Illegal Immigration; My Take On A Solution

I wrote the following letter to then President Bush concerning my thoughts on illegal immigration and one possible solution to consider back in June of 2007, and I believe it has merit today.
It did not even cross my mind to send such a letter to Obama, I mean it should be obvious to all that he wants to legalize TWENTY MILLION illegal aliens, not enforce the rule of law and actually enforce our border and immigration laws.

To: President George Bush

Subject: Immigration

Count me as one American AGAINST President Bush’s Illegal Immigration Amnesty Bill.

I simply cannot believe that the President I voted for is so adamant in his pursuit to grant those in our country illegally; legal status. While in the midst of a global war on Islamic terrorism, our President to date has shown great willingness leave our southern border open for anyone to cross whether they are toting some WMD or not.

Now we have a bill that allows illegal aliens legal status with the new Z Visa. LEGAL STATUS overnight. Even with the obvious outrage in the heartland of America, our PRO Illegal Alien Amnesty President continues to show his true colors. RED AND GREEN.

Our government can’t police current immigration laws, why are we supposed to believe that we will force those here illegally to go home, come back and get a visa and pay a fine. GET REAL. We have upwards of TWENTY MILLION illegal aliens currently in our country! Great job so far!

What is the purpose here; Compassion, Votes, Fear? Probably some of each with a heavy dose of Votes and Fear.

What Republicans in Congress should fear is Conservative backlash if they pass this bill. A bill I might add that was cobbled together under the cover of darkness. Just like so many illegal crossings into our country.

It is my opinion that Conservatives in general desire an immigration process that follows the rule of law. Not a program that allows breaking the law. Further, I don’t believe that conservatives are against immigration, they are against disregarding American Culture and heritage. The current immigration bill is a slap in the face of all Americans here legally.

Want a Solution? Try This Two Page Idea.

  1. Enforce Current immigration laws/maintain current legal immigration procedures.
  2. Secure our Southern Borders
    1. ACCOMPLISH THE ABOVE BEFORE ANY OTHER DEBATE!
  3. Create a Bio-Metric Tamper Proof “Legal Alien Employment Visa” that is only available in the Country of Origin that any potential legal alien worker wishes to migrate from in order to find employment in the United States. This card would have a specific number much like a Social Security Card Number that follows that worker while in our country.
    1. This Workers Visa would only be awarded to individuals that pass a thorough background test.
    2. This Visa would have to become “Validated” with proof of employment within ninety days of entry into the US. If not validated, any immigrant worker would be deported for a period of no less than six months.
    3. This Visa would be eligible for renewal every three years with continuous employment with no need to leave the US. Visa is valid for a maximum of twelve years. Legal Alien Worker must initiate normal Citizenship process before the end of the twelfth year of legal status ends.
    4. This visa does not legalize, nor provide a path to citizenship for any visa holder. Any legal alien wishing to obtain US Citizenship must go through normal channels.
  4. Require all employers to require appropriate proof of citizenship, or legal alien worker status.
  5. Pass tough laws for employers not maintaining proof of legal status of workers.
  6. Enforce laws
  7. Initiate a FLAT TAX workers fee code for Legal Alien Workers (of course a national consumption tax such as the Fair TAX would work better) designed to pay for legal alien workers use of infrastructure, emergency social welfare, education, etc. with no requirement for employer matching taxes. No refunds, no tax forms for legal alien workers.
  8. Specifically state that legal alien workers are not eligible for social security, medi-care, food stamps, or any other legal tax paying citizen social entitlement. If Legal Alien Workers desire social entitlements or other perks of US citizenship, then they must go through normal channels of the immigration process.
  9. Require legal aliens to maintain a legal alien driver’s license, insurance, etc. in order to maintain legal status.
  10. In order for Legal Alien workers to individually own an LLC, Sub Chapter S Corporation, sole proprietorship, or any other private business, they must first initiate and achieve US Citizenship status. Any such entity will be subject to all taxes and fees.
  11. NO CHILD BORN IN THE UNITED STATES TO LEGAL ALIEN WORKERS SHALL BE GRANTED US CITIZENSHIP. However, any legal alien worker that earns US Citizenship through normal immigration processes while in the United States legally would have granted to any offspring born in the United States legal status with no exceptions.
  12. On the one year anniversary of passage of legal alien workers bill, Impose a 50% tax on all fund transfers to Mexico without proof of citizenship or appropriate legal alien workers visa for a period of five years.
  13. Allow SIX MONTHS from initiation of new legal alien workers program before penalties for non compliance begin. (This gives those in our country six full months to go home and apply for legal status, more than enough time for those that want to obtain legal status to do so, and enough time for employers to develop programs for compliance)

It is my opinion that initiating such a program would solve several problems:

1. It would force all aliens here illegally to migrate back to their Country of Origin to apply for a legal workers visa.

2. It would offer a way to track citizens of other countries while in our country.

3. It would secure the Southern Border First.

4. It would resolve the question of amnesty; there is none, but there are also no fines, mass deportations, or harm to those currently working in our country as long as they abide by new legal alien worker status procedures.

5. It would uphold and maintain American Values, Heritage, and Culture.

6. It would not be a sellout to those wanting to award legal status to current illegal aliens currently in our country.

7. I believe that it would satisfy conservative/American values.

8. It would not compromise the value of US citizenship
