"The public policy purpose of this legislation is to promote priority in employment of American citizens.”
“As of the effective date; and, in accordance with theprovisions ofthis Act, all illegal immigrants residing within the borders of the USA, will be considered guilty of a federal first-degree felony, subject to imprisonment for not less than a one year;simultaneously liable to paya fine of not less than $5,000.00; and, to be permanentlydisqualified from subsequent reentry into the USas legal immigrants.As of a time certain, all illegal immigrants, residingwithinthe US,are required to be repatriated to his or her nation of origin.”
“A humanitarian exception is hereby provided.Upon registration with the IMMIGRATION SERVICE,and production of a their child's valid birth certificate, an illegal immigrant, who is the parent or grand-parent of a U.S. citizen, will be granted legal permission to continue residency within the US.Such immigrants status and requirements for continued residencyshall be structuredaccording to standards established by Congress.”
“As a matter of good faith, all other registered illegal immigrants will be granted a 18 month grace period to temporarilyremain within the US.Thisgrace period is intended tofacilitate the illegal immigrant’s the ability to aggregate sufficient income to relieve the repatriation burdento their homeland.”
“As a mater of fair dealing, the US government will initiate a process whereby registered illegal immigrants will be offered subsequent prospect of legal reenter into the US.The US government, will be required to establish acomputerized lottery system facilitating the immigrant’sabilitytosubsequentlyreenter as legal immigrants. Registered illegal immigrant,through this process,will acquire priority status for reentry in a proportion equal to the number of years of previous US employment.”
“Nevertheless, after the Grace Period, any illegal immigrant remaining within the US borders mustbe apprehended for trail. Upon his or her conviction to be subjected to the legal sanctions stated herein; and, ultimately deported.”
“After the cut off date, any person, organization,business entity, US employer, their agents, management; and/or, other labor contractor hiring or employing illegal immigrants; or, otherwise,facilitating illegalentry or fostering continued habitation, upon conviction,will be subject to criminal sanctions.These including being adjudicated guilty of a first-degree federal felony; subjecting themincarceration for a period of not less than 5 years; and, simultaneously, afineofnot less than $500,000.00 per count.”

“All levels of US law enforcement,local,state and federal,will be responsible for this acts enforcement.”
“Any nation refusing to accept the repatriation of its citizens, will be denied access to all US markets.”

Mexico Is Rich Mexican wealthy play American taxpayers for suckers [An article worth reading by all!]
Certainly there are many poor people in Mexico, since perhaps half the country lives in poverty. However, the nation as a whole is quite rich — see the documented facts listed below — and could well finance the sort of improvements in education and infrastructure that would better the living standards of all Mexicans. But the Mexican ultra-rich, like telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim shown here, don't like to tax themselves for investment the country badly needs for infrastructure and education, and it helps them greatly that the American taxpayer has been forced to support Mexicans living in the United States. Interestingly, the Forbes list of billionaires published in 2006 showed Carlos Slim moving up to the number three spot among the world's richest men. Every dollar spent in U.S. taxes for social services for illegal aliens frees up additional cash to be sent south as part of the annual remittances which provided $20 billion in 2005. According to the CNN news show Lou Dobbs Tonight (3/21/05), "Remittances, as they're called, are expected to become Mexico's primary source of income this year, surpassing the amount of money that Mexico makes on oil exports for the first time ever." So when el Presidente Vicente Fox complains that the "dignity" of Mexicans living illegally in America requires that they receive free healthcare on the U.S. taxpayer's dime, he is really talking about increased remittances to keep their whole corrupt system afloat.
For Your Initial Support on The Globalization TRADE - Issue! Yes. We can WIN this! Save our America. Why? Because - We are THE PEOPLE - We own this Nation!
HILLARY. We love you. However, dump the HIB visa idea. Remember where your Father came from.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is not LEGAL IMMIGRATION. WE SUPPORT THE LATTER..
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is not LEGAL IMMIGRATION. WE SUPPORT THE LATTER..
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is not LEGAL IMMIGRATION. WE SUPPORT THE LATTER..
"The Economist" is concerned some supporters of currently proposed illegal immigration reform, may be operating under a fallacious assumption. Mainly: regarding SOCIAL SECURITY'S SUBSEQUENT VIABILITY - based upon an increased US immigrant population by less educated, low-waged immigrants.
THE FACT:
This is a fallacious economic assumption. Intellectually and economically unsupportable.
THE SOLUTION RE: SECURING SOCIAL SECURITY'S SUBSEQUENT VIABILITY
[especially during the upcoming retire of BABY-BOOMERS] cannot be accomplished by an excessive, massive influx of immigrants.
INSTEAD THE REAL SOLUTION RESIDES IN:
The free enterprise system. Mainly, the necessity of massive capital investment into the US economy. To rebuild a new 21st Century high-tech manufacturing base; inclusive of a partial conversion of the Military Industrial COMPLEX to private manufacturing. [The latter was the case after all past wars - especially WW I; however, not after WW II.] Hence , THE WARNING OF our [greatly underestimeted] PRESIDENT DWIGHT DAVID EISENHOWER, and his courageous Farewell Addredd to our nation.
Simultaneously, the Military Industrial Complex. must be maintained to create a sufficient - if not perfect - national defense.
THIS SOLUTION IS:
Investment in America first, and then in third world nations in need. Yes. A fair and just immigration policy can be created. However, only by following the rule of reason, as the foundation for enforcement of the rule of law, promoting the unfettred operation of THE FREE ENTERPRISE CAPITALISM - without predation by MEGA-CORPORATE MONOPOLIES, and unncessary government regulation. Ecept for regulation protecting the free opertion of our the free enterprise system. Which has made our nation great.
This Site offers one proposed solution. THE 4 TO 8 SOLUTION
Specifically, 4 million illegal immigrant with children born within the US [US Citizens] should receive priority in legalization process. [RATIONALE: to break-up families cannot be morally justified.] The remaining 8 million - if they register - and follow the conditions set forth herein - will be granted priority in applying for legal permission to enter the US labor pool.
However, the reform must e based upon trust. The 8 million illegal immigrants must return to their nation or origin and apply for legal entry. They would receive credit priority based upon the current proposed legislation. That is: thus 8 million illegal population must trust the fair fair and just immigrant reform proposed. More Later...

[An article worth reading by all!]
Certainly there are many poor people in Mexico, since perhaps half the country lives in poverty. However, the nation as a whole is quite rich ? see the documented facts listed below ? and could well finance the sort of improvements in education and infrastructure that would better the living standards of all Mexicans. But the Mexican ultra-rich, like telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim shown here, don't like to tax themselves for investment the country badly needs for infrastructure and education, and it helps them greatly that the American taxpayer has been forced to support Mexicans living in the United States.

COMPREHENSIVE [permanent] RESOLUTION OF THE U.S. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRISIS
[Incredible, but true. initial research indicates the easiest part of the solution is SEALING THE BORDERS. OBJECTION: We object to the hubris of Mexican Government (and its Oligarchy of wealthy families) economically oppressing their people, then dumping the problem on our doorstep.]
And,
A MINORITY SITE VIEW regarding a controversial methodology for permanently SEALING - NOT MERELY SECURING
THE BORDERS [Please Note: An overwhelming majority of Site members vigorously OPPOSE this MINORITY VIEW. Nevertheless, all have a right to be heard.]
ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION IS NOT LEGAL IMMIGRATION
COMPREHENSIVE DEFINED AS = A PERMANENT SOLUTION
This Site, when it utilizes the term "COMPREHENSIVE" means A PERMANENT SOLUTION to a long-vexing national problem. Why? Permanent? Because America is simply "running out of time" regarding its survival - especially its middle-class. No longer can half-measures by half-baked politicians be trusted. Examples of Site Permanent SOLUTIONS:

THIS ISSUE: MOST DIFFICULT DECISION TO DATE
FINALLY:
OUR INITIAL CONCLUSIONS
REGARDING
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
CRISIS
We believe this to be a humane, fair and just - bilateral permanent solution to the crisis.
[We are not ecstatic regarding these conclusions. However, this is where the facts, data - the truth as we see it - led us. Times of crises demand difficult decisions. If this was the 1960s, our consensus would probably favor pro-immigration. However, this is no longer a mere political issue, rather a crisis regarding the very survival of the nation.If you disagree, please, forward your specific solution ASAP. We welcome it! ]
THE 4 TO 8 COMPROMISE: UTIMATELY, it boiled down to a question of morality. Therefore, we have concluded by ethical consensus:
1. "No illegal immigrant possesses a right to a U.S. job, if it is the causation of economic harm to a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant. Especially, economic injury TO The Working Poor or The Middle Class." [An illegal non-citizen possesses no legal standing to insist upon employment injuring a US citizen.]
THE MIDDLE-CLASS TRENDING INTO DISPIRITING REALITY: Since 2001, This Site anxiously reported our initial research evidenced an alarming trend. More and more former members of the middle-class would begin falling into the WORKING-POOR CATEGORY. Recent Press and Scholarly reports, assert this is the current reality. The middle-class nation-wide is shrinking. The gap between wealthy and poor equates to the 1920s. Most disturbing, this is escalating out of control. This explains our current new approach.
Stated more directly: we conclude, as the number of The New Working Poor increases, America will need these jobs [currently held by illegal immigrants] for its newly impoverished citizens.
2. "An illegal immigrant presently resident within the borders of the US must returned to his or her nation of origin."
This Following Exception is SOLOMON'S SOLUTION:
An illegal immigrant who is the parent or grand-parent of a U.S. citizen, upon registration and presentation of a their child's birth certificate, will be immediately granted legal status and permission to remain within the US.
2. A grace period of 18 months will be granted all illegal immigrants [who register] to earn a "START-UP FUND" prior to their repatriation to their homeland. Each registered illegal immigrant will receive priority status in the the computerized future Guest Worker Legal Immigration Work Force Program. Priority based upon the number of years of previous US employment.
3. Simultaneously, "A moratorium on all immigration must be immediately adopted for a period not to exceed two years." [This issue spiraled-out-of-control necessitating a cooling-off period. The ACTUAL, EMPIRICAL DEMOGRAPHIC FACTS must be ascertained, researched and analyzed -prior to further immigration legislation.]
4. Contemporaneously, the US will either secure or permanently seal its Southern and secondarily its Northern border. If a permanent sealing of the borders is sleeted by the Will of the People and their Representatives, then application of lethal military materiel will be utilized.
5. After passage of the 18 month to 24 months Grace Period, any illegal immigrant remaining within the US borders, is to be apprehended and detained for trail by due process, and upon conviction subsequently deported. Any nation refusing to accept the repatriation of its citizens, will be denied access to all US markets.
6. After passage of the Grace Period, any US employer, their agents, management or other labor contractor, hiring or employing illegal immigrants, will be guilty of a first degree federal felony. Any entity convicted of such criminal intent will receive mandatory severe criminal sanctions: incarceration and fines for each count.
7. Legal Immigration can subsequently recommence as legislated.
[More conclusions to follow]
What is your opinion?
Our concern is - not our initial conclusions. Rather, whether our stance represents FAIR AND JUST treatment of illegal immigrants in comparison to the ever-increasing US WORKING POOR. If not, what specific solutions do you propose?
MORE INFORMATION: Please see our Illegal Immigration Page. Here is some research in BLOCK FORMAT: REGRETTABLY, THE TIME FOR COMPLETE TRUTH-TELLING IS HERE! If the conservative figure of 38 Million [38,000,000] U.S. manufacturing jobs were lost since 1981. Then, {assuming four person in a family supported by these living-wage jobs} a conservative extrapolation "FAIR GUESSTIMATE" IS: Since 1981, 160 Million Americans lives were financially devastated. That is: 160,000,000 million US citizens. Currently, U.S. population estimates rage from 270 to 300 Million people. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE: The enormous job losses occurring from the mid and late 1960s to 1981. This we will address subsequently. The time is fast approaching for the WHOLE TRUTH to be told about how many US manufacturing [living-wage - family supporting] JOBS have been LOST since 1970. A New York Times Article estimated 38 MILLION 38,000,000 jobs lost since 1981. Another media source reported 50% [yes, that is on e half] of all US manufacturing [living-wage] jobs destroyed since the late 1960s and 1970. The former estimate is very conservative comparative to our numbers. The latter 50% is closer to the fact, reality and the TRUTH. It is SELF-EVIDENT, his ever-escalating process must STOP. Otherwise our beloved AMERICA will no longer exist. Rome still exists. However, is it the greatness of the ome of old? Such is America's pending FATE without reasonable socio-economic politics IMMEDIATE ACTION. This within formation of THE COMMON MARKET OF THE AMERICAS. Where all impoverished individuals' boats will rise with the wealth class. Through true FREE ENTERPRISE CAPITALISM, under DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT principle with the CONSTITUTIONAL RULE OF LAW designed for the PROTECTION OF LIBERTY. INITIAL DATA LOSS OF 50% MANUFACTURING JOBS SINCE 60S New data appear to indicate the US lost 50% of all manufacturing living-wage family-supportable jobs since the 1960s. This is very serious. Illegal Immigration has worsened the problem, replacing U.S. less-educated workers = driving down wages. Driving many of The Working Poor out of the Labor Force. THESE FACTS CAN NO LONGER BE Ignored AS WE ATTEMPT TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. PERMANENTLY SEAL THE BORDERS? The First Decision: Does the US want to permanently seal and secure its borders especially the Southern? If so, this is technologically possible; and, relatively inexpensive to achieve. All which is lacking is THE WILL - and clear decision-making. If not, candidates and elected officials owe the public and explanation of what they propose! IMMIGRATIONISSUE If no one will speak for: The American and Mexican People WE WILL!!! Do not believe it.] Some Fallacious [archaic] Malthusian Reasoning will not solve the nation's debts and deficits by massive population increments in US immigration. Insufficient income is provided by this massive immigration to cover the costs of "Baby-Boomer Retirement." The number of workers in ratio to retirees will be meaningless. The US Economy will be unable to produce the necessary wealth. Do the numbers!!! Another Way? Reconstruct the US High-Tech production-manufaturing Economy equals the vast wealth necessary! Invest! No immigration fix exists! Do the numbers!" The Economist
CONTROVERSIAL IMMIGRATION ISSUE Please see our Immigration Section and Mexico's Aristocracy Page etc. PLEASE; HAVE SOME FAITH. BE PATIENT. THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRISIS CAN BE EQUITABLY SOLVED TO EVERYONE'S SATISFACTION. BOTTOM LINE: The Mexican People are exploited WITHIN MEXICO then secondly within the U.S. So, is the U.S. Middle Class? HERE IS THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CONUNDRUM This is only our preliminary conclusion. Our research into: whether the US Middle-Class is shrinking, was either merely a trend or a reality, is pointing to dispiriting results. [Yet to be confirmed.] However, initial results, prove the Middle-Class is definitely shrinking across the Nation. Meaning more US citizens are being unceremoniously pushed into the category of the Working Poor. Indicating, of the 12 million illegal immigrants within the US, American citizens of the New Working Poor may need 8-10 million of those jobs - to survive - considering inflation etc. We reiterate this conclusion is preliminary. NOTE RESEARCH IS 30 MILLION NUMBER CORRECT? We are researching whether or not new data claiming 30 MILLION [not 12 MILLION] ILLEGAL immigrants are resident in the US. The 12 MILLION FIGURE APPEARS CLOSER TO REALITY. However, we could be incorrect. Why is this important? If the 12 Million figure proves correct, studies indicate approximately 4 MILLION OF THOSE POSSESS BIRTH CERTIFICATES FOR THEIR CHILDREN born in America. This proves their length of residence, and degree of objective contribution to our Nation. Also, meaning the remaining 8 MILLION could become part of a subsequent guest-worker program. That is, after the US provides sufficient employment for THE NEW WORKING CLASS -believed to be developing exponentially. However, if there are 30 MILLION illegal immigrants, then we simply do not understand, as of yet, if the USA can absorb them, and still provide for all its citizens.
CYNICAL PANDERING TO HISPANICS We are not angry. To the contrary, deeply disappointed by certain christian clerics misplaced support for illegal immigrantion. [Yes. Those who would never dare to vigorously oppose the evil subjugation of Mexican Citizens by the Mexico's Aristocracy = "Hacienda Harrys".], AND ESPECIALLY BY: VARIOUS LIBERAL POLITICIANS THE CYNICISM? The former seeking increased church attendee; the latter creation of a large voting block.
WHAT ABOUT AMERICAN CITIZENS AND "LEGAL" IMMIGRANTS?
However, our unspoken expectation, of the potential horrors of horrors is present REALITY!
The actualization of the mortgage forclosure issues tipped the ethical scales in our illegal immigration consensus: Nightmare of NIGHTMARES
MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES
on
THE MIDDLE-CLASS LOSS OF A US FAMILY'S HOME IS THE LOSS OF THE AMERICAN DREAM
FORECLOSURES INCREASED 90% OVER LAST YEAR
Our unspoken, however, worst fear was realized. When the price of a barrel of oil was being "speculated" to astronomical heights - unrelated even to monopolistic supply and demand standards. Of course, this would INFLATE the economy. We expressed serious concern, the FED would, of course, be required to intervene to raise interest rates - to slow the economy. In turn, these rate hikes would skyrocket adjustable mortgage home interest rates. The War against The Middle-Class further escalate. Middle-Class families - unable to meet their increased monthly payment - would be foreclosed upon by the banks. Yes. Here in America, people would LOSE THEIR HOMES!!! This reality is reminiscent of The Great Depression. Directly Put: For many The American Dream is dead! Impossible for them to own their own home; as they spiral downward into the New Working Poor Class. It is time for THE GREAT Rethinking - THE National CONVENTION - for The American People - Government and Business to decide our course for the 21st Century. It is either NOW; or, frankly, The American Middle-Class and The American Dream is lost!
P.S. This was the final reason for our ILLEGAL immigration conclusions.
Edited 06-19-2007 OUR SITE'S MINORITY VIEW NEVERTHELESS, AN INSISTENT MINORITY DEMANDed ITS PUBLICATION
[The Constitution protects minority and individual views.]
SEAL - NOT MERELY SECURE THE SOUTHERN BORDER
05-22-2007 THIS IS OUR SITE'S A MINORITY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTION VIEW, ANALYSIS AND PROPOSAL
THE MINORITY POSITION:
A level-playing field between US workers and slave-waged third world nations - is an impossibility. Immigration must be limited - during a 2 year moratorium. A period for the US to modify contemporary immigration anarchy.
THEREFORE: We advocate: 1. The Southern Border "not" be secured - but permanently sealed - for a two year period. "Securing" the border is an impossibility - a temporary delusion - not a permanent solution. To survive, America requires PERMANENT SOLUTIONS - not PIECEMEAL half-baked-half-measures. No wall is necessary, it will not secure the border permanently. Only effective provisionally - temporary answers we must oppose. 2. Additional ports of entry must be established to accommodate Trade. 3. All immigrant financial repatriations to Mexico must be immediately closed. [Let Mexico's Aristocracy [those HACIENDA HARRYS] solve - REFORM - their obscene dominance\tyranny over 50% of their Mexican Poor. Mexico is the richest nation in Latin America. Recently, loaned the US $38 Billion.]
CORE OF MINORITY PLAN:
A TERTIARY SYSTEM: THE MILITARY-MINING AND FENCING OF SOUTHERN BORDER:
A three-tiered border military-mining structure must be constructed "to seal" the border - assuring permanent security. THIS WILL CONSIST OF:
Staggered Three-Tiered lethally-mined fenced-in areas. Only accessible to the Border Patrol.
1. The first mined-fenced area designed to obstruct upper surface land illegal immigration. 2. The second fenced-in mined area would situate intermediate deeper mines accompanied by high-tech sensors . 3. The third area would be deep-mined to 100 feet; accompanied by sensitive sensors detecting tunneling.
BORDER AGENTS' REASSIGNMENT
4. Most border agents will withdraw from the border area. Their new assignment: to directly monitor profiteering illegal employers exploiting illegal immigrants. Stiff fines of $10,000.00 per illegal immigrant employed. 5. After stabilization of the border and the illegal crisis the border seal will be removed.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MANDATORY REGISTRATION: ACCOMPANIED BY LEGISLATIVELY GUARANTEED RIGHTS OF THE 12 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
6. Registering illegal immigrants will be granted a GRACE PERIOD of two years to earn a START-UP FUND. For a restart in their nation of origin. 7. Registering Illegal immigrants will be guaranteed THE RIGHT to reenter the US in accord with the requirements stipulated in proposed LEGISLATION. 8. 4 million illegal immigrants with US Children, will be allowed to remain, meeting the prerequisites of proposed legislation. WE MUST NOT BREAK-UP FAMILIES! 9. The remaining 8 million we be asked to step forward - register - participating in the prioritized methodology stated herein. Guaranteeing an excellent opportunity to reenter as legal immigrants. 10. Those who refuse to register, will be deported after due process. After passage of the 18 month to 24 months Grace Period, any illegal immigrant remaining within the US borders, is to be apprehended for trail by due process, and upon subsequent conviction deported. [Any nation refusing to accept the repatriation. of its citizens, will be denied access to all US markets. 11. After passage of the Grace Period, any US employer, their agents, management or other labor contractor, hiring or employing illegal immigrants, will be guilty of a first degree federal felony. Any entity convicted of such criminal intent will receive mandatory criminal sanctions: incarceration and fines.
Will most register? Yes. If they are legislatively guaranteed these rights in PRIORITY RE-ENTRY. Most of all, if they are treated with humanity - respect - with fairness and Justice guaranteed by our rule of law. With along-term, fair and specific opportunity to gain US citizenship.
12. Can we deport those who refuse to register? Absolutely, YES!
It is merely a matter of will and neceassary expenditure of funds. It is not a question of whether we should deport, we must deport, if necessary. Why? First, to retain the dignity of our sovereignty. However, the reality is the USA is being sold-off and sold-out PIECEMEAL, outsourced. Every day, more of the middle-class is falling into poverty. The ranks of the NEW WORKING POOR escalating !!! The Humbling Fact is: We will need these 8 million jobs for US Working Poor citizens, and legal immigrants. 13. Is this methodology draconian - extreme measures? Yes. However, Our nation is perched on the precipice of COLLAPSE. These are extreme perilous times for: the US standard of living; retention of our republican-democracy; saving The American Dream, The Rule of Law, The Constitution, our Freedoms - civil liberties.
14. OUR OBJECTIVE IS: not to be cruel to unfortunate exploited illegal immigrants. Instead, it is designed to stabilize our nation and labor force; and. then reopen the doors to subsequent legal immigration.
[More "MAJORITY" conclusions to follow] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is your opinion? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our concern is not our initial conclusions. Rather, whether our stance represents A HUMANE, FAIR, JUST treatment of illegal immigrants; in comparison to, OUR increasing US WORKING POOR. If not, what specific solutions do you propose?
Technology and the Convergence of U.S. Urban Migration Patterns: 1970–2000
KATHERINE F. BARTLEY1
ABSTRACTThe theoretical premise of this study is twofold. First, that industrial and occupational restructuring within three industries in the U.S.—manufacturing, finance, and high
technology—occurred because of technological developments and these, in turn, influenced the settlement patterns of working-age individuals. Second, that quality-of-life factors are
increasingly important for the migration decisions of workers as the importance of proximity to ports and raw materials declines.
As expected, the results show that high concentrations of high-technology and finance occupations generally have a positive pull for migrants, with younger migrants most attracted to
technology jobs. High concentrations of manufacturing jobs have a negative effect.
Most surprisingly, the explanatory power of the model declines substantially across the three decades. Both employment variables and proxies for quality-of-life variables lost
explanatory power for modeling age-specific in-migration to metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). Overall, the results support the industrial restructuring hypothesis, but do not find
support for the idea that quality-of-life factors have grown in importance.Submitted April 2004, revised July 2005, accepted October 2005.
