Immigration

Our government will lock down the borders – North, South, East and West – and keep them that way with our Border Patrol and with the aid of the National Guard and Military Troops, as required. We will set up a policy of issuing worker permits to those who apply and have not committed a crime once they’ve left the country and applied in their home country as determined by who’s next in line.  We need to set up a system from beginning to end that does this  with the same type of technology in the private sector and all verification is the responsibility of that Agency or Private Contracted Co. and not the employer.  This will insure all those given a worker or visitor visa are qualified and this to might be better done in the private sector, with loss of contract if not performed to the standards set.

I will never vote for or support any form of amnesty for anyone who either entered this country illegally or over-stayed a visa as long as I serve the people of the United States of America and this includes Comprehensive Immigration Reform or a Dream Act Policy now in place and supported by both the Dems and GOP, but not me.

Our government will lock down  all our borders and keep them that way with Border Patrol and the aid of National Guard and Military Troops, as required. We’ll also use our technology along with real border walls/fences protecting our borders.

We will set up a policy of issuing worker permits to those who apply and have not committed a crime and are  outside the borders of the United States. Permits will be issued for a period of no less than three and no more than 12 months. The employee must return to their country of origin at the end of the permitted time, and may reapply only if the person hasn’t committed any crime.

All employers will be required to post a bond for each employee, pick them up at a point of entry, and then return them to the immigration department at the same point of entry. Only then will the bond be refunded to the employer. The employer must also provide proof of health and auto insurance for the duration of the the visa issued where applicable, paid for by the employer, before any permits will be issued.

The employer must also inform the immigration department if the employee is absent from work more than two days, not including weekends. At that point the permit is suspended and will only be reinstated when the absence is excused by a doctor’s note. The employer will automatically lose the fronted bond if absence is not reported within 48 hours.

If the holder of the permit is not employed, the temporary worker must be returned to their point of entry within 48 hours of losing their job, if the worker isn’t brought to the point of entry within 48 hrs. when found they will be immediately deported with no opportunity of being issued a permit for at least five years. The worker will also lose any personal property that they may have acquired during their time in theU.S., as a result of violating the law, this provides and incentive for obeying the law.

Any company employing illegals will be fined at least ten times the monies the employee earned and the company will be declared no longer eligible for any government contracts for next five years.

No medical aid will be given to those within our borders illegally other than in a life threatening situation and no benefits of any kind other than to sustain life until deported. All costs of medical aid will be withheld from future assistance given to home country or bill back employer or  insurance co. where possible.

All children born in theU.S.must have at least one parent who is a citizen, or they will not be considered a U.S. Citizen.

There will be no work visas issued by our government as long as our unemployment rate is above 5.5% in general, or more than 4% in any given field. Our main goal is to employ Americans FIRST. At present we are still issuing work visas even while we are above 8% unemployment as of August of 2012. This is a crime against the American worker and our society.

We’ll also begin a program of deporting all illegals beginning with those who have over-stayed visas, and issue a warning that we’ll be doing the same to all, and that if they begin to self-deport, they’ll be able to reapply for work permits, etc. after returning to their Home Country.   However, if we have to remove them, they’ll never be allowed to enter the United States of America again, nor will their descendants. This program will begin simultaneously with the building of a fences/walls and border security.

I believe our elected officials cannot be trusted to build a fence/wall, as it won’t be as easily moved as troops or border patrol officers. They have done it before, and believe they’d do it again. That is why we don’t get a fence protecting our borders – only walls along highways to protect us from noise.
