As you are contacting your senators today, ask them to co sponsor the ENFORCE ACT!

Take the poll on his website: http://inhofe.senate.gov/public/

Do you think that English should be the official language of the United States?

Yes: 88%

No: 13%

Sorry, hit the wrong button before I got it formatted!!

THIS is ‘comprehensive reform’!

Major Provisions in Inhofe’s ENFORCE Act:

· Establishes the National Border Neighborhood Watch (NBNW) Program allowing retired law enforcement officers to assist Border Patrol agents by reporting illegal border crossings.

· Makes unlawful-presence in the United States a felony.

· Establishes an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

· Authorizes funding for online immigration training for state and local law enforcement officers.

· **** Eliminates the practice of granting automatic U.S. citizenship to children born to illegal immigrants in an effort to reduce ‘anchor babies.’******

· Establishes an independent verification system for Social Security numbers; also mandates that immigrant’s Social Security numbers expire when visa runs out.

· Establishes electronic birth & death registries to fight fraudulent Social Security cards

· Helps reduce Individual Taxpayer Identification Number abuse.

· Empowers state & local law enforcement to carryout immigration laws (but does not make it mandatory).

· Establishes penalties for most flagrant employer tax violations—i.e. if an employer willfully files incorrect tax returns, they will be assessed the maximum penalties available.

· Makes it illegal to operate day laborer centers for illegal aliens and to give them unemployment assistance.

· Eliminates in-state tuition benefits for illegal aliens.

[James W. Fannin]

Our nation’s future rests on Congress’ actions of today, and the ENFORCE Act is a strong step in the right direction to help solve our growing problem of illegal immigration.”

He seems to have a glimmer of the future if amnesty passes.

[Baladas]

There Inhofe goes again, making sense. He knows that there’s huge difference between English as an offical language and English as a common language.

I have always liked Senator Inhofe. It appears that he is the only one not drinking Kool Aid these days.

[SolidWood]

No Amnesty! Enforce the laws!

ENFORCE - Engaging the Nation to Fight for Our Right to Control Entry -Act

I love those bill names.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

...Establishes an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Tulsa, Oklahoma...

A bill is just not a bill without a little pork.

[Disambiguator]

Engaging the Nation to Fight for Our Right to Control Entry

We as a nation already have the right to control entry, we're just not exercising it.

[Joe 6-pack]

I agree 100% with what Inhofe is trying to do. Nevertheless, the anchor baby issue will need to be dealt with as a Constitutional Amendment. To read the 14th Amendment like we “want” it to be read, and not as it is actually written puts those of us on the political right on the same intellectual and legal plane as those on the left who like to loosely read the 2nd Amendment.

If we can send Americans to the moon, we can send Mexicans back to Mexico.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Great catch AB!

GO INHOFE GO!

THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL!

[Tarpon]

What about the fence, you know the one that was signed into law in 2006? Any interest in build this? After all, it was approved by about 70% of the House and Senate, sounds bipartisan if you ask me. — It would show intent and display good will, would it not? Not to build it shows exactly what is planned with the comprehensive AMNESTY bill... same as what happened in 1965 and 1986, nothing once AMNESTY was approved.

I am looking at S. 1269 on the THOMAS libraryand I don’t see anything about busting employers. It may not have the current text.

[AmericaOne]

BTTT

[AuntB]

It’s just a few pages, not 1000.....

(a) Short Title- This Act may be cited as the `Engaging the Nation to Fight for Our Right to Control Entry Act’ or the `ENFORCE Act’.

Oklahoma has the two best Senators. Inhofe and Tom Coburn. Oklahoma is Texas without the illegal aliens but with the oil. The black people there are patriotic and with some Indian in them. That’s how it seems to me.

[Old_Mil]

It sounds like a good bill, can anyone think of any “gotchas”? These days I trust the senate about as far as I can spit a watermelon seed.

[nativist]

Time to do to Bush what Congress did to Clinton when they forced him to sign welfare reform. Clinton never wanted to sign that but after a while he had to politically.

Senators and Congressmen will be there long after President Bush is relaxing at the ranch. Keep pressure on them and Bush will either sign or give the Republican nominee something great to run on.

On another note, a major issue in this debate is the way Bush, McCain and Graham tried to sneak, then bully this bill through by using standard liberal tactics against the base. It really was an eye opener. If those Republicans would have addressed our concerns instead of name calling who knows what might have happened.

[libs_kma]

I can’t see why bill after bill after bill has to be passed and they are all ignored! The fence bill was PASSED last year and it has gone nowhere!

[longtermmemmory]

here is the alternative immigration plan.

funny how Reid and Mel Martinez forgot about this during their blame americans rants.
