Op-ed:
Five Steps to Solving the
Immigration Conundrum

"We have a sovereign country, and we have the right to enforce our
immigration laws, irrespective of how you feel about immigration at
large."
- Florida Senator and Republican
presidential candidate Marco Rubio
'Tolerate'...a word that has come to symbolize all that is wrong in
America today as we are told we must 'tolerate,' for example, those behaving badly...we must 'tolerate' those out to kill us all...we must 'tolerate' demands done
in the name of political correctness...and so much more. And why must we
'tolerate' all this...simply because we have allowed Congress...and a now
red Congress to boot...to sit back and basically do NOTHING as they
cower in fear of the race card being used against them if they dare to
do what they know in their hearts is the right thing to do.
And now on top of everything else we must add in that, to date, we are
being forced to 'tolerate' those whose presence here in our country
negatively affects NOT only our economy, but the health, safety, and
welfare of us all. ILLEGAL aliens...or as I more accurately call them
'criminals' because the very way they came to our country was done by
breaking our laws...have NO legal right to be here and we are under NO
obligation to allow them to stay here for nowhere in the Constitution
does it say that America must be the refuge of those who break the law.
And when you add in that thanks to the politics and policies of Barack
HUSSEIN Obama, state and local governments have been instructed NOT
to turn over those ILLEGALS federal agents request be turned over...and
that includes convicted felons...you just know we are in serious
trouble.
Serious trouble as there are over 22+ million ILLEGALS in our country
who...while some did most assuredly come here for a better life and are working hard to
that end...the vast majority are here to bilk our welfare and medical
system, to take our jobs, to commit crimes including robbery, rape, and
murder, and to generally create Obama sanctioned havoc...as they easily
cross our unsealed southern border. And with immigration officials
overwhelmed by the sheer numbers coming across said border coupled with Obama's mandated
rules...rules designed to actually increase ILLEGAL
numbers which in turn increase the Democratic voter base...they are
basically left powerless to halt the ever increasing so-called 'brown-flow' that shows
NO real sign of abating.
And while some politicians, elected officials, and most assuredly 'We
the People' do recognize the problem at hand, the main solution being
offered by some...by many...is just NOT a doable reality as calling for
the mass deportation of 22+ million people will NOT ever happen. And
while convicted felons should and must be deported post-haste, the fact
is that the majority of ILLEGALS NEVER will be...people best get used
to that for that is indeed reality. And also something that must be
accepted as reality is that some kind of immigration reform will indeed
happen NO matter how loud or how long some continue to yell 'deport.'
Immigration reform is the only thing that will actually stem and halt
the flow coming across our border and it starts NOT with sealing the
borders as most think as it will take time to actually build a fully
operational fence...and I am speaking of an electrified fence that spans
our entire southern border as the only true deterrent... but...as we
build the fence...there are some things we can do right now to put an
immediate stop to America being seen as the free ride haven for all.
- First, there must be NO and I mean NO aid of any kind...NO freebies, NO
handouts, NO welfare, NO food stamps, NO jobs, NO medical care, NO
drivers licenses, NO voting rights, NO anything...given to those who
come to our country ILLEGALLY. And cutting off said aid should begin immediately.
-
Second, as the fence spanning our entire southern border is being built, we must impose hefty fines on those
business owners who knowingly employ ILLEGALS instead of Americans or
those who came here LEGALLY. The first time the business owner is caught
doing so a hefty fine must be imposed...the second time the owner goes
to jail in addition to receiving even a heftier fine. There must be NO
'three strikes and you're out' allowed...NO 'get out of jail free' card
given...when it comes to employing ILLEGALS...period.
-
Third, as the fence continues being built, the so-called 'sanctuary
city' designation...a designation without an actual legal
definition...must be removed from each and every of the 200 American
cities* now called 'sanctuary cities' located in 32 states that are in reality NOTHING but a
safe-haven for criminals...a safe-haven where criminals are rewarded for
their behaving badly...a refuge where they have NO fear of being
arrested let alone being deported for criminal acts committed whether
those acts be a tangible crime or just the act of their being here
ILLEGALLY.
And 'sanctuary cities'...where policies and/or laws limit the extent to
which law enforcement and other government employees are able to assist
the federal government on immigration matters...are now the main point
of contention what with the recent murder of Kathryn Stienle by
five-times deported, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, the ILLEGAL criminal
with seven prior felony convictions. The man who took refuge in the
'sanctuary city' of San Francisco was freed by San Francisco authorities
under Obama's 'sanctuary policy' where ILLEGALS are protected but the
public is NOT protected from them. And even with their knowing about
Lopez-Sanchez's past the local authorities still could NOT come up with
even one valid reason to continue to hold him even though ICE officially
recognizing him as a threat to public safety if he remained in the
U.S...amazing isn't it.
And in an effort to cover-up this oh so grievous
action, San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi said and continues to say that his department
was right in following both 'procedure' and local laws this past April, when after a
years-old but still in effect arrest warrant on drug charges against Lopez-Sanchez
were dismissed, they chose to release him instead of surrendering him into the
custody of federal immigration officials as requested.
But what happened in the 'sanctuary city' of San Fransisco is NOT a new
occurrence nor is it an isolated incident NOT by a long shot. And with
some claiming that San Francisco and other 'sanctuary cities' are
directly violating Section 642 of the 'Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996' (8 U.S.C. §1373)... which states
that it's a violation of federal law for any state or local government
to
“prohibit, or in any way restrict” law enforcement or other
government officials from sending or receiving information from the
federal government on the
“citizenship or immigration status, lawful or
unlawful, of any individual”...battle lines of sorts have been drawn
between Democrats who support 'sanctuary cities' and Republicans who
rightfully want them gone.
Thankfully, the public overwhelmingly
agrees with the Republicans as a recent Rasmussen poll found 79% of
Republicans and 65% of unaffiliated voters support the DOJ taking legal action
against 'sanctuary cities' but that only 43% of Democrats support such
action. And with 62% of actual 'likely voters' agreeing and but 26%
opposing said action coupled with the fact that 58% agree as opposed to
32% who disagree that the federal government should cut off all funds to
'sanctuary cities' the voice of 'We the People' you think would be
heeded by those on Capitol Hill, but with a weak and gutless Congress
there is NO guarantee it will be.
Also, remember serious immigration issues have been happening throughout
the entirety of Obama's presidency beyond just 'sanctuary cities'
including the fact that of the 97% of ILLEGALS who enter the U.S.
through the almost 2,000-mile long border between us and Mexico only 20%
are caught...a statistic for the most part remaining to this day. For
example, in 2010, the Border Patrol reported that 212,202 ILLEGALS were
caught in the Tucson, Arizona, sector alone, but that for every ILLEGAL
they caught another 2.7 successfully made it into this country
undetected. And if that figure alone doesn't get you angry how about
this...of those that were apprehended nearly 30% of them already had a
criminal record here in this country...meaning they were caught and
jailed but somewhere down the line were let go to freely re-enter our
country ILLEGALLY once again...to freely commit criminal acts again.
As was the case of 5-times deported murderer Juan Francisco
Lopez-Sanchez...one of more than 120 convicted murderers released all
across America in just the past few years of Obama's watch.
And this releasing of ILLEGAL criminals continues to happen even though
hundreds of millions of dollars are given to states each year to compensate them
for the cost of jailing said criminals. And they greedily
accept the monies yet these very same states refuse to keep these
criminals...these ILLEGALS...in jail where they belong. Choosing instead
to turn a blind eye to what they know these people are capable of doing, the
authorities willingly release them back into an unsuspecting public to make room
for even more ILLEGALS until they in turn are released...and the vicious
cycle continues on with innocents becoming the victims of on-purpose
bureaucratic blunders run amok. And run these ILLEGALS do straight to an
afore mentioned 'sanctuary city' even though all ready on the books
federal law states that the local authorities must turn over identified
ILLEGAL criminals to ICE for deportation after the ILLEGALS have first
served any local jail time.
-
Fourth, and again while the 2,000 mile long must-have fence gets built, our currently
in-place immigration laws must be enforced in their entirety whether
Obama and his cronies like it or NOT. Remember, the main reason our
immigration system is broken is because Obama knowingly abused his
executive authority by unilaterally refusing to enforce said laws.
Ordering U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to stop
deporting 'broad categories' of ILLEGALS...meaning Hispanics...this
current so-called 'brown flow'...this invasion...is an immigration
disaster of Obama's own doing and its all about votes...votes garnered
for many generations to come as no one will turn on the party who put the
welcome mat out for them...who bought their loyalty with free stuff. But
with the immediate enforcing of the current immigration laws we can at
least slow down this invasion to some degree, and in turn reduce Obama's
hoped for unbeatable Democratic voting roster.
-
And lastly fifth and most important...the fence itself...building it will be
ongoing as the other steps are implemented. The fence is the must have
physical barrier which will actually halt the flow of ILLEGALS into this
country. Expensive to build as it must be built the right way...as in electrified...but
most assuredly money well spent...the fence must NOT now or ever be open
to discussion.
So know that even if the shouts of 'deport' do NOT die down immigration reform
will indeed happen... must happen...one way or another. And isn't it better if
we Conservatives control how said reform is written, implemented, and adjudicated better
then allowing the Democrats to do so...I would surely think so. So lets
unite all factions of the 'right' together to get the best reform we
can...let's get that border sealed; let's enforce the laws already on
the books; and lets remove the designation 'sanctuary city' along with
their funding as sanctuary must NEVER willingly be given to those who
knowingly break our laws. And know that we can get immigration reform
right if and only if we Conservatives control it...period.
