ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Senator Cornyn,
My program is:
1. Have a registration day for illegal immigrants. Each registrant pays a minimal fine and receives a guest worker card valid for 90 days. Renewal is based on enrollment in a certified English langauage course, application having been made for U.S. Citizenship, and having proof of employment.
2. Failure to adhere to any of the above, eliminates guest worker status and establishes illegality, for voluntary return to the country of origin.
3. Any illegal immigrant apprehended after registration day, is automatically sentenced to a U.S illegal immigrant detention camp for 6 - 12 months, under condition equivalent to jail in the home country. After serving time, he is returned to his home country.
4. Persons assisting in group immigration practices, preparing and supplying forged documents and or offerinfg employmet to illiegal immigrants are tried as felons.
5. Transfer of U.S funds to a foreign county must be supported by documents certifying U.S. citizenship or guest worker status. U.S. citizens and guest workers assisting illegal immigrants in the transfer of funds will be tried as felons.
While the law will be much more detailed, the above fundamental elements must be included. In addition, proper funding and attitude with respect to enforcing the law will be paramount.

Illegal Immigration - An Open Letter to the U.S. Senate
Dear Senate,
As a U.S. Citizen, I would like to continue living in a country, which operates on the "Rule of Law". Talk about amnesty for illegal immigrants flaunts that principle, since amnesty means to not apply penalties associated with law breaking. It is also a sociological fact that if one can ignore a law and not be penalized, it is then much easier to break the next law.
I have previously suggested a registration day for all illegal immigrants. Those who register are recorded as illegal immigrants with penalties associated with a misdemeanor. However, the penalties associate with the registration are minimal and include paying a fine, attending English class and registering as an applicant for citizenship. Those who do not register and are later apprehended are given jail terms of 6 months to a year in a facility equivalent in quality to that existing in their home country.
My votes for Senators Cornyn and Hutchison in the forthcoming elections will be based on how closely they adhere to the described immigrant registration program. Anything that can be considered amnesty will automatically eliminate my vote for reelection.
