only is it a balanced measure which would allow the ease
of border fence construction, legitimize America's ability
to enforce laws, and set forth identity process in an
organized manner; it will provide a clean-up to the
border cesspool of crime, drug circulation, and tension
at our borders. It is ridiculous to think that the
current "they don't call it Amnesty" process, of 12
million applications will produce the slightest margin
of safety...Please join the groups below...If you agree
with this proposal, speak-out!!! -M.B.
we might still have a chance to support a lawful America!
If you a haven't examined why these new "Amnesty Laws"
are a huge mistake... Read John Hawkins's (Ht: Wizbang)
22 Problems With The Senate's Illegal Immigration Bill
“The solution is to set up a system that will encourage illegal aliens to self-deport and come back legally as guest workers,” Pence, the grandson of an Irish immigrant, says in prepared remarks. “The visa will be issued only outside of the United States. Outside of the United States. That is a key point because it is the provision that will require the 12 million illegal aliens to leave. Now, some of you are thinking to yourselves that 12 million people aren’t going to pack up and leave just to get a visa to come back legally. But, I believe most will.”
The leading Senate plan would allow workers who have been in the country five years to remain as guest workers, on the theory that they have deep ties to their community. Those in the United States two to five years would have to go to a border crossing to apply, and those here less than two years would have to return to their home countries to be considered. Bush has not endorsed particulars, but said in his address to the nation that it makes sense to differentiate between “an illegal immigrant who crossed the border recently, and someone who has worked here for many years, and has a home, a family, and an otherwise clean record.”
Pence, a lawyer and former radio and television host, is chairman of the Republican Study Committee, the caucus of House conservatives, but the group did not offer the plan because it’s split on how to handle immigration overhaul. Pence’s official biography calls him “a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.”
His plan includes all the security measures of the bill that has already passed the House, and adds a provision for guest worker visas would be good for two years. A limited renewal would be available if the worker studied English and passed an English proficiency class. Federal law already has visa categories A through V. “The visas will be referred to as ‘W Visas,’ ” Pence say in his remarks. “No kidding. I think it is obvious whose support we are trying to garner here.”
Pence’s measure would create private worker placement agencies called Ellis Island Centers, licensed by the federal government to match approved guest workers with jobs that cannot be filled by Americans — a variation on an idea offered by Bush back in January 2004. “U.S. employers will engage the private agencies and request guest workers,” Pence says. “In a matter of days, the private agencies will match guest workers with jobs, perform a health screening, fingerprint them and provide the appropriate information to the FBI and Homeland Security so that a background check can be performed, and provide the guest worker with a visa granted by the State Department.”
Bush said Monday in Chicago that he understands the emotions about immigration, and that it is “a tough issue for members to vote on.” He promised that if he disagrees with someone, he is “not going to debase them in the public arena.” The question is how hard he will lean on them in private. And whether an illegal worker will leave the shadows, if they also have to leave the country.
