Immigration

Currently we have 10 to 11 Million undocumented illegal aliens that exist inside our borders. Immigration reform is necessary to ensure our security, protect our jobs as well as stabilize our economy. We need to reform the current immigration laws that were written in the 1950s to reflect the current threat environment we face today. Some of the solutions needed are listed below:

Secure our Borders - This needs to be the first step to stop the flow of undocumented illegal aliens into our country.

Create a guest worker program - designed to register illegal aliens who wish to work in the United States. This program would provide a needed tax revenue stream and eliminate the financial burden placed on our infrastructure by illegal aliens. This is not a path to citizenship. They need to get in line to start the legal process if that is their desire.

The documentation of the Guest Workers should not create a new huge government bureaucracy. The documentation effort should be contracted out to the private sector and managed with Federal oversight.

Provide illegal aliens with a timeline to become documented guest workers.

Once the timeframe for documentation expires, create and enforce harsh penalties for illegal aliens.

Crackdown on Employers who hire illegal aliens - again stiff penalties, fines and jail time for repeat offenders.

Case by Case amnesty - No law is written that can apply equally to every situation. In cases that make sense and benefit both the US and the person(s) a path to citizenship should be granted.

No credit toward Social Security should be given to persons who entered the country illegally, and paid Social Security taxes with a fraudulently obtained Social Security number.
