So many issues start and end with our immigration
policy or lack of a policy.
I will fight for:
1)
Close down southern border. We have one of the most porous borders
in the world. We can not begin to get a hold on our security
or immigration problems until we have totally secured our border. We
must lock down our southern border to control immigration. Once we
stop or at least massively curtail border crossings we can start with
the reforms needed.
2)
All persons living and or working in the US must be documented.
Start a national ID system and require everyone to show ID to work in
this country. For Citizens this ID will be free or a low cost. Any
person not having ID will not be able to work.
3)
Require all workers and immigrants to get an ID before
crossing. In the current situation many undocumented persons trying to
cross the border, hire coyotes (shady guides) that have no morals and
often will take advantage of the people that have hired them, either
stealing from them or killing them, just to make a buck. This system
must stop. To fill this void we should license companies to perform as
recruiters legally working with our government to address our labor
needs.
4)
Finally for Undocumented persons we should have in place a
system to earn Citizenship by learning English, paying taxes and
paying a fine. Until this process is complete they must not commit any
felonies or they should be deported, first strike and out type of
system. |
