Workable Immigration Plan

This is the contents of an e-mail I wrote in May, 2006, with a very common-sense approach to the problems we are having with the illegal aliens invading our nation. Unfortunately, there has not been much improvement since then. Thus, this is still very relevant.

The wimpiness (or is it ignorance) of the U.S. Senate really gets my blood boiling; I need a dozen rolls of duct tape to keep the parts of my head together. I cannot believe how easily these supposed intelligent elites are swayed and influenced against the will of the great majority of their constituencies by the lies of the leftists. What is happening is nothing short of an invasion and conquest using ILLEGALs as the weapon. This is not about the jobs that Americans will not do; it is about the wages Americans will not take.

While I believe in President Bush and voted for him twice, he and the Senate are flat out wrong on this issue. They, like many others, has been brainwashed by the lies, and half-truths of the leftists (including the liberal mainstream media, Hollywood, and the other lefties). The effect on the economy by having the ILLEGALs here is negative, inasmuch as it is estimated that the cost of welfare, free medical care, extra schooling, etc., amounts to no less than $65 BILLION each year. As a result of the excess cost of dealing with the problems created by the ILLEGALS, hospitals have been forced to close, communities are going bankrupt, private property is being destroyed and stolen, etc. Neither Bush nor the Senate have admitted what the real problem is.

We need to get a handle on the real problem, first. The problem, which has not been widely admitted, is that are borders are not secure, and that we are being invaded. Having a comprehensive immigration plan is a noble idea, but pushing for it without securing the borders and stopping the invasion, is like the snake they recently found in the Everglades that tried to swallow the alligator; they both died. This is my plan for solving the real problem: the invasion of ILLEGALs.

Part 1: BUILD THE WALL, NOW!!!!! STOP THE INVASION, FIRST!!!! Do whatever it takes and spend whatever it takes to stop the flow of humanity from crossing the border.

Part 2 of Mark's Plan to solve the invasion of the ILLEGALs: send the military just on the other side of the Rio Grande, take a piece of property, fence it in and call it Guantanamo, Mexico. Then, when we catch the ILLEGALs coming across our border, they are taken to G'itmo, Mex and dropped off. Let Amnesty International, the leftists in the Catholic Church, and the rest of the leftist weenies in the world community deal with feeding, etc., since they are so concerned about their welfare. Of course, the U.S. will pay Mexico a very few pesos for the wasteland we use to house the ILLEGALs. We will respect Mexico enough to compensate them for what the land is worth. (Of course, once we set up G'itmo, Mex, the value of the land will probably rise, immediately.) Make sure that no one can exit G'itmo, Mexico to the north. But, leave the south gates wide open for everyone to exit into Mexico.

Part 3 of Mark's Plan: make crossing the border a Felony. Make assisting or hiring any ILLEGAL a felony. Enforce these laws strictly, with huge fines and hard time in prison. In fact, the abettors could be imprisoned in G'itmo, Mex along with the ILLEGALs they abetted. The last time I looked at the criminal laws, abetting a criminal in a criminal act and conspiring to commit a crime are crimes and are punishable similarly to the main crime. What makes this situation any different than conspiring to commit murder or aiding and abetting in the escape of a murderer?

Part 4 of Mark's Plan: Make it a crime for any city, state, county, etc. to establish itself as a sanctuary for ILLEGALs. Any governmental entity and the state that allows the governmental subdivision to try or continue to maintain a sanctuary will have all Federal Tax money cut off. If necessary declare martial law in those places and send in the National Guard to keep the peace. This is a Federal Issue; not a state issue. Therefore, the Federal Government should preempt the states, cities, etc., and exercise the Federal power, here.

Part 5 of Mark's Plan: No welfare benefits, no free school, no medical care, no special teaching in Spanish, etc., for anyone who cannot prove that they are a citizen or here legally.

Part 6 of Mark's Plan: All law enforcement agencies will check legal status, and if an ILLEGAL is discovered, that ILLEGAL is taken into custody and immediately sent to G'itmo, Mex. Make it a crime for any city, state, county, etc., to prohibit law enforcement from enforcing the law regarding ILLEGAL immigration. The violating governmental entities will have their Federal Tax Funding and Grants stopped, immediately. And, if necessary, Part 4 of Mark's Plan will go into effect.

Part 7 of Mark's Plan: No more "anchor" babies. No child born in the U.S. can become a citizen unless the mother is a citizen. This will immediately stop the flow of these pregnant women coming across our borders to give birth. This would also help the hospitals because it will drastically reduce the numbers of ILLEGALs using the hospital ERs for their pre-natal and gynecological medical care. Further, no more allowances for family members to come to the U.S., unless they are immediate family, and can prove that the individuals already here are legally here.

Part 8 of Mark’s Plan: Freeze all transfers of money from U.S. Banks and financial institutions, including Western Union wires and the like to Mexico, and including any other foreign banks or financial institutions with branches in the U.S., unless the sender can prove that they are legally in this country. All moneys frozen can go to defray and offset the costs incurred by giving all these freebies to the ILLEGALs. Of course, legitimated transfers will be allowed.

Once these kinds of steps are taken, we will not need to worry about finding and removing the 12 Million or more ILLEGALs. Once the ILLEGALs cannot receive the advantages of this country, they will go back in what could be called reverse immigration. If they cannot receive the benefits of this country, they will not come. Once the invasion is stopped and the flow of humanity is cut off, then let's talk about comprehensive immigration reform. Although, we probably will not need to change much, after we have gotten control over the flow of humanity.

As I wrote to Bill Nelson, Mel Martinez, Pres. Bush and Mike Bilirakis when those demonstrations in support of ILLEGALs (i.e., law breakers) began:"It feels like we are in the Twilight Zone, when the criminals (Illegals) have the temerity to protest the strengthening of laws that they have violated. . . . I use the following analogy: This is my home. I have the right, and the obligation to my family, to keep all criminals out of my house and to protect my family from the criminals. That means that I lock my doors at night and when I go out. We have been leaving the doors and windows to our home open for too long. New locks, doors and windows need to be installed to keep the criminals out. This is especially so in a time of war. The analogy can be carried further in this way: It is as if the criminals are marching and protesting outside of my house after they have broken in and taken my property, because I suggested to my neighbor that I should begin locking my doors and windows to keep them out and to protect my family and my property. That is what the marches by the illegals and their supporters represent.

This country is our home and we have the right, the duty and the obligation to keep the criminals out, to protect our family and our property. If you vote for anything less than the complete closing of the borders and strict enforcement against all of the lawbreakers, be they illegals, or those who enable, encourage, assist and/or employ them, you are refusing to protect your 'house,' your 'family,' and your 'property.' Upholding the law works every time it is tried. I am not against immigration--my great grandparents emigrated here in 1910--I am against criminals. These illegals and their advocates are criminals and need to be stopped. Do the right thing: Vote to protect our 'house,' and vote against any bill that calls for anything that even hints at amnesty or a guest worker program."
