A [Guest and Citizen] Worker Plan for all

An Article by:

I don’t know how many Americans know this but there are over 6 different worker visa programs already in place accounting for over 600,000 plus workers last year alone. Count the green cards and legal immigration and you have millions every year coming legally and they want to add even more. The failure is that many of these visa persons overstay their visa and do not go home. That’s right, they never return to their country of origin and contribute even more to the illegal worker issue. Just who employees them and who checks up on them? The answer is no one and some of you are biting at the bit to pass this bill with all these so called penalties. So, once again I will repeat, because I do not believe it is honest to call this immigration, I speak to an illegal worker plan.

We all know by fact that immigration requires you file in the country of origin, you have to have a citizen sponsor who will support you, get you employment and be responsible for you, you pay a fee and you wait your turn. Others who come outside of this requirement have simply broken the law . If they work here they do so off the books or with stolen ID. This is an abuse of those who they have stolen that ID from and those who applied legally. It is as simple and honest as that and they are entitled to nothing but what anyone has earned who has broken the law.

Now here is the plan I have forwarded to our President. I had not published it as yet since I felt he should have a chance to review it. I also sent it to our Senator here in Florida, a key advocate of that misleading and misidentified ‘Comprehensive Immigration Bill”. I sincerely believe it addressed all the key elements necessary for the American people to approve without rewards or amnesty.

Mr. President,

A Solution for Immigration.

The problem is amnesty, as you already know. So as an opponent of amnesty I offer this to you as a possibility? I would like you to consider it because I truly believe you are a good man saddled by an incompetent Congress and quite frankly, staff. I believe you have the vision to comprehend what I am proposing to you. I do not present it in arrogance but simply an offer for your consideration.

Simply put, the Key is Mexico. Mexico needs to carry their fair share . Mexico and employers who exploit these workers are the root cause that “our” government evidently refuses to or can’t seem to understand.

So how can we accomplish this?

Those applying for work in the United States under this new Visa process [which will eliminate the other current visa programs] will process through the Mexican government and then us, or simultaneously if practical. This will produce two sources of identification and control.

1- Background criminal check there and here with related finger printing and other technical identification collection.

2- New ID card which will serve multiple purposes. They have to come out of the shadows to do this and register first with us, giving them a guarantee of return, then they go home and process through Mexico.

Why? So that any criminals will be weeded out. I believe it can be acceptable to process them through a joint effort here, thus eliminating a trip home.

It will produce -

A] Personal Identification for them and their respective immediate family members.

B] International drivers license allowing them to drive in the USA always adhering to our law.

C] Health and auto insurance provided by Mexico that our Hospitals and other Medical care providers and civil authorities can collect from with Mexico as guaranteed by that sovereign nation.

D] Taxes paid into our system via the use of this care SS and Taxes; etc in their name can be attached to them via this number.

E] If they break the law they lose this identification.

F] Employers can hire them using this number but they must not be paid below minimum wage and only after all American applicants have been interviewed. They stay for a defined period of time and then return home. But no more then one year.

G] Family members can receive a card with the same number as the main recipient with an additional identification symbol for child, wife, etc. It will also allow them to also work legally.

H] All other social services such as schools and other education and special needs by American institutions to be paid for by Mexico.

This can come in the form of energy credits to the USA for oil, direct funding by Mexico, taxes on these workers, American company contributions but no American Taxpayer dollars.

What has this accomplished?

We will all know who and where they are.

Mexico is required to pay their fair share and eliminates the burden on the American Taxpayer.

It provides Americans with equal opportunity for those jobs the government claims Americans do not want.

These workers are now legally authorized to be here.

Now here is the kicker. With the DNA and other identification, voice, retina, etc on file in Mexico and the USA you can weed out those arrested quickly or existing criminals.

Employers who hire these workers will be required to hire them under existing American hour and wage law. If they rent or make housing available it must meet health and safety codes and rent requirements of the area they reside in [no more “I owe my soul to the company store”]. If they provide worker paid health insurance this will be paid by the worker like any other American worker. Certainly “Workman’s Compensation” is required for injury on the job and unemployment compensation deductions. I suggest the employer pay this just like they do for any other employee.

Now you do not need to spend billions on the fence it can be put it into this project. No card no work will eliminate all but the criminal activity. I sincerely believe it will end this matter ASAP and if you make this offer and get the President of Mexico to commit you can move ahead with this issue behind you. He has been extremely critical of our nation and it is about time he put his money where his mouth is.

Hopefully Mr. President you will give it consideration. The problem is Amnesty and enforcement. But above all that is that there is no trust in either. I do believe this erase these issues and puts us back on the road to confidence.

Respectfully,
