"Border Security and Immigration Reform Act" vs. "Kennedy Release and Amnesty Plan"

BS-IRA vs. KRAP

I'm still undecided which one I like better.

Maybe some of the bright minds on Free Republic can come up with a better moniker for this piece of garbage.

The triggers are meaningless, since the probationary visas go into effect immediately. Besides, who trusts the Secretary of Homeland Security to be honest about certifying anything?

What a shame!

I just Faxed the White House at 202-456-2461. Yesterday I called both senators (Specter and Casey), Faxed Mitch McConnell, John Kyl and a host of others, and e-mailed a bunch more. I plan on doing this every day until we beat this thing.

The ‘No Illegal left behind Act’
Afterall, it is a Bush-Kennedy plan. ;)

Medved was saying yesterday that it’s not amnesty since they have to go home and wait... We can’t deport 12 million, but we can “persuade” them to go home and get at back of line? This is idiocy. The open borders vampires are liars and frauds. This country is gonna turn into North Mexico.

They have to apply for SS benefits first so the DNC can send the proper voter registration forms.

Let's replace the complicated unenforceable KRAP with something short and sweet.

1. Finish the fence.
2. Throw all illegals out. A $10 per head bounty will work just fine to locate the ones the Feds can't find on their own.
3. Let the ones who meet current immigration requirements back in - after they've paid a $1,000 fine and their back taxes.

That's all it takes. A workable solution to a heretofore unsolvable problem.

They can already do that in Calif. by simply submitting their voter registration card when they receive a renewal of their drivers license. The State conveniently includes a voter registration card with every license renewal application.

umgud’s plan;

1. Real border security.
All who are caught forever forfeit the right to ever enter again legally.

2. Tough employer sanctions.
Give employers a way to screen workers without requiring citizens to have national ID’s. SS# verification?

3. Real interior enforcement.
No, we don’t have to round up and deport millions. Just deport them as we run into them.

4. Provide a guest worker program that has to be accessed from the immigrants home country.
This plan should be based on US needs, not alien’s wants.

5. Immigration numbers.
Who comes for a path to citizenship should be chosen based on US needs and immigrant qualifications.

6. Nobody votes without proof of citizenship.

7. Do away with the anchor baby provisions.
Which IMHO are a misiterpretation of the 14th.

If after doing all the above, we don’t have enough people, just let more in thru a screened process.

“· Permanent Bar: Y worker who fails to timely depart is permanently barred from any future immigration benefit.”

chose this at random... What does ‘timely’ mean??!?

Looks more like the
IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY FULL-EMPLOYMENT ACT of ‘07

non-legal residents will plead “stress” from the reg’s, flood the ERs even more... cost us even more tax money. What a disaster...

How does this help us, taxpayers & legal citizens?

Why can’t they simply enforce existing laws?

Are we going to get TAX Amnesty Act of ‘07?

They only have to touch base if they want to apply for a green card. They don’t have to go home at all if they just want a Z visa. And they are guaranteed a return once they do go home. This is more for appearance than anything else. It is a charade. And we must bear in mind that these conditions can be changed by Congress at any time. The Dems can change it once they take control of the WH in 2008.

Title I Title I requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to certify that the triggers are met before the Title IV (Guest Worker) and Title VI (Z visa ) programs can begin, with the exception of probationary status for Z workers and the programs for agricultural workers.

Probationary status. In other words, they are legal as soon as this bitch is signed.

Except they don't, since they can stay here on Z-visas indefinitely.
