***Snip**** immigration, Mr. Allen, whose mother emigrated from France, is clear. His take is more like that of a House Republican than a senator. "I don't want to argue anybody's particular bill," he says. "First thing we need to do, and should have done, is [secure] our borders. We needed fences, whether virtual or physical, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground sensors, detention centers. . . . If that's all that can be done, do that now. Don't allow a lack of a consensus [on guest workers or other immigration issues] to prevent what needs to be done."
The President will go with this if this is all he can get. Here is what he said in his 04-08-09 Speech on Immigration.
Frankly I think he should just drop 2 and 3 and leave it for a future Pres. Doing one will be more then sufficient for this year, but that just my opinon.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1611523/posts
*****Snip******
Immigration is an emotional issue and a vitally important one. At its core, immigration is the sign of a confident and successful nation. It says something about our country that people around the world are willing to leave their homes, leave their families, and risk everything to come to America. Their talent, hard work, and love of freedom have helped make America a vibrant, strong Nation. And by reforming our immigration laws to meet the realities of the 21st century, we will ensure that America remains a beacon of liberty for generations to come.
I made clear that a comprehensive immigration reform bill must include three elements:
First, comprehensive immigration reform must secure our borders. Since I took office, we've increased funding for border security by 66 percent, and Federal agents have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering this country illegally, including more than 400,000 with criminal records. To improve security at the border, we're hiring thousands more Border Patrol agents; we're deploying new technologies like infrared cameras and unmanned aerial vehicles to help our agents do their jobs; we're installing physical barriers to entry, like fences in urban areas. We're making good progress, but we have much more work ahead to gain control of our border. I'll continue to work with Congress to strengthen border security, so we can prevent illegal immigrants from crossing our border and make the immigration system more orderly and secure.
Second, comprehensive immigration reform must strengthen the enforcement of our laws in America's interior. Since I took office, we've increased funding for immigration enforcement by 42 percent, increased the number of immigration enforcement agents and criminal investigators, enhanced worksite enforcement, and gone after smugglers, gang members, and human traffickers. A good immigration bill should enhance our ability to stop document fraud and help employers comply with our laws.
Finally, comprehensive immigration reform must include a temporary worker program that relieves pressure on our borders, while rejecting amnesty. A temporary worker program would create a legal way to match willing foreign workers with willing American employers to fill jobs that no American is available to do. By creating a legal channel for those seeking temporary work in America, we would reduce the number of people trying to sneak across the border. This would free up law enforcement officers to focus on criminals, drug dealers, terrorists, and others who mean us harm. A temporary worker program would also improve security by creating tamper-proof identification cards, so we can keep track of every temporary worker who is here on a legal basis and identify those who are not.
A new temporary worker program should not provide amnesty. Granting amnesty would be unfair to those who follow the rules and obey the laws. Amnesty would also be unwise, because it would encourage others to break the law and create new waves of illegal immigration. We must ensure that those who break our laws are not granted an automatic path to citizenship. We should also conduct the debate on immigration reform in a manner worthy of our Nation's best traditions.
To keep the promise of America, we must remain a welcoming society and also enforce the laws that make our freedom possible. As we do, our Nation will draw strength from the diversity of its citizens and unity from their desire to assimilate and become one people. By working together, we can fix our immigration system in a way that protects our country, upholds our laws, and makes our Nation proud.
Thank you for listening.
Thanks!!!!!!!
Human Events
Q. Does America have the engineering capability to build a fence along the border that would keep people out?
SEN. GEORGE ALLEN: Do we have the engineering capability?
Mmmhmm.
ALLEN: I suspect so.
Q. So, this is the follow up, why don’t we?
ALLEN: Because it would be -- I don’t [think] it’s worthy of consideration. ...
Q. Do you support closing the border first before we do guest worker or do you think they go hand-in-hand?
ALLEN: I think you need to do all of them. You need to do all of them. ...
Q. So, guest amnesty, virtual fence and--
ALLEN: I am not for amnesty. Not for amnesty.
Q. Guest worker? Excuse me.
ALLEN: A legal guest-worker program.
And thank you for the "other" information!
Some politicians (I don't know about Allen) have been making statements that imply support on both sides of the issue. I plan to ask my senators point blank - probably will not get an answer.
I don't disagree with that anticipation. Jeff Sessions is one of the most reasonable of all 50 senators, and sufficient numbers of folk may have let Kyl and Cornyn know they'll be watching their Senate votes closely. We Texas "racists" are just hotter than all the burning fires of hell right now . . . Why, I even went on a campaign against Simpson and Mazoli in 1986, so I'm not a new fire ant to the picnic . . . Penny
I'm writing to him too even though he's not my senator.
In fact, I am trying to write to all of them.
One more thing,
Could you post all the contact info for the Democrats too, please?
Those of us who live in states with Dem Senators should still let them know what we think. In fact, even more so, since the Dems are the ones who are the worst on illegal immigration.
Absolutely. Secure the borders FIRST.
Enforcement FIRST.
If illegals (non-citizens) are given amnesty for breaking any of those federal laws, then amnesty should be given for ALL citizens who have broken any of those laws. If not, I think that it would violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. And if more illegals are allowed to come into the country and permitted to break these laws, then citizens should be able to do the same. Whoo Hoo! No more paying taxes! Where do I sign up for my government check? (sarc....just in case the Feds are reading this ;)
