Illegal immigration agenda


Published: Tue, September 6, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m.

Northwest Florida Daily News: Leave it to Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who is known to have an old-fashioned hankering to stamp out illicit drugs, to keep pushing for a solution to yet another problem that’s already well on the road to solving itself.

The problem: illegal immigration.

Scott told The Associated Press he hopes the Legislature will pass a law next year cracking down on illegal immigrants. Lawmakers failed to pass an immigration bill during their last session. The governor’s belief that illegal immigration is a dire threat that requires a statewide remedy is out of step with today’s reality.

Check out this tidbit from the same AP report: “Local law enforcement officers are already allowed to ask the status of immigrants they arrest, but (the immigrants) don’t have to answer. And the Obama administration recently made mandatory its Secure Communities program, which requires local law enforcement officers to check the fingerprints of those they arrest against Department of Homeland Security immigration databases.”

In a July 16 editorial, we noted that Mexico’s declining birth rate and expanding job opportunities, coupled with the stagnant U.S. economy, have slowed the flow of immigrants across the border.

So. Illegal immigration has declined, and local law enforcers already are empowered to quiz immigrants they arrest about their status and check their fingerprints. Yet Scott is still jabbing the immigration panic button and wants more laws on the books.

We’d suggest the governor spend more time trying to repair Florida’s economy. The state’s jobless rate is stuck at 10.7 percent ... despite his promise to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs.

I would suggest that Governor Scott stay with the concept of stopping illegal immigration as it truly does impact national security.

Don't know who the idiot was that wrote this article but if the US does not tackle the illegal (undocumented democrats) problem it will not simply go away by itself. Talk about being ignorant. To actually think it will solve itself shows how brain dead the writer is.

It is a sad situation when states literally have to fight our national government over the illegal problem because the national government does not do it's job.

It's a shame that this presidential candidacy becomes an ugly race of competitiveness over political issues. Rest assured it’s going to get worse, as we move towards the ultimate price of the White House. Many people, who go into politics, join the melee for the good of the country and its people. But many who were initially from the private sector, as being an attorney are just there for monetary gain. Originally many go into politics with great expectations, but are soon frozen in paralysis by the inevitable influence of the lobbyists and special interest groups and their own establishment. Shamefully the commitment to the American people falls away, once they enter the brutal world of Washington. That’s when the retinue of lawmakers slips under the spell of grabbing for dollars to survive the money race in campaign finance. Other countries such as the British Islands has a political system, that runs only for a period of three months, whereas in America in the political underground it is an unceasing Straw polls, caucuses, debates and stump speeches.

Our political system has been badly devalued and doesn't work for the common man or women. In truth the mega-money influences come from the giant corporations, the unions and the endless stream of cash from Pacs lobbyists. Once in years past campaigns was bleeding millions of dollars, the amount expended for this race to the Oval office, will be billions of dollars. This money would be better spent in lowering the debt ceiling, which has just reached 15 Trillion dollars. Already the main contenders are attacking each other on issues that include jobs, the economy and startling as it may seem the incendiary issue of illegal immigration.

The issue of illegal immigration is a very serious issue, which not only affects jobs, but the economy as well. Last year’s appraised the cost of subsidizing a part 20 million or more illegal migrants and immigrants was $113 Billion dollars. This has exposed the federal and State payouts that cover the main expenditures of education, health care and the penal system. This is just a limited assessment by the well known conservative think tank of the "Heritage foundation." The issue of illegal immigration is boiling over between Governor of Texas Rick Perry and Mitt Romney, who must find middle ground on this ugly situation, that grown in intensity over three decades. Rick Perry has a poor D- grading of on this controversial subject that affects us all, then even Mitt Romney also has a poor showing of D-. Neither presidential politician has shown any intensity in fighting the illegal alien invasion.

Whereas, Rep. Michele Bachmann comes first in all Immigration stances, as does the millions of people that have joined the TEA PARTY. Rick Perry doesn't support the fence, separating our country from the unceasing invasion of economic illegal aliens from the South. Perry also opposed a standing military presence along the border, as exactly the same as the Democrats and President Obama. Rep. Romney's speech to the Republican Hispanic National Assembly didn't mention illegal immigration, but carefully exhibited in his speech "that he was great proponent of legal immigration." he also said in his speech, "Our country must do a better job of securing its borders and as president, I will. That means completing construction of a high-tech fence and investing in adequate manpower and resources."

Rick Perry is part of the GOP establishment, a money man of the wealthy elite. We need somebody who understands the American people and the hardship of the recession it's going through right now. Perry also moved Texas legislator, towards a state Dream Act. Both Rep Michele Bachmann and Rep Herman Cain do, as they have the highest grading on illegal immigration. Last week the bull was in the China shop when the IRS revealed that illegal alien families received a rebate of $4.2 Billion dollars, utilizing fraudulent applications in child rebates with thousands not even having paid any taxes. It’s difficult to comprehend the deep seated fraud that surrounds us, especially where illegal immigration is concerned. Learning more about it and the collusion that springs from both political parties, is significantly heavily disguised by the Liberal press and other media.

Remember that the TEA PARTY is about personal responsibility resizing government, and those agencies such as the redundant Dept of Education returned to the empowerment of the States and local communities. Look to reducing the HUD and the Environmental Protection Agency and dissolve them, or merge with other mismanaged agencies. We must have a balanced budget amendment and look into the Federal Reserve entity, and reduce their influence and additionally return our nation to the gold standard. Our government is bulging with unnecessary agencies, that have nothing better to do than throw out in the public sector, more regulations—specially demoralizing small businesses.

Searching the Internet can be difficult, but by turning to "American Patrol" website, the truth and lies are separated in reports, articles and commentary from reliable sources. You will not find the Liberal Huffington Post in American Patrols strips on political intrigues, specifically aimed at the illegal invasion from abroad. You will not find extremist University Professors relaying to us, that the economy will grow if we coddle those who broke our sovereign laws. Another amnesty as the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli bill would be devastating, with not just those who are already here, but the millions who will come under the policy of CHAIN MIGRATION. That too became an uncontrollable issue, as eventually we had to support the older family members, as their original sponsors didn't.

As by Roy Beck stated at the NUMBERSUSA website:

"Let's not get so caught up in bellyaching about this latest outrage on immigration, and then neglect to see that a solution is at hand in Congress this fall. Under the slogan of "No More Obama's Uncle Omars," Speaker of the House Boehner (R-Ohio) should see that H.R. 2164 comes to the House floor for debate, amendments and a vote this month. Then, it should be heard by the Senate. News reports thus far suggest that Uncle Omar in fact has a valid Social Security number that he got long ago perhaps during a short time when he may have been in the country legally. A number of states have admirably passed laws requiring NEW HIRES to be run through E-Verify. These are wonderful first steps that begin to significantly reduce the number of illegal aliens holding jobs in those states."


H.R. 2164 -- at this time is ready for enactment, doing everything that state E-Verify laws performs but also slams shut some rather large gaps, through which many illegal foreigners are able to presently pass. This new bill is the amalgamation of E-Verify and anticipated new strengthened Social Security notification systems, that formulate H.R. 2164 more unbelievably and potent than the current national voluntary E-Verify system or the mandatory E-Verify systems in more than a twelve states.

As an additional deterrent to the act--requiring E-Verify for all new hires, Congressman Lamar Smith’s bill require that the (SSA) Social Security Administration run two systems, that will also seize suspicious employees who possess SS numbers that are conjured-up or don't match a person's name, age or were stolen or connected to expired visas.


This will be a grouping of E-Verify and other projected new SS announcement programs, making H.R. 2164 so incredibly more powerful, than the current national voluntary E-Verify system or the compulsory E-Verify systems that is now enacted in more than a dozen states.

Open-borders fanatics hypocritically condemn the E-Verify system because it doesn't catch ALL illegal aliens and this may be true? However-upgrades on the system will change the circumstances, so with future innovations will improve its capabilities. They are correct that E-Verify program in itself is not nearly enough to take away the jobs magnet. But adding “Secure Communities” on a mandatory basis, can achieve even more muscle to enforcement.

CONGRESS HAS AIDED & ABETTED THE UNCLE OMAR’S FOR 15 YEARS BY REFUSING TO PASS ANY AUTHENTIFICATION LAWS. HERE ARE THREE POINTS TO CONSIDER? 1. I don’t think we would need to much emphasis in E-Verify or Secure Communities, if the federal government issued to every American an official ID card for verification of job hiring, public benefits and especially for voting. Attached to a Immigration law that makes illegal entry—a FELONY.

3. President Obama is to give a speech on Thursday on revitalizing our infrastructure, by repairing bridges and highways? With millions of illegal aliens in construction, through criminal Contractors using cheap labor, is Obama going to enact Rep. Lamar Smith’s bill H.R. 2164? Is the People’s president going to halt this travesty of our laws, by enforcing E-Verify.


“Setting aside all the incompetence (and perhaps more) that caused the federal government to allow Obama Onyango to remain illegally in the country apparently for two decades -- despite deportation orders -- this case should remind everybody in Congress that as long as the Uncle Omars of the world can so easily obtain payroll jobs (and keep them), our country will be full of absconders, fugitives and other illegal aliens.


Since 1996, Congress has turned down the efforts of now-House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) to pass national mandatory verification systems to take away the illegal wages that draw most illegal aliens to this country -- and that enable them to maintain their illegal presence indefinitely”.


We citizens must be most diligent to ensure that the House does not change H.R. 2164 so as to protect the loopholes that people like Uncle Omar have been able to exploit for so long. You can read about the disgusting state of affairs nationwide, by illegal alien drunken drivers using their innocent victims as "road kill." Many have escaped justice by absconding back across the borders. These are not isolated cases that are widespread, where apologists as Governor Patrick of Massachusetts, still denies that illegal aliens are not at fault.


NOW THE PUSH FOR COMMONSENSE ENFORCEMENT MUST BE BACKED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE TEA PARTY WILL BE LEADING THE WAY TO FINALLY CONTAIN THIS OCCUPATION BY ILLEGAL PERSONS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES. IMMIGRATION AS IT ONCE WAS DURING THE 19th CENTURY HAS GONE FOR GOOD, REPLACED BY ECONOMIC INVADERS WHO ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY IN ILLEGAL TAXATION. WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT AMERICAN STATES MUST SUBSIDIZE FOREIGN NATIONALS AND THEIR CHILDREN FROM OTHER COUNTRIES?

Make your calls starting today at every reluctant Senator and House Representative. Tell them you want them to vote for Lamar Smith's sponsorship of H.R. 2164, The Legal Workforce Act, as each party has its own agenda. The Republican establishment agenda is to crush any law which cuts off their access to cheap labor. The Democrats and its Liberal placement, is to gain millions of new voters--LEGAL or ILLEGAL. Start calling because it might be your job on the line, with an estimated 8 million in jobs right now. American blacks have had had a terrible time locating good jobs, with national unemployment hovering around 10 percent and black males unemployment surging to a staggering 17.6 percent, followed closely by Hispanics at around 13.1%, while illegal aliens seem to have held jobs, with 0ver 8 million still hired. Use your mouse and click on the Judicial Watch website and read the disgusting statistics on corruption in Washington and the State where you live?
