Open enrollment: from today untill the end of the year undocumented residents are encouraged to come forward and register for the program. In return they will be given a temporary worker permit. At the first of the year these same individuals will be utilized as paid resources to erect and or construct a security fence along the Arizona/Mexico border. Upon completion of their services they will then be granted temporary residence contigent upon them completing all the necessary requirements to complete the naturalization process.
If they indeed want to secure the border, want anmesty and are non-criminal illegal immigrants (likely some will not turn out because they are felons with warrants) then here is an opportunity to be part of the solution rather than expecting to be given a free ride.
It's a rough draft. I'm at work and have little time to compose more but go ahead and run with it.
BTW - **** Steve Nash!
Mr Dunn, I love that plan!!!!!!
Are you aware that the country most offended by this new bill, Mexico has and enforces their immigration laws with 2-10 years in prison and they are required to prosecute. Yet they are screaming that we want to do so...
I also believe we have our low income workers right here in the country. They are in prison and owe a debt to society. As part of rehabilitation ALL PRISONERS should be forced to work a 40 hour week in a low-moderate skill associated job. Refusal to do so should automatically result in a stay of any possibility of parole because without developing work ethic they have not been rehabilitated at all. The prisons should be used for manufacturing generic products to be used for people on welfare systems, as well as other mundane items of gross consumer consumption. Upon release they could have letters of recommendation regarding work ethic, leadership ability and any other asset that they displayed during their sentence. Learned skills would make them more likely to get jobs and keep them when they get out. On top of that the work would cover the cost of keeping them in prison. Heck make the commissary and food on a pay scale too so they have to budget the money you work harder and better you get more in your commissary the better food and product you can get while in lock up.
Far too many people whine about the Civil rights of prisoners who have violated others rights to get put into prisons in the first place. I went to jail, I worked on a pea farm to get my time reduced. There are work programs however they need to be required. Being a functional and productive worker should be a requirement for any prisoner before any possibility of parole. If you have the right to oppress others and take away from the quality of life you have the right to be forced to work manual labor jobs until your DEBT TO SOCIETY has been repaid and you have proven you are functional enough to hold a job once released.
On top of that unemployment would take care of the rest of the jobs nobody wants to do. Pay them the same amount they get now according to previous salary, but make them do labor to earn the unemployment rights. No free rides people no free rides. You can make that 12 an hour but not sitting at home collecting a check going on and sabotaging an interview every week or two... Make them show proof of an interview for time you take off to interview for a job to get paid for that time... Simple as that. You don't wanna work you don't wanna get paid. People need to be accountable for themselves. It is ridiculous how no one is accountable for themselves anymore. There should not be ANY entitlement programs that can sustain a family indefinitely that does not require them to get off their ass and work for it.
That would take care of so much of the monetarily detrimental side of illegal's being sent home and free up government money for other things like educating our youth to lessen poverty levels of future generations.
There is no definite clear cut answer but there is obviously a problem and sweeping it under the table is not the solution. Lots of great ideas, but some control is definitely needed.
As far as race goes I am so tired of that crap. I am not racist, most of my family is integrated with blacks and hispanics and I love and adore everyone of them. To everyone else Whites are racist against everyone anytime a political matter comes up. However when a person of color is a racist it isn't called racism. It is called reverse racism. Are you kidding me??? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. Reverse racism would be that they love all people of a different race blindly ignorant of any personal attribute possessed by the individuals with in. Because that would be the reverse or opposite of racism. So just call it what it is, they are racist too. White's don't own the market on racism anymore. I doubt we are even the majority anymore when you count all of the separate minorities together. So then you look at affirmative action, all things being equal you must resort to racism to place a person. We have 8 whites 5 blacks an Indian and 4 Hispanics. According to our ratio we have to hire the Indian applicant even though we didn't feel he was the best fit. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? We are far along enough to recognize this as racism in and of itself. Why is discrimination okay against whites in that position? Equality is as big now as it is ever going to be. Don't we have a Middle Eastern/Black President? A fact that makes me proud even if I don't agree with all of his politics. That is the highest office in the friggin WORLD and we finally have reached a point of equality that he was able to be elected. I can not tell you how good of a thing I think that is regardless of the fact I don't agree with many of his political views. I am an independent and think both sides have a lot of great ideas as well as ridiculous ones if you are wondering. I like to make my decision based on my thoughts and not a party's belief system.
As far as profiling goes, yeah people profile... I hate to be the voice of reason but profiling is there because people fit a profile... Does that mean that everyone within that race is a certain way. No. Does it mean there are common generalities that anyone aware of their surroundings can easily notice. Yes. Go to any comedy show and listen to the nonstop jokes. Blacks Hispanics, whites, middle eastern Indians dogging on their own race about the very same things being complained about as profiling. Interesting they can pick at themselves for all of the same things that "profiling" supposedly does but since it is them making the observation it is ok. BULLCRAP! It isn't discrimination to recognize someone is different, or that there are trends of characteristics in certain demographics.
I am all for profiling if you see someone dressed like a thug, loose pants, oversized shirt, race not even considered I profile them as a gangster OR a gangster wannabe. If you dress like a gang banger don't get upset if you are treated like one. If you come up to me in skid row clothes and smelling like you haven't bathed in a while I will assume you are homeless. If you come to live in the country and can't speak the language, don't get upset if someone thinks you are illegal. Profiling is a valuable tool. Profiling is pro-active if you don't profile, or notice trends how can you capitalize on the information? In business the best practice is to research / follow trends and decide what course of action to take based off of that information. Why then would the same practice not be the best way to locate criminals? Without profiling we are just waiting for something bad to happen. Our court systems are here to prove the guilt of a person via trial. The officer does not make the decision of guilt only an assessment of probable cause. I assure you many more criminals have been caught from profiling than innocent people have been convicted. I am a bald man with a goatee and have been this way for 15 years. I lived in Pasadena during the height of the gang days. I got lots of profiling then because at first only bangers and thugs were doing it. I knew I looked like a thug and expected to be pulled over or questioned on occasion because of it. Not because I was doing something wrong but because I fit a profile. They stopped me harassed me, checked me out and as long as I came up clean I was on my way.
The crimes they mention here in this bill are all valid crimes that fit the profile of typical undocumented illegal's soliciting work and what not. Cars stopping roadside to pick them up, guys standing in Home Depot parking lots all day... those are the crimes they are watching for. So they will get more illegal's, hookers and johns with by exercising the law. Do I think that there are racially motivated police who will abuse this law? Absolutely but they are already abusing their power so this doesn't change it. The bad are already doing bad, and the good will keep doing good for society. There are far to many spin doctors and victim minded people use profiling as some type of scapegoat. If you got pulled over for fitting a profile and WOW you had drugs on you. You still cry profiling because If you didn't get pulled over you wouldn't have gotten caught. How about owning up to the fact you were profiled because your actions and actions of others like you CREATED the profile... You did have the drugs just like the profile he used to identify you as a possible criminal... Not only that you reinforced the profile... Fugging victims... None of these "profiles" would exist if there weren't enough people doing things to create a noticeable trend. I include whites in this too. I went to Nuevo Laredo that is a Mexican border town. I am kind of muscular I don't know if you noticed. Well guess what I was stopped and strip searched and asked specifically if I had steroids when I came back. Why do you think that was? Is it because it was my turn in the random line? HMMMM I don't think that was it... Is it because I was a muscular gringo in a border town where guys built like me come to get steroids regularly and there was at least a decent likelihood I might have some. I will put my money on the second option. I will also tell you if I was that border patrol officer I WOULD have stopped me and searched me too. I consider that a job well done. Not an offense towards me and all other muscular males, but perfect use of the profile of a possible steroid seeker.
People's feelings getting hurt has become far too important in this country. I am so sick of political correctness. Profiling is a valuable tool, and when not used by a bad person is truly invaluable. However there will always be douche bags that abuse any power available to them because they are oppressors. I don't really care if it hurt your feelings that you were pulled over and the officer checked your creds, if you are legit 9999 times out of 10000 you will have absolutely no problem. Every once in a while even a legit person will have a discrepancy, that is collateral damage and is minute compared to the greater good that comes from profiling. Money gets people off not race, special interest groups get people off not race. I had a black friend of mine back in my rough days caught with 20 rocks of crack. With a court appointed attorney he served 3 days and got 10 years probation. So excessive punishment based on race does not run across the board either. He deserved some jail time for sure. Same as If I was juicing and I got caught I deserve jail time. If I illegally invade another country and falsify documents I deserve jail time. Heck as an American citizen if I forge government documents I have committed a major offense. So why should these people who have done a combination of those things be free to keep on keeping on just because they are a different color or from a poor area? Would it be justified then if I couldn't pay my bills for me to enter into your home illegally and take up residence there as long as I am not actually intending to do you harm? I think not. So let's not act like it is okay as a nation to accept the exact same behavior from illegal alien's. Oops I mean Undocumented Immigrant or whatever the stupid PC word is for them now. Why the hell do we have to be so considerate of them they have a PC name to refer to them. WTF? They enter our country illegally, from other countries, but we have to call them Undocumented Immigrants so as not to offend them? Where I come from someone trespasses knowingly where they are not supposed to be you fill their ass with buckshot or whoop that azz... You definitely don't give them free healthcare and let them play in your front lawn...
We need to be a little more real and stop walking on eggshells over peoples feelings. If they feel we are discriminating against them they are correct. We are discriminating from the people who belong here and those who don't. Discrimination has become a bad word and it isn't one. We discriminate any time we notice a difference and make a decision based on that difference. That is part of the process of decision making.
