Illegal immigration seems to be an issue that has fallen by the wayside in Washington. I wanted to update you on my thoughts on this important issue and tell you what I continue to work for in Congress.
In the past several months, there have been several instances where Sheriffs in the Eighth Congressional District have apprehended illegal aliens, yet they were directed to release the illegal aliens at the behest of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. With anywhere between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens in the United States, the federal government's reluctance to prosecute illegal aliens already in custody is appalling. We must do all we can to enforce the immigration laws already on the books, as well as provide state and local governments the tools they need to assist the federal government with capturing illegal aliens and to assume the compliance of employers with the law.
In an effort to rectify this situation, I want to bring your attention to a bill I have long supported in Congress known as the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act. The CLEAR Act would grant the authority for state and local law enforcement agencies to enforce immigration law, create additional detention facilities to increase the capacity to detain illegal aliens, and create a database of known immigration law violators to better assist law enforcement officers with the apprehension of illegal aliens. The legislation would also deny federal funds to municipalities that act as safe havens for illegal aliens by refusing to check the immigration status of individuals in custody. Unfortunately, this legislation will not see the light of day in the United States Congress because Speaker Pelosi is unwilling to address immigration enforcement legislation.
Please know that I will continue to support legislation aimed at increasing the enforcement of our immigration laws and the removal of illegal aliens already within our borders.

Emerson seeks tougher immigration laws
Eighth District Rep. Jo Ann Emerson's latest newsletter features a call for stronger immigration law:
E-Verify has been under attack by any of the open border organization that represent a list of too many entities, whose only believe system is profit--no matter the consequences to the American labor force, irreversible Overpopulation and a marginalized country. I, personally will fight for it as many other bloggers will, because this foreign occupation must be halted. Some senior politicians under Rep. Gabrielle Gifford (D-AZ) are trying to stop its use, but offering another alternative. This in my mind is just another distraction to impede E-Verify and its growing popularity, throwing in some other new tool abbreviated as NEVA. Yes! E-Verify has been compromised by illegal workers using fake ID, Do you really think that this irregularity cannot be reversed? We have this enforcement tool now and its staying. Bloggers have made sure every American person is aware of it. A number of foreign workers are getting past the verification system. But upgraded, innovation will soon stop all this?
ReplyDeleteE-Verify which--WILL--become permanent application, that will evolve and finally will constitute a fearful computer program to apprehend illegal workers. It will not be undermined by corrupt legislators. The influx of hundreds of thousands more unskilled laborers would impoverish America's unskilled poor even further A growing number of police departments have had a favorable response to the use of the 287 (g) local officer enforcement. But the federal government under powerful politic elites as Sen. Harry Reid, Speaker Pelosi, HMS secretary Napolitano and other suspicious politicians, have made it their business to bring to this country, at least a million moderate legal immigrants a year, with no restrictive way of just importing highly skilled workers. President Obama has made it clear, that he is going to try and pass an Amnesty and--now--having discussions with Sen Chuck Schumer, Sen Lindsey Graham, Rep. Raul M. Grijalva and more who remain hidden.
It seems that its up to individual states to enforce the immigration laws, because the Federal government seems to have lagged way behind. California, a known--SANCTUARY STATE--is overrun with illegal people and currently trying to justify a $20 billion dollar shortfall. Many states have seen the errors of there ways and now realized the implications of underestimating their serious budget crisis, caused by the impact of illegal alien families they are supporting. Arizona, Georgia have taken major steps to enforce immigration regulations on their level of government. California has no such enforcement, in fact they haven't even a program of using a permanent E-Verify. Sacramento has disregarded any immigration laws and now have students and professors in universities complaining of budget cuts, because they are unaware or intentionally silent that money is going to supporting welfare programs for illegal foreigners. Yes! Some illegal families pay some taxes, but it nowhere compares to the siphoning off federal, state and municipal public coffers. STARTING WITH MIDTERM ELECTIONS, I PREDICT ILLEGAL ALIENS RIDICULING OUR BALLOT SYSTEM, SPECIALLY IN CALIFORNIA AND OTHER OVERWHELMED STATES BY VOTING. NO PROOF OF NATIONAL STATUS, IDENTIFICATION IS REQUIRED IN MOST STATES.
ReplyDeleteUnder the shadow of utra-Liberal assembly in Sacramento, these extremist lawmakers have nearly destroyed there home state, by millions of illegal families stealing public welfare. There are those in Washington who would push through an American-Mexican agreement that would allow illegal immigrants access to the Social Security of every worker in our nation. There are those in Washington who have sold their soul to obnoxious business owners for less tangible gifts, so perpetrating the worst crime available of another- BLANKET-Amnesty. Not only would it cause billions of dollars to process those already here, but criminals would not surrender to immigration authorities and yet another call for Immigration reform would bring millions more banging at the gates to be let in? Its almost like their is no difference in national status between an illegal alien and a true citizen and legal resident, because of the status quo who allowed this believe system.
Many of our politicians have committed a capitol offense against the edicts in the US constitution, by allowing monetary corruption in clouding their minds and not stopping generations of illegal immigrants. Republicans are split on the the issue and Democratic with Liberal-extremist leanings think we should share every dollar with indigent foreign nationals. California schools are so overcrowded the children of illegal immigrants are ruining the chances of regular citizens not getting a decent education. We have millions of Americans in our prisons system, so we certainly don't need illegal aliens to house and feed. As usual the open border zealots are screaming , threatening potential court rulings-and perhaps immigration laws against states with a desire to protect their citizens, such as rescinding the instant birthright citizenship law; a verdict once and for all, be explored by the Supreme court?
ReplyDeleteJust as voters in California were cheated because their filing of Proposition 176, intentionally manipulated so as not to reach the highest court. The Public entitlement mentalities, and equally accommodating policies, are propelling the momentum of illegal immigration into this nation. Free health care, education are just part of the equation, that is causing major transference from needed infrastructure repairs and cutting back on social welfare programs for our poor and unemployed. We should vet every entitlement and only allocate to those persons who are legally here in the United states. THE AMERICAN RESISTANCE FOUNDATION has stated on there site THEAMERICANRESISTANCE.dot.com. To confront the powers that would destroy our Republic and our way of life. We recognize that silence is consent. It is our intention to bring together and focus the power of the millions of angry citizens - and the many small groups who will no longer be silenced.
Our nation is being invaded and colonized. As is our duty, We the People will resist.
As American patriots, we are joining to take back an America that has lost the rule of law on which it was founded - a nation that is nearly unrecognizable from only a generation ago. We raise our voices in our common language to demand that our borders be secured, our laws be enforced, and that our Constitution be honored.
