PART III: SOME DRAFT IMMIGRATION REFORM POINTS

» by TXPoet in: News

 

I was taught that in a discussion of a problem a person should follow up with suggestions for solving that problem. In the last two parts of this series [Part I: The Silent Majority Wants Immigration Reform and Part II: Let's Formulate A Plan (For Immigration Reform)] we discussed the problem and I requested suggestions for some solutions. I now submit for your review and comments a draft plan of points I believe should be included in immigration reform. They are not all inclusive. I attempted to cover the main problem areas that I am aware of in the current law. To reduce the amount of reading I thought about just publishing them over the span of a couple of articles but they are all connected. Then I contemplated giving my rationale of each point but even my eyes started glazing over when that article got too wieldy. So I decided to offer what I have drafted and then in later articles to perhaps discuss the rationale behind them.

  1. Within ten days after the passage of the bill a public announcement will be made via all forms of media stating that illegal immigrants have six months from date of publication to voluntarily leave.
  2. Those that choose to voluntarily leave may register for immigration prior to leaving. This will put them on a priority list for re-immigration providing they meet all legal qualifications of Title 8 USC. Legal immigration will be prioritized by length of time in the US but at no time will exceed normal immigration quotas.
  3. Those eligible may opt to choose military service in lieu of deportation providing they meet all enlistment criteria.
  4. All applicants for immigration must meet the following requirements:

      a. Be of good moral character.

      b. Not previously been ordered to leave the US by an Immigration Judge.

      c. No record of being subsidized by public welfare.

      d. No outstanding Court ordered debts (civil or family court).

      e. They should be able to provide a verifiable work record for the period they claim to have been in the US.

      f. Be free of any physical or mental disorder and behavior associated with the disorder that may pose, or has posed, a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the alien or others.

      g. They must not be a drug abuser or addict (as defined in regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services), nor can they be or have been a drug trafficker.

      h. They must not have committed any acts of terrorism.

      i. They must be prepared to swear an oath of allegiance to the United States of America.

  5. Providing they meet all criteria for naturalization, families with “anchor minors” in public schools maybe granted provisional waivers to remain in the US with temporary green card privileges but must leave the country within six (6) months of the minor child turning 18 years old. After the family has left the country, the natural born Adult (formerly the “anchor child) may file for family immigration in accordance with immigration procedures and quotas.
  6. Those undocumented immigrants who do not choose to leave voluntarily will face forced deportation and will forfeit all rights of legally immigrating in the future.
  7. Those deportees who are relocated forcibly will be fined the transportation costs to their native countries.
  8. Resident Alien Immigration quotas will be established (based on previous years statistics of number of deaths plus number of emigrants minus the number of live births multiplied times 100% plus the average National unemployment percentage).
  9. H1B work visas will be limited to occupations and positions deemed critical need by the Department of Labor. These visas will be subject to annual review. H1B visa holders may apply for permanent resident status after five (5) years of continuous residence without having to return to their country of origin.
  10. H2B work visas will be limited to ten (10) months in any given calendar year. These visa holders will be eligible for a non-resident (international driver’s license).
  11. Children born in the US to H1B or H2B visa holders while working in the US will not be eligible for citizenship.
  12. H1B and H2B visa holders will be provided information on their employment rights in accordance with Labor Laws upon entry to the US.
  13. Law Enforcement agencies in the US will be required to validate immigration status of all arrested persons.
  14. Employers must validate all employees’ rights to work and maintain proof of validation. Failure to validate or to maintain validation will result in fines and forfeitures. These fines and forfeitures will increase 150% will each subsequent violation.
  15. Fiancée and Asylum visas will not affect any annual quotas.

    In the last WWF Survey, there were a number of Web 2.0 needs expressed, and we have been looking at options for meeting as many of those needs as possible. One of the suggestions submitted was to use already existing online programs, to avoid the expense and time of having to "reinvent the wheel" (Thanks, Dr. Bill!).

    In that spirit, we are providing links to two great affordable resources online - One to help with basic computer skills, and one which is a wiki dedicated to Thriving Online, below. FHK is currently focusing specifically on developing social networking courses. Once we have accomplished that, if there is still a need for more focused training in the more technical areas, we may begin working on developing those courses, as we are able.

    We are still looking for online resources for SEO and MMO which are affordable, practical, and preferably operated by right-minded individuals, so if you have suggestions, please let me know.

    Meanwhile, check these out:

    Ed2Go: "The Earthnet Institute is a non-profit research institute. It partnered with Education To Go (Ed2Go), a Division of Thomson Learning, Inc. to offer highly interactive noncredit online continuing education courses that you can take entirely over the Internet. All courses include expert instructors, many of whom are published authors. Online courses are affordable, fast, convenient, and geared just for you. Explore the catalog, Click Now! [Many courses available for $89 each]

    EightWeeks: This is an awesome wiki developed by Leslie Graves and the Lucy Burns Institute, to "help advocates of liberty and markets thrive online." There's an eight-week (hence the name!) "Thriving Online" course, plus a plethora of additional resources for online collaboration. There's a ton of information about wikis, and the program itself is a fantastic model for how a wiki can be used. It is funded by the Lucy Burns Institute, and is free to members. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to me (jennsierra@gmail.com), and I can get you more information, and send you invite.

    Stay tuned for more information about courses we will be offering Conservative Networking Online!
