South Elgin man appearing on CNN to push for deportation of Illinois’ 400,000 illegal aliens

By Tara Malone Daily Herald Staff Writer Posted Saturday, December 31, 2005

Debate surrounding illegal immigration in Illinois that sparked protest in Arlington Heights, packed an American Legion hall in Elgin and emerged as a political hardball in the governor’s race hits prime time this week.

Activist Dan Kairis of South Elgin will appear Monday on CNN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight” program, where he will make the case to deport people living illegally in Illinois — all 400,000 of them.

About 4 percent of the estimated 10.3 million unauthorized workers in the country live in Illinois, according to a report released earlier this year by the Pew Hispanic Center.

Kairis, a member of the Illinois Minuteman Project who helped found the Independence Party of Illinois, contends confiscating homes, cars and possessions of undocumented workers could bankroll their deportation. Illegal immigrants would have four months to leave on their own, according to the party’s platform.

Why not:
1- No anchor babies. No Medicaid for child birth in the USA for undocumented women, pay as you go or don't have a baby here.
2- Every State use the system where the car-tag goes with the driver's license. And to get both, the applicant must show a certified copy of a birth certificate and two other forms of identification. And while they're at it, put a chip in the tag that matches the chip in the drivers license. Big Brother is here for you. If you're not a relative, go home.
3- Enforce the laws that are on the books. I know of a woman here on a TOURIST Passport and Border Crossing Card who has gotten pregnant and expects the USA to pay for her hospital expenses. However, Tourists are classed with Diplomats, and we do not give Medicaid to Diplomats. She is S-O-L and needs to go back to Mexico to have the baby OR the person who sponsored her should be financially responsible for the costs.

Yeah, I know, I'm dreaming again.

Good luck getting even 30% of the vote next election on this platform

For a third party, 30% (even 25%) would be quite astounding.
