Immigration Solution, you decide? Part 3.

Just off the press, Senator McCain, "we’ll build the fence first and then deal with the other issues".  Yes, he and Senator Kennedy, Obama and Clinton and the rest of the same bunch that has run Washington for years. Yes, the same ones who tell you they will bring change to Washington.  You know to that same old crowd that made this mess and their same old ways. Oh, my gosh, are not these candidates part of that same crowd? Oh, I'm sorry I forgot, it must be those voting and idealists buy anything when packaged right.
 
So, Obama and Hillary for Comprehensive Immigration so what choices do we have when 80% of us say we don’t want it yet we will get it if any of these are elected to office? Well Huckabee has changed his position on the matter and Paul has always been for the fence and against Comprehensive Immigration so if you think about it they are the only choices. So if you feel the same way many do about this issue that never seems to go away or what I have been writing to is what you believe in, or are even upset about, then it is about time you shared the site with others. Don’t expect change unless you make it happen.

In July 2, 2007 I wrote a similar article on another site concerning this very issue and it was received very well. A Guest Worker Plan for all. In fact it was an offshoot of a plan I have submitted much, much earlier to the President, Key Senators and so called Conservative media and press. So in essence here are some excerpts from it and additions. I do believe it falls into line with my earlier articles.

I don’t know how many Americans know this but there are over 6 different worker visa programs already in place accounting for over 600,000 plus workers last year alone. Count the green cards and legal immigration and you have millions every year coming legally and our politicians and government want to add more. In fact the Senator from Tennessee , Mr. Amexander, just today wanted to bring those smart people from India here on Green Cards to help us get us Americans jobs. Rhetrorically, I guess he, our Senator, doesn't think much about Americans now, does he? Hey it is his words and thoughts not mine. Why not ask that of all the displaced American IT workers sitting at home who trained these people to start with?
 
Yes, it really isn't about Green cards it is about unemployed Americans. The failure is that many of these visa persons overstay their visa and do not go home. That's right, they never return to their country of origin and contribute even more to the illegal worker issue. They have secured good jobs, better then many Americans, schooled and trained with our tax doallers, and why would they want to go home? You tell me? So if your one who thinks ther are jobs for anyone who wants one then read my prior articles and see what average Americans can look forward to for jobs. That is we average Americans and you college students and if your not concerned and still want to elect these people then what can one say.
 
So, once again I will repeat, because I do not believe it is honest to call this immigration, I speak to a solution for illegal workers to turn them into legal workers.
I do believe it is an effective working plan to resolve this divisive issue for Americans and assist them as well.  If they want to become citizens then they get in line via the normal existing process and like everyone else. That is after all the existing requests are processed and after they receive their new permit. No, not by force by choice and not in front. It is the only fair way.

We all know by fact that immigration requires you file in the country of origin, you have to have a citizen sponsor who will support you, get you employment and be responsible for you, you pay a fee and you wait your turn. Others who come outside of this requirement have simply broken the law . If they work here they do so off the books or with stolen ID. This is an abuse of those who they have stolen that ID from and those who applied legally and our system of laws. It is as simple and honest as that. It is religiously as well SIN.

This plan, I sincerely believe addresses all the key elements necessary for the American people to accept it without rewards or amnesty.

A Solution for Immigration.

Simply put, the Key is Mexico. Mexico needs to carry their fair share as the prime source of this problem. Mexico and employers who exploit these workers are the root cause that "our" government evidently refuses to or, can't seem to understand or, rhetorically, does not want to. Could it be SPP? So how can we accomplish this? Those applying for work in the United States under this new Visa process [which will eliminate the other current visa programs] will process through the Mexican government or their nation of origin and then us. This will produce sources of identification and control.

1- A background criminal check there and here with related finger printing and other technical identification collection.

2- A new ID card which will serve multiple purposes.

3-They have to come out of the shadows to do this and register first with us, giving them a guarantee of return, then they go home and process through Mexico.

Why? So that any criminals will be weeded out. I believe it may be acceptable to process them through a joint effort here, thus eliminating a trip home and with the cooperation of the Mexican government. Criminals do not pass go and do in fact go directly to jail.

It will produce -

A] Personal Identification for them and their respective immediate family members.

B] International drivers license allowing them to drive in the USA always adhering to our law.

C] Health and auto insurance provided by Mexico that our Hospitals and other Medical care providers and civil authorities can collect from Mexico as guaranteed by that sovereign nation.

D] Taxes paid into our system via the use of this card, SS and Taxes; etc in their name can be attached to them via this number and any benefits from that will be theirs according to the laws we apply for our citizens.

E] If they break the law they lose this identification and cannot work here and are deported.

F] Employers can hire them using this number but they must not be paid below minimum wage and only after all American applicants have been interviewed and rejected via documentation the employment offered was refused. They stay for a defined period of time and then return home. But no more then one year unless it can be substantiated this is a permanent position and there are no Americans who are willing to take the job. This will be verified every year to insure the position is still in effect or until they become citizens via the normal process.

G] Family members can receive a card with the same number as the main recipient with an additional identification symbol for child, wife, etc. It will also allow them to also work legally and use social services. 

H] Social services such as schools and other education and special needs provided by American institutions to be paid for by Mexico. As I stated, this can come in the form of energy credits to the USA for oil, direct funding by Mexico, taxes on these workers, American company contributions but no American Taxpayer dollars.
What has this accomplished?

A] We will all know who and where they are.

B] They will be allowed to work here legally.

C] Mexico is required to pay their fair share and it eliminates the burden on the American Taxpayer.

D] It provides Americans with equal opportunity for those jobs the government claims Americans do not want.

Now here is the kicker. With the DNA and other identification, voice, retina, etc on file in Mexico and the USA you can weed out those arrested quickly or any existing criminals.  Employers who hire these workers will be required to hire them under existing American hour and wage law. If they rent or make housing available it must meet health and safety codes and rent requirements of the area they reside in [no more "I owe my soul to the company store]. If they provide worker paid health insurance this will be paid by the worker like any other American worker. Certainly "Workmens Compensation" is required for injury on the job and unemployment compensation deductions. I suggest the employer pay this just like they do for any other employee.

Now you do not need to spend billions on the fence it can be put it into this project. No card no work will eliminate all but the criminal activity. I sincerely believe it will end this matter ASAP and if you make this offer and get the President of Mexico to commit you can move ahead with this issue behind you. He has been extremely critical of our nation and it is about time he put his money where his mouth is.

I already know this was tossed. However, it is time to provide it to the American people once again and to give it consideration. The problem is Amnesty and enforcement. But above all that is that there is no trust in either. I do believe this erase all the issues and puts us back on the road to confidence and a solution all can live with.
 
Like I said it starts with one. If you like the plan pass the site along so that others can tune  in. Yes, if these politicans who profess change really want change and to put American first and still solve this issue then here is a starting pooint with no amnesty, citizenship and no roundup of illegal workers. In my eye it is a win, win, for all.
