Do You Agree With President Bush's New Immigration Plan?

Question

Right now President Bush is holding a press conference in washington, and may I add he is interupting my Price is Right..... anyway, he had mentioned that his plan for immigration is to tell illegal workers here to just admit that they broke the law, pay a fine, then become documented workers here....if they already have a job?

I personally think this is a great idea, but I dont see too many illegal workers stepping forward to pay a fine, but I guess it is better than being deported.

Answer 1

No, I do not agree with the plan.

There are so many aspects of the bill that will not work starting with the one you just mentioned. What illegal is going to step forward and pay $5000 in fines and possible back taxes? also be deported and wait for citizen processing and last I heard it could be quite a few years before processing.

This will be yet another set of laws that we do not enforce and a great many do not obey. Some will come forward, but most will not.

Answer 2

Well, how many people do you know who would step up and admit they committed a crime? Who would voluntarily pay a fine? If they wouldn't do what it takes to come here legally in the first place and if they didn't change their evil ways after the amnesty of 1986 and that was ABSOLUTE AND TRUE AMNESTY, what would cause them to obey the law today? What is the incentive? The government claims it can't deport 12 million illegal aliens. President Bush admitted that the government has not enforced our immigration laws over the years so what would be the government 's incentive to enforce them today? When people are given permission to break the law and the laws are not enforced and the actions of the government are to continue to let illegal aliens slide right by the law by arresting less than 1/10 of 1% of the number of illegals who enter the country illegally every year, what possible reason could they have to obey the law? When illegal aliens get to live in sanctuary cities and get to hide-out in churches under their protection, where is the incentive to obey the law? Aren't these actions and facts and lack of actions just reinforcement that the United States can be taken over without a fight and that the government not only doesn't have the wherewithall to fight the takeover but doesn't have the will to enforce the laws it passed? The dangers of illegal immigration are very real but Mr. Bush doesn't have a clue about anything! He's just a mouthpiece and and idiot for those who bought and paid for him.

Mr. Bush said that he wanted to ensure that they terrorists didn't have a safe haven from which to attack us again. He was talking about Iraq but he hasn't even bothered to address the Sanctuary Cities that have sprouted up since 9/11/01 and where at least one member of the Fort Dix Terrorists lived and plotted. He really doesn't have a clue and we don't trust him, nor do we believe he could protect an ant from being stepped on if it was running up his pant leg.

Answer 3

I don't agree with the complete plan, but, at least it is a start. If this debate was started 20 years ago we wouldn't be so divided over the immigration issue. If congress can amend the constitution then surely they can amend this bill. Write your Congressman and yell at him for a change. Quit demonizing the immigrants. Before it was the immigrant Irish, then the Italians, then the Chinese, then the Vietnamese. Now it's the Mexicans. They have an historical place in the USA that is reflected all over California. From the names of streets, to cities , rivers and mountain ranges. Paying a fine that starts at $5,000 and up and then maybe going back to the country of your origin to get a legal visa, (maybe), is no amnesty.

Answer 4

I would have to say no,and hell no!! This may be one of the biggest BS pieces of legislation ever crammed down the throats of the US citizen. I especially like the part of the legislation that will grant amnesty to known gang members if they sign an affadavit renouncing their gang involvement from this point forward. I'm sure the MS-13 members are glad to hear that one,now they only have to worry about the regular police rather than having to dodge ICE as well. That should make life a lot easier for MS-13's estimated 33,000 members. Clearly the US government has lost it's collective mind!

Answer 5

It's only a good plan if the government decides to enforce current immigration laws.

You can pass all the bills you want, but nobody is going to comply if they're not made to do so.

$5000 is not just a slap on the wrist as most illegals don't make that much money. That could be a 1/4 to even 1/2 of their yearly pay.

Answer 6

a million.employed unfashionable thinking cabinet.....(What does that advise?) 2.did no longer sign Kyoto contract....(Thank God becasue it truly is a fable, e.g. "worldwide Warming.) 3. No useful plan on Immigration or border protection. (he's following priority, i.e. Amnesty. No President or Congress is going to deport the illegals. It ain't gonna ensue-era. Being in this u . s . in extensive numbers is 9-tenths of the regulation. no person is going to construct a Berlin Wall alongside the Rio Grande. It ain't gonna ensue! 10-years from now we could have this same debate.) 4.Hated by way of maximum international places in the international. (he's President of the U. S. no longer the international!) 5.Has decreased money for scientific analyze thereby hindering remedies for many cancers, Alzheimer's, and so on. (investment for many cancers analyze does no longer something yet by way of large luxury retirement properties for medical doctors and researchers. we are no closer to curing maximum cancers than we've been in 1960 ditto on Alzheimers) 6. Iraq conflict..pointless, no WMD's, no yellowcake, ongoing with out bring about sight. Killed maximum of. maximum of vets now with out legs, hands, and so on who could desire to stay like that for the subsequent 50 years plus with ongoing scientific expenses. (I agree in this one. The Iraq conflict became/is united statesa.'s maximum suitable catastrophe through fact 1965) 7. Arrognant, would not act like conflict president, continually spinning his blunders, like the actuality that no WMDs discovered and inspectors discovered none formerly rush to conflict. (call a President who has no longer?) 8. Rush to conflict with out real plan, now no hurry to get out with out plan and no issue of ongoing killings, and conflict lasting longer than WWII and billions spent. (i think of that they had a solid plan getting into yet badly misjudged the degree of hatred for the U. S. and loathing between Shiites and Sunnis.) Bush is suited on tax cuts for producing government sales and spurring the econoomy.

Answer 7

1) IF they file income taxes, are they eligible for the "Earned Income Tax Credit?" That's $5000 we give to "poor" tax payers who have large families. For 8 years. Hmmm...we're paying them $35,000 to move here.

2) Reducing the length of the (completely inadequate) 700 mile border fence to 350 miles. YEAH, that'll keep new varmints out!

3) We can't "deport them all," but we can set up massive bureaucracies that identify, assist, and ultimately monitor these 11 to 20 million people.

Hmmm....makes sense to me!

Answer 8

The only thing I favor is to uphold the laws on the books and spend our taxes to catch them, penalize their employers, equip all border patrol with stun guns or the other thing they use in prisons, and guns for use if the guards are threatened, penalize property owners who 'harbor' them illegally.

If all those opposed to this new Bill would refuse to pay their taxes do you think they will grant us amnesty? Perhaps we should have a protest march letting our objection to spending our taxes on illegal aliens and for failure to represent citizens of the U.S.

In answer to your question: No they would rather remain in the shadows and collect all the goodies anyway than pay taxes, fines, etc.

Answer 9

No, the best immigration plan would be to fine employers $10,000 for each illegal that they catch in their employ. That would stop people from hiring them and if there are no jobs for them they will stop coming and many that are here will go back home.

Answer 10

NO I do not. It is horrible and I haven't even finished reading all 350 pages or so of it.

I agree that under these circumstances 'The Price Is Right' would be much more important and insightful than the web Bush is trying to weave.
