ‘legal’.
Any politician that is for this is an enemy in my book.
Demand your state and federal legislators add one question to welfare applications, EITC forms, healthcare forms, and all other subsidy forms (the list is endless).
THE QUESTION: How many us govt checks is the applicant now cashing? (Please list names on checks and amounts).
Important notation on bottom of forms:
<><> (A) Falsifying us govt applications is a crime.
<><> (B) Taking us govt money under false pretenses is punishable by 5 years or more incarceration.
Saved. This is truly immigration reform.
No matter who's doing it ---farm labor contractors, recruiting agents, or government agents --- offering benefits, entitlements, incentives, subsidies, jobs, education, etc. etc. for people to break the law is as bad as "human trafficking", I think. It IS a form of trafficking, under a different name.
I have seen this posted many times on FR. It is fine as far as it goes, but there are some glaring, important omissions that need to be corrected. Specifically:
40% of the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens came here legally and overstayed their visas. We need a system to track and deport visa overstays. The fence only solves part of the problem.
There is no mention made of reducing legal immigration substantially from our current level of 1.1 million legal, permanent immigrants annually. We have just had the two largest decades of immigration in American history. Over 29 million legal immigrants have entered this country since 1990.
We need to confine chain migration to the nuclear family vice the current extended family policy. There is no way we can "end chain migration." You can't exclude spouses and children. No one would support it.
No mention of the 650,000 guest workers we bring in annually who take American jobs and depress wages.
We should be advocating mandatory e-verify. It is currently voluntary except in AZ, which had its law upheld by SCOTUS.
You need to clarify what you mean by no government benefits. Whom does this apply to and what benefits are you talking about?
De facto amnesty is something McCain, Graham, Rubio, and the rest of the pro-amnesty use to push amnesty. They say that by doing nothing, we have essentially de facto amnesty. There is a big difference between de facto amnesty and real amnesty.
