This is *exactly* what is needed. Mexico can't protest that we're doing anything they aren't, and the liberals will have to admit that Mexico is trying to keep out their illegal aliens with force.
Immigration laws imposed and actually enforced by Mexico are fierce compared to ours.
But that is supposed to be a secret.
Man, have you got THAT right!!
Now that is great! Man I can't wait to see how this plays in the liberal mind. I think they might have a real breakdown.
Absolutely Excellent!
Hey, what happened to the NAFTA/TransTexas Corridor thread? Why was it pulled?
ping
It just might cause it!
What is the # assigned to this piece of legislation?
Everyone needs to contact their reps is DC to voice support for this!! Demand that they co-sponsor this!!!
We have got to get their attention on this!!!!
Brilliant move on the part of Representative Linder. Mexico's immigration policies are strictly enforced. I know because I have done consulting work down there.
This sounds very good on first blush. Here's the down-side.
We pass the very laws Mexico has at this time. Ten minutes later Mexico changes it's laws and demands we do the same.
End of bliss.
Screw Mexico. We pass our own laws which close the border and allow a very limited number of guest workers, 500k to 1,000k max. That's not per year. That's in total. No more than 500k to 1,000k at a time period.
We register those new guest workers and expel the rest. I don't advocate we round them up, but we make it tough on employers and refuse to give freebies to illegal aliens from a dead set date. Beyond that they go without unless they can get Mexico to pay for it in Mexico.
H.R.5523 : To align the immigration laws of the United States with the Mexican General Population Act.
Sponsor: Rep Linder, John [GA-7] (introduced 6/6/2006) Cosponsors (1)
Committees: House Judiciary; House Homeland Security
Latest Major Action: 6/6/2006 Referred to House committee. Status: Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Homeland Security, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
What would be even better is another Republican member offer a bill modeled after Senator Reid's 1993 proposal.
Then they can talk about a "compromise" between the two.
THANKS!!
Now... if only the LaME (Liberal Media Establishment) report the idea behind this bill (similar to Mexico's)...
