Can someone ellaborate on Bush's immigration plan?
Answer:
Think about this, Mexico has plenty of oil. Bush is a oil man, Mexico wants American dollars, Illegals send money back to Mexico. Sounds like Bush might have an interest in Mexico.
I wouldn't worry about it buddy. Amnesty for illegal immigrants is going to be a dead stick here soon enough. The cost of what will be lost is too enormous. I think they're beginning to figure this out. Like i said....i wouldn't worry about it.
Basically they want to issue a fine to those here illegally which they can pay over time, and pay back taxes owed (my opinion is they will take that part out) the head of household will return to his/her homeland and begin the proceedings to become legal. They are also going to increase border security, forgive gang bangers (on their word to reform themselves), and perform a background check in 24 Hours, which is hilarious considering they have had to push back the passport requirements with Canada and Mexico until September because of the system being overwhelmed with people trying to get a passport. and they want to do a background check in 24 hours?
Many people see this as an amnesty, and most doubt that illegal immigrants will come forward, pay the fine AND leave the country in order to start the legal process, even many of the pro-illegal immigrant crowd doubt that illegals will voluntarily leave the country in order to fullfil the requirements to become a legal citizen.
Our laws up to this point have not been obeyed or enforced and suddenly we are supposed to believe this will be the magic cure to the illegal immigration issue? How about we start enforcing the laws we already have and save 2.5 trillion dollars, we are still waiting on a wall that was meant to slow the drugs across the border that was signed into bill and money set aside for - the wall was not meant to stop illegals so much as it was meant to stop drugs from crossing the border and still. no wall?...
There is much more to this bill such as increasing the H1B visa's issued for SKILLED labor?? Apparently not only are there jobs Americans won't do but there are jobs Americans can't do? They want to recruit in the math and science fields from other countries instead of developing and protecting our people in those sectors. I have no problem with recruiting our NEEDS but the amount of visa's they want to issue out is just crazy...
When the president determines that the border is under control, then it is instant amnesty for all illegals who can prove that they were in the US before 1/1/07. With a lying scumbag like W. Bush as our presdient, you can be certain that he will certify that the border is secure before he leaves office.
Some problems with the amnesty bill from Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform's http://www.cairco.org
* "All background checks on those applying for amnesty must be completed within 24 hours, although there is no justification why and plenty of reason to suggest that complete background checks can't be done so quickly." (Bill Tucker on Lou Dobbs, CNN, April 22, 2007)
* "Gang members would be given amnesty if they renounce their gang membership. If an illegal alien is arrested in an enforcement raid and might be eligible for amnesty, the government must provide help in applying for the Z visa and release the illegal alien." (Bill Tucker on Lou Dobbs, CNN, April 22, 2007)
* The bill would decrease the length of the border fence to be built from approximately 854 miles authorized in 2006 to approximately 200 miles. (Bill Tucker on Lou Dobbs, CNN, April 22, 2007)
* Under the bill anyone who absconds after being ordered deported will be eligible for amnesty. If they follow the law and follow a judge's deportation order, they will not be eligible for amnesty - so they would not follow the law and leave. (Bill Tucker on Lou Dobbs, CNN, April 22, 2007)
* Illegal aliens are already faced with a $5,000 fine (19 USC 1459 and 19 USC 1433), but this fine is not enforced. The $5,000 fine stipulated in the amnesty bill is simply a service charge to gain dual citizenship (Mexico already gives emigrants dual citizenship) .
* The Z (amnesty) visa could be extended indefinitely for the life of the holder. It is not temporary.
* "If passed, this bill will make taxpayers pay the legal bills for
illegal aliens seeking amnesty." - Ken Boehm, Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), May 22, 2007.
* H1B visas will be doubled from 85,000 to 160,000, thereby
displacing nearly 80,000 American high tech workers annually.
* Under the amnesty, illegal aliens would not have to pay back
taxes. But they would be eligible for earned income tax credit. (Lou Dobbs, CNN, May 23, 2007)
* Once granted amnesty, illegal aliens would not have to learn
English for seven years. (Lou Dobbs, CNN, May 23, 2007)
* The amnesty specifies a "point system" for future legal entry into the U.S. However, this will not fully take effect for eight years. (Lou Dobbs, CNN, May 23, 2007)
* "Section 413 promises U.S. help in getting financial services to Mexico's poor and under-served populations, expanding effort to reduce the transaction costs of remittance flows, helping the Mexican government to strengthen education and job training, and increasing health care access for the poor in Mexico." (Christine Romans on Lou Dobbs, CNN, April 22, 2007)
* "Section 413 asks the U.S. Congress to ramp up the six-year-old bilateral Partnership for Prosperity and highlights the broader North American Security and Prosperity Partnership. " (Christine Romans on Lou Dobbs, CNN, April 22, 2007)
* Over the next 13 years alone, it would increase the current number of legal foreign-born green card holders from about 25 million (who arrived over 75 years) to around 50 million. (NumbersUSA.com)
* Robert Rector, Heritage Foundation, just estimated that this
particular amnesty will cost the American taxpayers 2.3 tp 2.5
trillion-that' s right trillion-dollars!
* ...The White House misleads with its claims that the amnesty recipients won't get welfare benefits. For the first decade or so they are in the United States, the adults can't get means-tested welfare benefits but their children could. And after that first decade, the adults get to partake of the welfare state as well. For the next 40 years, notes Mr. Rector, they are eligible "for every single type" of these welfare benefits."
