Border security and immigration control can be achieved without such draconian measures.
Title I, Section E is, however, generally sound. Funds can be much better spent than on interior enforcement, but it is agreed that a pilot program for notifying immigrants their visas are about to expire is a very good idea. This is a compassionate and sensible solution to preventing overstays.
Title II
Regarding Title II, we agree that more robust legal pathways for immigration are necessary, sound, and sensible. The Registered Provisional Immigrant program (RPI) outlined in Section A is superb idea, and none of the sub-sections infringe on any human rights. The $1000 penalty is just steep enough to be a deterrent, but not so much as to be inhumane to those who have been remiss. The security provisions and background checks are totally understandable, and are no more strident than what any citizen has to go through to receive their Global Entry or TSA pre-check. We especially appreciate the Section D Accelerated RPI path for DREAMers, which provides clear-cut rules for how this important cohort can achieve their goals and contribute to the future of our nation.
Similarly, the Blue Card system is a welcome boon to the current immigration model that creates artificial binaries between “legal” and “illegal.” These types of provisions say “no more” to such a rigid and senseless mentality. Many migrant workers have a lot to contribute to the American economy, and if allowed to stay under the blue card program would tremendously benefit the United States. Also of note is the Two Tiers for Merit-based Point System: which is a system that works well in other immigrant countries like Canada and Australia. The United States education system is failing our own students, and our economy is doomed for failure unless we welcome highly skilled workers from around the world. Similarly, the point-based system is used in other nations and has proven successful. These provisions fall under the rubric of Fairness Provision for Point System, which does not use immigration only as a means of attracting low-wage and…
The 'Reuniting Families Act' would also try to increase the current per country limit of 7% to 10% for the issuing of green cards. This bill, if passed, would also permit widows, widowers and children of those persons who die before the completion of the immigration process to get LPR status. (Shank, Michael Honda to Announce Key Component of Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Reuniting Families); (Reuniting Families Act-2009); (Honda, The
Yet the power shift on Capitol Hill -- away from the most vocal advocates of erecting more fencing and making illegal entry a felony -- doesn't ensure that Congress will create a new path to citizenship for the approximately 12 million residents with no legal right to be in the United States." (Edsall, 2007) From this point-of-view it is important that the groups involved in the process to be

S. bring large amounts of profit to the government by absolving it of paying the big wages it would pay to the citizens that are being replaced by the illegal immigrants.

(Heer, 22) What need to be understood is the fact that the immigration problem today is a part of the general environment in which it is found, and that the traditional immigration law enforcement strategies are actually encouraging an increase in the immigrant population, rather than discourage it. When a citizen of the U.S.A. thinks of an illegal alien, with images provided by the media, in previous years, it was
Amnesty: The Real Solution to Immigration Reform This paper serves two purposes. The first is to examine why amnesty is the lynchpin (or central factor) for creating sound and responsible U.S. immigration policy and the second is to argue that people who are unconditionally anti-amnesty are obtuse (or to use the word that's truly fitting: idiots) given the known facts about high deportation costs and near-impossible deportation logistics. To start with the
