Agreement Reached on Immigration Reform
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20070517/D8P69IO00.html
It's time Washington hears us all loud and clear. It's time to call and
write your representatives. It's nothing more than amnesty for law breakers.
These illegals that are in our country are sponging off our welfare systems,
collecting benefits, they didn't even pay in to, and costing you in tax dollars.
The politicians want to pass laws to give the illegals your social security
benefits. They didn't even pay in to social security. Some of these people
come in to our country just to be able to collect benefits and send the money
back to their home lands. In some cases this money has reached terrorist.
Our politicians are selling us all out again and giving your country way
at a vary high cost to you! None of us owe these people.
Illegals are costing all of us. Illegals sponging off our tax dollars, and
having our cost of living go up as a result of hospitalization cost, schooling,
law enforcement costs, housing cost, etc. It's no different than having
a bunch of them break in to your house and eat your food, run your telephone
bill up, run your rent up, and spend your money. These people have broken
in to our country. They don't have a right to citizenship. They have a
right to be deported. We need to push this invasion of our country back
now, and we have a right to do that.
There are many of the illegals come in to our country because they are criminals
and can't come in to our country legally. With others, we have no access
to their past criminal records. yet they are in our country, and take our
jobs.
We already have legal immigration, why should we change our law to accommodate
a bunch of law breakers? People are out of work here in the US, letting
a bunch of people flood in to our country and take our jobs is hurting us.
It brings wages down.
This idiot president says nobody wants those jobs. Nobody wants those jobs
because they don't pay well, and they don't pay well because we have illegal
immigrants working those jobs for next to nothing. Nobody is going to pay
$12.00 to $20.00 an hour if they can get an illegal for $5.00 or $6.00 an
hour and not have to pay taxes and benefits. It's nice for the president
and his buddies to have Cooks, nannies, gardeners, landscapers, clothes launders,
fruit pickers, and ranch hands for cheap. How many of you have people like
that working for you cheap? Do you have a ranch hand? It's nice for the
president, the Kennedy's and the Heinz family, but it's cheating WE THE PEOPLE
out of what our parents worked so hard for. It's now a free for all for
foreigners. They are selling us out, giving it all away at our expense and
stealing our American Dream. Enough is enough!
It's time the people that were born here have a say. It's time the people
that were born here have first rights. It's time people and there families
that have payed in to the taxes for years get some support when they are
out of work instead of the foreigners that don't belong here. The illegals
are sucking up the aid and resources. They are pouring in to our country
by the millions, and there is no end in sight. They are a huge burden on
all of us. It has nearly bankrupted some states. We need to get this stopped,
not hand them citizenship. We are going to have a huge flood of people trying
to cross our borders if they reward them with citizenship. With that will
come terrorists.
These politicians are selling us all out for their own selfish political
gain. They are selling off the wealth of the US wholesale to the rest of
the world. They are letting the third world flood in to our country. It
is killing the middle class. It is creating the haves and the have nots.
This has been planned for years by the members of the Trilateral Commission,
The world banks and the CFR. They are intentionally lowering our standard
of living. Their goal is that the elite rich will rule all of us economically.
They want to rule the world.
Were hearing that huge sucking sound here in Michigan. As the auto industry
goes, so does the whole country. In time it will catch up to your state
too. We have around 12% unemployment in my part of Michigan. It's great
that you can buy a two dollar rubber hammer from China, but we are paying
$3.30 plus a gallon for gas. Who thinks this is smart.
Soon you wont have a choice, you will only be able to buy a Cadillac that
is made in China. Everything will be made somewhere else before you know
it. We have unfair trade that is killing manufacturing here in the US.
Who do you think made those deals? Who do you think sold us out? The answer
is the idiot politicians we keep voting in to office. As long as the two
parties keep pointing fingers at each other, they will keep us divided, and
weak! This is how they stay in power! We are being sold out by them right
now. It's time to tell them not to support this bad policy of giving illegals
citizenship. It's time to tell them, that they will be in the unemployment
line if they make this law.
We need to put a moratorium on immigration until we can get control of it.
Somebody said that in 1991-92, but nobody listened. We got 911 as a result
of week policies on immigration. When will we wake up to the truth? A hand
full of British sailors supposedly cross in to Iranian waters and it's a
international incident. Tens of thousands illegally cross our borders a
day and nothing is really done about it. Some people need to get fired from
their jobs, but we just keep voting these people back in to to office to
sell us out.
We need to put unemployed americans back to work. We need to put unemployed
Americans on our borders to guard us. We need to put unemployed americans
to work at our sea ports to check shipping containers, and charge the Chinese
for this service. I'm tired of hearing that we don't have enough people
to handle these kind of problems or tasks. We need to put more americans
to work at our air ports to handle security. There is plenty of work that
would pay a decent wage if we kicked the illegals out of our country. No
more cheap labor for big corporations at all of our expense.
These illegal immigrants they want to make citizens will sway entire states
and parts of the country in future elections. This amnesty will create a
huge voting block. These people will rule our country in a short time.
It would be like adding another state that would always be the deciding vote
in every election in the future. It's a risk we shouldn't take. The majority
of them have come from countries that have corrupt governments. Why do you
think they can never get it together in their countries? I believe we would
end up with the same kind of corrupt government in time if we allow them
to become citizens. We don't owe these people a free ride.
It's time to speak up now or be bulldozed under. Call or write your representatives.
I strongly urge you to take the time now to contact your representative
about this issue. The American dream and your standard of living are about
to be given away buy the politicians. Let them know who will be in the unemployment
line next if they do this. The future of America depends on you now. It's
time to get this stopped! We need to end this free for all here in america
that these politicians have created. Don't let them sell us out!

From the article:
"The proposed agreement would allow illegal immigrants to come forward
and obtain a "Z visa" and - after paying fees and a $5,000 fine -
ultimately get on track for permanent residency, which could take
between eight and 13 years. Heads of household would have to return to
their home countries first."
I don't know if this is the best approach, but it's not exactly a "free
for all" as you claim. There are millions of illegal immigrants
currently living and working in the USA. This plan proposes to charge
them billions of dollars to have a chance to stay here legally.
Many of them already have social security and taxes withheld, and of
course they also pay sales taxes in states that charge sales tax. I
don't know if the statistics will support your implication of an overall
negative economic effect, but I doubt it. I suspect it's more likely to
be a positive effect to have those additional working taxpayers pushing
productivity in the USA. OTOH, the jobs argument does have some merit.
What's your solution, James? And what is the cost of your solution?
Cheers,

Does this bill have anything to do with the ass in the ad on the left hand
side? Is this "illegal ass"? There is a picture of Diane Feinstein in the
article too. Is this Diane's ass and Larry Craig just gave her a
wedgie?....surely not I don't see but one of his hands. where is the other
one?
wait.....what were we talking about?

What in the world makes you think that suddenly these people are going to
start going by the rules now? They didn't go by the rules to begin with!
Clinton passed laws back in the 90s that stated that if illegals didn't
come forward they would be deported and couldn't ever return. These people
payed no attention to it. They've had their chance to do the right thing.
It's time to take this seriously.

James, where do you live? I live in the urban Northeast, in New Haven, CT
and spend a lot of time in NYC. In this part of the country if you like to
eat out in a restaurant, get in a taxi cab, get your house cleaned, or want
to build/refurbish a home, you're dealing with illegal immigrants. And not
just Mexicans, also East Europeans, Egyptians, West Africans, Jamaicans,
and to a lesser degree people from various parts of Asia and the middle east.
It's a fact of life.
On top of that, if an illegal has a child in the US the child is a citizen.
And children of illegals (citizens or not) are legally entitled to attend
public schools. What do we do with the five year old citizen with two 27
year old illegal parents? And what if the kid is in school in the US and
one parent is illegal? We break up the family and send two of them back to
Romania?
Lastly, I'm second, third, and fourth generation American. Ain't no Plymouth
Rock in my family, just a bunch of krauts and micks looking for a better
life. Some of the hardest working people I know are Dominican and Jamaican
immigrants, some illegal, some legal. I don't see why they shouldn't get
their shot at what my grandparents and great grandparents got.

This plan seems to offer citizenship as a reward if they go by the new
rules. As I said, I don't know if this is the best approach.
Generalizations aside, what specific data do you have to support your
criticism?
I'm not going to generalize about "these people" since we're talking
about a diverse group including many who weren't here during earlier times.
> It's time to take this seriously.
Sure. What do you propose?
what is your alternative solution? And what is the cost of your solution?

We have always had immigration. I'm talking about illegal immigrants. They
should not be rewarded with citizenship. It's my opinion that the immigrants
that come here to have babies to gain citizenship should be denied including
the baby. They are using a loop hole, and it cost all of us in the cost
of health care. We get the hospital bill!
I would say that, if that is the status and their in the us, I would grandfather
them in as long as there is no criminal record. If there is, out they go!
They would have to pay for any medical bills they created, so the rest of
us don't have to. If it were up to me that loop hole would be closed, there
would be a date on it!
So if a bunch of people broke in to your house and took over, would that
be Ok with you? Can I come live with you for free? Want to pay for all
my hospital bills?
Just because there are a bunch of illegals in our country right now doesn't
make it right! It's not Ok! They have a path to citizenship they didn't
take it, so now we should reward them??? This country is being flooded,
it's not good for the US. We need to slow down, and enforce our laws on
immigration, not give them amnesty.

The interesting contrast to the Mexican immigration issue is that whole
communities in Mexico are becoming dangerously dependant on income from
family members now in the US - that's bad economics on both ends (money paid
in the US going out; and that money undermining the economic growth within
Mexican communities in terms of work force and business building). They are
also seeing significant population declines. Immigration to us, is
potential disaster to many Mexican communities. This isn't a one way
problem.
Imho, the solution to Mexican immigration (and yes we do need one) is for
Mexico to improve it's own country and work just a bit harder to keep it's
own residents, not by force but by prosperity and pride. The US isn't a
golden egg-laying goose for the world to freely walk in and harvest at will.
No country is. We are, or were, a country with much the same individual
responsibilities of citizenship other countries are built on. However, we
are letting ourselves become the "whatever goes, whatever you like, come at
will" catch basin for the rest of the world. That isn't a good use of our
resources or capabilities as a society. It's irresponsible at best.
Our economy will eventually suffer significantly from our lack of control
over our borders, and we could see other declines as well. Other countries
will feel that impact as well, so it isn't just about the US. And, that
isn't a slight on any nationality - it's just a simple fact of a lack of
definition over what makes one a contributing citizen vs. an under the
radar, uncontrolled cost, or even liability.
Fwiw, I'm part Scotch-Irish and part Cherokee. My family roots go back to
the 1700s (when the Terry brothers first settled here) and before, but we're
all really renting time on this land, regardless of where or when our
families first settled. The issue isn't when we got here, but what we do as
part of this country and society once we get here.
Regards,
Dedric

Why should they be rewarded? They broke in to our country. They gain citizenship
by having babies in our country, we get stuck with the bill. They use loop
holes and under the table employment to stay. They are being aided by our
government and they take our jobs! They've got to go.
"These People" are anybody that is in our country illegally. I have to follow
laws, you have to follow laws, and they get rewarded for breaking our laws???
They need to be deported, and we need a fence and enough americans watch
our borders to keep them out. It will cost less than supporting them. There
are many americans that would volunteer to guard the boarders.
These people can still apply for citizenship legally.

Dedric, I agree with what you said.
The countries they come from are corrupt shit holes. They want to bring
their ways here. They don't want to follow rules, or assimilate. It is
costly, we have to print all government documents in their native language.
It should be a rule that you have to learn the language before you can become
a citizen. Why is it my responsibility to pay for somebody from another
country?
Their countries have just as many natural resources as any where else. Gold,
diamonds, oil, agriculture, tourism, etc. There governments are corrupt.
They will bring that here, and make our country a shit hole too.
They are not going to follow the rules or laws. Granting them rights and
making them citizens sends the wrong message the the whole world. We'll
be flooded and our standard of living will drop. As demand goes up so will
the cost of everything.

I agree that the immigration system is broken.
So now that we have millions of illegal immigrants here, what does it
cost to support them. IOW, subtract the costs you can attribute to
having them here from the taxes they pay and economic growth they
sustain. What's the difference and is it positive or negative?
What would deportation of millions of people cost? What would that do to
the economy? Real estate prices? Existing business that hire them?
Including the US military? What are all the unintended costs?
How long a fence do you want to build? What would a manned xx mile fence
cost to build? To operate per year?
Given all that and whatever I forgot, what is the sum total of the costs
of your plan? I assume we're talking billions here, at least. Is it the
best way to invest that money?
Also, how safe is your plan? Will lives be saved or lost, overall,
compared to other alternatives?
I'm not saying you're wrong or right, I just want to know the facts
behind your plan in order to evaluate it. As adamant as you are on this
issue, I figure you've already gathered the specific data to support the
generalizations.
Then we can better compare it to the bipartisan Senate plan. BTW, one of
the elements of the Senate plan is to weigh citizenship eligibility
toward skills and education rather than family connections. I don't know
if this specifically addresses your "baby" loophole, but it might.
I don't want to be glib about any of this, BTW, it's not an easy problem
from any angle.
Cheers,
-Jamie
