Immigration; where do we go next?

perquiaga 1 post Nov 07, 2007 8:47 PM

The President and our legislators in Washington should finally see that what they envision as “Immigration Reform” is not what the “Citizens” of the United States demand! But do they see this? It would appear that they do not. It would appear that they are completely ignorant to the desires of the citizens and to the consequences associated with allowing the current immigration processes to remain status quo. Citizens are sick and tired of the problems created by our complacent and incompetent officials in Washington. This goes beyond Illegal Immigration and Amnesty. It’s time that we systematically look at what must be done to fulfill the citizens wishes. This is also an issue about reckless importing of goods from other countries that pose serious threats to our health and economy! Our dependency on cheap labor, cheap product, and cheap food will inevitably result with the end of a society that our forefathers fought hard to create, and our citizens have fought hard, and died for, to defend. We have become spoiled – dependant on others to labor for our fruits. If Washington blatantly chooses to ignore the wishes of the people, then the people will have no choice but to take matters into their own hands! This is a basic outline of what need to be accomplished, for OUR nation to survive: 1) A 3 year mandatory minimum prison sentence and $50,000 fine, for each occurrence; hiring of, engaging for day labor and/or domestic help of, renting to, providing health care to, etc. Illegal immigrants (SEVERE Penalties for ANYONE caught aiding or abetting an illegal. Prison is the only answer!) 2) Deny citizenship to any person born of an illegal alien after 1986. (Unless they can prove their worth to the U.S.!) Many illegals enter the U.S. for the sole purpose of having the children born here (Anchor Babies). Additionally, one of the big arguments FOR AMNESTY is; if we deport the illegals - What do we do with the kids? 3) We should have a maximum immigrant entry of a specific number. (Maybe 60,000 to 120,000 per year!) 4) The entries should be country specific: (i.e. 2000 from Russia, 2000 from England, 2000 from Mexico, etc.) Whatever numbers we incorporate, we need to stick to our guns. 5) Pass the law that English is the national language of the United States. 6) Immigrants should have a basic command of English before entering the U.S. then is required to be fluent in reading and writing in 2 years - otherwise they are sent back! 7) Immigrant applicants must prove that they bring a skill, craft, education, or intellectual asset to our country, for which we have a current and immediate need. (Not basic and cheap labor!) 8) Immigrant applicants must have a five-year plan towards citizenship, with annual progress reviews. (This could be incorporated into our Community College systems.) 9) Immigrants must have succeeded in obtaining citizenship within those five years - otherwise they're sent back! 10) Any non-violent crime (Misdemeanor, Gross Misdemeanor or Felony) committed, prior to obtaining citizenship, would result in immediate deportation! Any violent crime would result in deportation after serving their prison sentence. 11) Secure our borders and coastlines via fences, electronic surveillance, buffer zones, and aerial surveillance. Use US Border Patrol, National Guard, and Military resources to man and patrol the borders. (If we look at history - I think we'll find that a fence never works unless the area protected has a greater force than the aggressor - The fence slows them, so we can catch them!) 12) Draw back from importing from other countries unless U.S. Inspectors can assure us, through on site inspections, that the food and goods being imported are safe, and of sufficient quality. (Allowing U.S. Companies to manufacture outside our country is costing citizens jobs and encouraging the sale of inferior products to consumers. Importing from foreign countries is doing the same and causing competition for those companies that hold true to the American ideologies, creating a risk to our security by imposing strategic dependency on current and/or future enemies, and placing foreign countries in a position wherein they can systematically poison our food supply and damage our economy!) 13) Provide FULL APPROPRIATIONS, and commit required MANPOWER to achieve and sustain these goals! 14) We should be setting higher standards for ourselves for global warming, pollution, fossil fuel consumption, etc. than any other country. (We should be setting the world standard.) We should refuse to trade or conduct business with any country that refuses to meet our standards. We should be a leader THE in Solar, Wind, and Nuclear Energy generation. The BASICS are outlined here. It will be a long, hard, and complex struggle to save our nation! Is our nation worth the hard work and sweat which will be required to preserve what has already cost much? Or do we choose to give it all away without a battle? If we choose to fight – our choices at the voting polls are where the fight begins. From national issues such as immigration, environment, and public health to the local issues such as who will best lead our community towards economic revitalization and who can best lead our community out of the amphibole asbestos dilemma!

April 28, 2010 The Honorable Jan Brewer Governor of Arizona 1700 West Washington Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Honorable Governor Jan Brewer, I commend your actions regarding illegal immigration! You have taken bold action that will, if not reversed, help to save the state of Arizona. I was born in Nevada, spent most of my life in Las Vegas, and then moved to Southern California. This allows me to understand the problems that Arizona faces. These problems are one of the reasons I've moved to Montana. Sadly, these problems exist here also - although on a much smaller scale. Your actions will help Arizona economically, your actions will help to prevent crime, drug trafficking, the potential spread of disease, the socio/economic burden born by Arizona Citizens to pay (through taxes) the cost of medical care and other social services that illegal’s have no right to. I hope that Governors Office and Arizona will continue to fight the objections and resistance to your efforts, and encourage the rest of our country to follow your lead. I hope the people of Arizona, that may see temporary economic setbacks as a result of boycotts, will see that in the long term the people will be better off financially. Arizona will be a much stronger state. I would like a copy of your new law so I can consider submitting similar legislation in Montana. Thank you, Phillip Erquiaga Libby, Montana 59923 www.EaglesVoice.com
