IMMIGRATION REFORM 101

Immigration Reform 101

1)  Set up satellite offices to expedite the process of transitioning illegals into legal citizenship, with all the responsibilities and liabilities of being such.

2) Uphold and enforce preexisting laws.

3) Close and protect all U.S. borders from any illegal entry.

The U.S. should NEVER engage in granting amnesty for any illegal residing here. Instead, the U.S. should give Illegal immigrants the opportunity to:

a) Step forward and be identified without risk of arrest. Employers should assist them.

b) A Sponsor Party, such as their employer, consulate from their mother country, or a union would be required to co-sign and thereon be held accountable for payment of services rendered; including medical and educational. Sponsor party would be held accountable for that one individual, plus any additional individuals (family etc.) connected. Cannot be a State or Federal Government agency.

c) Learn conversational English within one year.

d) File tax report and begin fulfilling tax obligations such as a payment plan for back taxes that may have accrued.

e) Regardless of age, each illegal immigrant must show proof of application for Citizenship, and then get in line.

f)  Verify length of time in U.S. illegally. Anyone who cannot show proof of coming to America before __________ will be deported (forced to leave).

Upon completion of requirements, each applicant would be issued a Citizen Transition card. Card would show proof of U.S. Citizenship application. 

A reasonable amount of time would be allowed to assure processing illegal immigrants, after which any person found without a Citizen Transition card would be deported (forced to leave).

For illegal immigrants, education, learning the English language and how to do things lawfully, is the only real hope for a healthy future for them, and America. For this to fully work there must be participation expectation from their Mother country until they become a U.S. Citizen. 

For each illegal immigrant educated and provided medical care prior to activation of Sponsor Party,  the U.S. deserves compensation, whether through the barter for goods - or real dollars. Example: With countries that are short on money, but have an ample supply of gas, oil, minerals etc., U.S. should barter an exchange of their resources equal to services rendered to illegal immigrant.
