Immigration Reform Needed Now
The time for immigration reform in Washington is RIGHT NOW!
We cannot permit our borders to remain unprotected from illegals and smugglers and we cannot permit all illegal’s to remain here for free.
Our country is in crisis. Our immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed immediately. I will support and introduce strict immigration reform and demand that Congress act and act now!
I believe we can only give those here illegally limited options for obtaining legal residency and a oath towards citizenship. I will fight to pass legislation that provides the following:
Option 1
Anyone illegally here and has been here less than 10 years must register with INS immediately and leave the country within 120 days to be considered for a re-entry visa and the ability to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship within six months. (This is a good faith process for coming forth about their status).
Option 2
Anyone illegally here who has been here more than 10 years but less than 20 years must register with INS immediately; prove that they have paid their taxes; and demonstrate gainful taxpaying employment, ability to read and write English and a clean record to obtain a legal residency and the right to apply for permanent residency and eventual citizenship. He/she would be allowed three years to fully pay established penalties or fines and extra taxes in order to be granted the right to remain here.
Option 3
Anyone illegally here and has been here more than 20 years must register with INS immediately. These persons may be allowed to stay in the United States. They would be subject to fines and penalties.
All illegal immigrates must be clear and free of all felony criminal charges and drug charges to even be considered for residency.
- Anyone in the United States less than 10 years must apply for residency and leave within 120 days in order to be considered for prompt re-entry. Failure to do so will result in loss of the privilege. Each person must be able to speak and write English on least an 8th grade level. Except in the most compelling situations of humanitarian urgency illegal persons shall not receive public services, assistance or funding other than basic food and shelter until they are returned to their native lands.
This great country is built on immigration. With the exception of Native Americans we are all part of an immigrant family. I do appreciate the contributions that immigrants bring to this Country and I do not want to close the door on honest hardworking decent people who make a contribution to society and are anxious and willing to become honest legal Americans. We cannot, however, tolerate being flooded by people who do not contribute and come only to take from this country, break our laws, live off of welfare and engage in criminal activities
