Immigration as simple as---

Every nation, including the United States has a right; nay it has an obligation to regulate the influx of immigrants.

The immigrants permitted into a country should be matched to the number of available jobs and further limited to the job skills needed.

Desirable immigrants are those that will obey our laws, meet minimum health requirements, assimilate into society, learn the language, and earn their citizenship. Anything less should be unacceptable.

The nation can and should permit temporary guest status to visitors, students, and guest workers. However, they should be closely monitored and required to leave or be deported upon expiration of their temporary status. Failure to meet any requirement, including notification of movement shall result in deportation. No temporary documents such as a driver’s license should be issued with an expiration date beyond that of the temporary visitor permit.

U. S. Law should be changed so that citizenship is not granted to babies born to someone that is not a legal resident.

In addition to the above, there should be limited numbers of very tightly regulated allowances made for those seeking asylum.

Those caught crossing our borders illegally, or already in the country illegally, should be deported within 24 hours. Repeat offenders should be jailed and then deported.

We are in the current immigration mess because our Presidents and Congress have been unwilling to enforce the Law. All have reneged on their sworn oath to uphold the Law and to protect the U.S.

We don’t need new immigration laws. We need a President and a Congress that will enforce the existing law. All the laws needed to have prevented this crisis are on the books and have been for years. These same laws would, if enforced provide the means to correct the problem.

But no law old or new will change anything until we elect a leadership that will take seriously their sworn obligation to uphold the Law of the Land, including immigration law.

Reliable estimates place the number of undocumented (code speak for illegal) residents in the country at nearly 20 million. Grant them amnesty (legal status if you prefer) and the relatives will bring the number to 30 million.

These people are a burden that the American economy cannot support. They are largely unskilled or low skill workers. Even if they were to begin paying taxes, they will never pay in more than they drain out. Most will, to the determent of our own poor, add a further drain on our welfare system. Estimates are that they will receive $4.4 Trillion more than they will pay in over the next 25 years. This will assure the total collapse of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Across the nation, illegal immigrants are adding tens’s of thousands of children to our public school systems, they are bankrupting hospital emergency rooms, and they account for as many as 25% of the inmates in some prison systems.

As many recent reports have shown, there are several thousand illegal immigrants, mostly from Arab nations, who are here to actually bring harm to America. These must be found.

Another frightening situation is that we are dividing into two America’s, one America speaking English and the other speaking Spanish. History shows that nations so divided eventually resort to civil war to settle differences.

Simply changing their resident status from illegal to legal, as Congress and the White House suggest, does not resolve the crisis.

Perhaps those that say, “We cannot round up and deport such large numbers”, are correct. However, we can encourage many of them to leave on their own.

How do we encourage a mass exodus? Most of the illegal immigrants are here to plunder. They have no desire to assimilate, pay taxes, or become citizens. They are simply here to get all they can and plan to return to their country of origin when this has been accomplished. Making it difficult or impossible to profit from being here will send them home.

First we need to get serious about prosecuting businesses that employ illegal immigrants. Fines should be heavy and in many cases the corporate executives should get jail time. The full power of the IRS should be used on those that employ illegal immigrants to evade taxes and fair wages.

For repeat offenders, the business assets should be seized and sold at auction.

Churches and other tax exempt organization that shelter illegal immigrants should loose their tax exempt status.

If Homeland Security cannot setup and maintain a computer system to track temporary visitors, it should be contracted to private industry who will do it for a fraction of the cost. Schools that fail to keep the proper agency informed as to alien student status should lose all government funding, and alien students should no longer be approved for that school.

States which issue drivers licenses to illegal immigrants should loose all Federal Highway funding. (Pay attention Maryland).

State and Local Police departments which fail to assist in the enforcement of immigration law should be denied Federal assistance.
