 Border
Security Reform
 Why
all states should prohibit the issuance of drivers'
licenses and "driving certificates" to
illegal aliens.
A. Emergency actions that can be instituted by
the President without need of further legislation.
1. Assign troops to patrol the Mexican and Canadian
borders as well as seaports for the purpose of
halting illegal immigration and entry of terrorists.
2. Enforce existing federal law barring employment
of illegal aliens. Employers who violate this law
must be prosecuted under existing law and maximum
penalties sought.
3. End immediately application of reverse discrimination/affirmative
action programs to immigrants. Such programs, originally
established as a means of aiding black Americans
to overcome effects of past discrimination. Application
to immigrants is a perversion of the intent of
these programs and puts most Americans at a disadvantage
vis a vis immigrants.
B. Emergency actions requiring Congressional action
4. Repeal the Kennedy amendment to the 1996 immigration
reforms. This amendment made “mere membership” in
a terrorist organization insufficient grounds for
barring an alien from entering the US.
C. Legislative reforms that will reduce the incentives
for aliens to come to the US illegally and create
incentives for illegal aliens to return voluntarily
to their homelands
5. Congress must reject calls for additional
amnesties for illegal aliens.
6. Congress must pass legislation ending the granting
of citizenship to children born within the border
of the United States to illegal immigrants.
7. Current law must be amended to:
- End “chain
immigration.” When an
alien is granted a permanent resident visa, he/she
must only be allowed to bring in his/her spouse
and natural or adopted children under age 21.
- Enforce
current bans on providing welfare benefits in
any form to non-citizens
- Cut off of social security
benefits to illegal aliens
- Simplify the current
complex, unenforceable system of myriad types
of visas.
Prohibit educating illegal immigrants at US taxpayer
expense.
- Simplify system for denaturalizing citizens
who obtained their citizenship through fraud
or deception or who commit terrorist acts in
concert with foreign terrorist entities or governments.
- Massively
enlarge the number of Border Patrol Agents.
- Institute
enhanced “whistleblower” safeguards
for all federal employees engaged in administering
or enforcing immigration law.
8. All State and
local law enforcement agencies that receive federal
funding must deputize their officers to enforce
immigration law under Sec. 133 of the 1996 immigration
reform act. State and local governments that refuse
to participate must lose federal funding
9. Require all hospitals that receive federal aid
which provide service to an illegal alien to provide
information about the patient to the Department
of Homeland Security so that cost of those services
must be deducted from the foreign aid account of
the alien’s country of citizenship.
10. Enact legislation prohibiting banks and financial
institution from establishing accounts for people
illegally in the US
11. Enact Rep. Tancredo’s bill, HR 502, which
prohibits all agencies of the federal government
from recognizing for any purpose the drivers’ licenses
of states which do not require that license applicants
prove they are legally present in the U.S.
12. Prohibit acceptance of Consular Identification
cards for any purpose by any jurisdiction or private
agency that receives federal funds.
D. Measures to re-establish assimilation as the
goal of US immigration policy
13. Enact into law additional measures to prevent
non-citizens from voting in federal, State or local
elections. Such measures should include requirement
of presentation of photo ID at time of voting.
Ending voter registration by mail. Impose severe
civil and criminal penalties on those who violate
or aid others to violate citizen-only voting laws.
14. Require all ballots to be in English only.
15. Enforce existing requirements of proficiency
in English and knowledge of US history as prerequisites
for achieving citizenship. Require schools that
receive federal aid to teach English to students
who are not proficient in the language. Establish
a legal limit on duration of programs for such
children.
E. Measures to restore as the goal to the system
for issuing visitors’ visas the safety of
the US and its citizens.
16. Strip the State Department of all visa granting
power, and transfer this authority to the Department
of Homeland Security.
a. The DHS and all employees involved in the issuance
of visas must be subject to the Federal Tort Claims
Act. They must be subject to civil suit in damages
by victims injured due to negligence in carrying
out their obligations to screen visa applicants.
This exposure to civil suit must not be greater
or less than that imposed on ordinary people in
non-governmental tasks.
17. Prohibit anyone employed in the Executive,
Legislative or Judicial Branches of the Federal
government from accepting employment with a foreign
government or business or any entity controlled
directly or indirectly by a foreign government,
or accepting a gift or thing of value from a foreign
government or entity for 20 years after leaving
government service. Violation would be a felony
with forfeiture of all items paid or transferred
to the guilty party upon conviction. Provide for
action by “private attorneys general” against
suspects on terms similar to such provisions in
environmental statutes.
18. Enforcement of provisions in consular treaties
barring consuls and all other diplomats and employees
from participating in political affairs in the
US. This to include lobbying of State and local
officials, or aiding or abetting illegal immigration
to the US
Enact a federal law establishing a private cause
of action by individuals against landlords of embassies
and consulates who violate these provisions.
19. Prohibit contributions of any kind by non-citizens
to candidates for federal, State or local office
and to political parties, either directly or through
third parties. Violation by contributors and recipients
who shall have knowingly received such funds shall
be a felony. Recipients shall be expelled from
office upon conviction and barred from holding
political office for life.
20. Similar prohibitions on gifts to federal employees.
Recipients shall be fired upon conviction and barred
from public employment for life.
21. Prohibit federal aid to public colleges and
universities that grant in-state tuition rates
to illegal aliens or those enrolled or funded by
foreign governments.
22. Prohibit US citizens from voting in foreign
elections other than private organizations and
businesses.
