The Real immigration controversy.
Sean Lewis
May 13, 2010
There is a solution to the illegal immigration issue.
It is called enforcing the existing laws, not creating
new ones.
We already have those laws on the books, all Arizona has to do is
enforce them, but that would be targeting the 'wrong' people. The
reality is this is not about actually ending illegal immigration, this
is about LOOKING like they are addressing the problem and giving red
meat to the Fringe Base.
Target the reason immigrants come to the Country,
JOBS.
Penalize those who hire illegal immigrants.
Fine them the first time.
Fine and jail them the second time.
Fine, jail and take away their business the third time.
CITIZENSHIP
Allow those illegal immigrants who are eligible a path
to citizenship.
Only those illegals who have been here 5 years and can prove this.
They can not have a criminal past or had run ins with the law in the
US.
They must pay back taxes or are currently paying taxes.
They must pay a fine for every year they were in the US illegally.
For every year they were in the US is a year they must wait before
becoming a US Citizen.
They must be proficient in the English language at a 6th grade level,
in reading, writing and communication.
CONFORMATION OF STATUS
There needs to be a way to confirm non US citizens as
legal workers. We already have the Green Card system
and this can be expanded to include this new status of
LPR's Lawful Permanent Residence.
BORDER CONTROL
Once the illegals in the US are documented with Green
Cards, it will become difficult for NEW immigrants to
obtain employment, thus ending new illegal immigrants from
attempting to cross the borders. With no new illegals
attempting to enter the Country en mass the issue of law
enforcement along the borders will become easier. It
will be easier to monitor any and all border crossings using
high tech and low tech methods.
SUMMARY
For the immigration issue to be resolved ALL parts of this
process must be enacted as one, for each piece alone
will not be enough to actually do anything accept appease
the anti immigration factions in the US, without actually
solving the immigration issue.
