A REAL PLAN? This morning on his radio show, Bill O’Reilly presented his idea for a fair immigration plan. He prefaced his remarks that he believed it to be a plan that most Americans could support. I agree. Every American who reads this "blog" should write their elected representative and the President of the United States and demand that they consider these suggestions and debate their merits. I don't know about you, the reader, but I personally find the ongoing debate and politicizing of this important matter disgusting. I am tired of political positioning. It is time the politicians concentrate on doing the citizens business and leave to the electorate to rate their justification to serve based on the fruits of their labor. From Bill O’Reilly’s web site.“1) secure the southern border with 700, not 300 miles of barrier, double the border patrol and back them up with 10,000 National Guards people. That would effectively shut down human and drug smuggling from Mexico.2) require all illegal aliens in the country right now to register at the post office with Homeland Security. After registering, they would be given a tamper proof ID card, designating their status and their right to work temporarily in the USA. If the illegal aliens do not register, it's a criminal felony. Right now sneaking across the border is a civil action. Remember that. Subjecting the person to immediate deportation or jail time. The criminal penalty goes way up.3) any business that hires an illegal worker who doesn't have a tamper proof ID card faces draconian fines and possible prison time for the executives.4) Each illegal alien would have his case reviewed by federal authorities. And they would decide who would receive a Z-visa to stay and who would not. That takes the blanket amnesty, something many American hate, off the table. It also allows the feds to make rational decisions about who's helping America and who isn't.Under that banner, no illegal alien who commits a crime while here would be allowed to stay. Also under that program, no welfare of any kind would be paid to folks here illegally. They'd have to work for their living.” Thank you Bill O’Reilly. It is good to know that someone in America is actually thinking.
