I have a suggestion that might make things operate better. Let’s consider the following:
“PROBATION IMMIGRATION STATUS”
5 YEARS
This is "not" an amnesty, it is a probation period to have the person “prove” by their deeds, their worthiness to become US Citizens.
All persons that are not authorized to reside in the US as of January 1, 2013, and have been residing in the US for at least 2 years (documented), may continue to do so without threat of arrest.
All business owners that have hired persons that are not authorized to reside or work in the US as of January 1st, 2013, and have been so employed for at least 2 years, may continue to work without threat of arrest.
Note: These two sections prevent a rash of new illegal entrant's into the US trying to take advantage of this plan.
Businesses that hired illegal workers, affected by this probation period, shall be assessed a 5% additional charge on their state corporate taxes to clear the business for all past violations of the employment laws for the 5 year probation period.
Said business shall insure that they follow the law on any further hiring and that workers currently employed, must receive at the very least the “minimum wage” for the locality and State in question. This will help to stop “underground or black market” employment and the mistreatment of workers due to their illegal status.
Any further violation BY THE BUSINESS OWNER OR HIS REPRESENTATIVE shall result in their arrest and imprisonment of the employer for NLT 1 Calendar year. Additionally, the business license of the company that hired the illegal workers shall be cancelled.
All business that have knowingly allowed the renting or sale of a residence to illegal’s shall pay a $500.00 fine for 5 years for doing so. This fine shall be paid in state taxes for 5 years.
All Persons enrolled in this “IMMIGRATION STATUS PROBATION” plan must: (violation shall result in immediate deportation)
A. Those persons must report to the nearest USCIS/ICE Office, prior to January 1st, 2013, to disclose and document their correct Full name, date of birth, current address, current contact data and work location. Their finger prints will be taken at this time.
B. These persons Surrender any paperwork or identification, passports and SS Cards that they have been using during their illegal activities in the US. Any falsehoods in this disclosure shall result in their immediate deportation. (Tell the Truth)
C. These persons will be issued a temporary ID and with this ID, they are authorized to remain and work in the US. This ID will also be used for the creation of banking accounts and legally rent residences.
D. Those persons will forfeit one half (1/2) of any State or Federal Tax refund, if any, for the next 5 calendar years. This is a “probation violation payment” for entering the US Illegally.
E. Those persons will sign an agreement with the US Government that allows the US Government to deport them for “any State or Federal Felony criminal conviction” within the 5 year probation period.
F. Those persons will advise the CIS/ICE when they move, enter into any other employment or when they are departing for a vacation period outside the US.
G. Those persons will not receive any compensation from Social Security or Medicare (Public monies) for the time they worked using falsely obtained SS Numbers and identities. Those monies will be determined and then used to support the current SS and Medicare programs.
H. Those persons who are in this probation period will be charged an additional 5% deduction for federal tax, 3% deduction for State Tax on all lottery winnings during the period of the probation.
I. Those persons may not apply for US Citizenship prior to the end of the 5 yr probation period.
Any individual that does not meet these requirements shall be detained by any contact with city, county, state and Federal authorities. Federal authorities shall be called and the person shall be released to ICE or CBP Border Patrol Personnel.
All future violators, after January 1st, 2013, shall be detained, not released, upon determination of their illegal status and shall be deported at the earliest opportunity.
These ideas will insure that those persons that violated our laws do not receive an “Amnesty” for their actions but shall “pay” for their transgressions against the laws of the United States.
These actions allow those that have applied to legally enter the US and those that have already applied for US Citizenship to receive their status far sooner than those under this “probation period” plan.
