House OKs Bill to Tighten Immigration Laws

The House acted Friday to stem the tide of illegal immigration
by taking steps to tighten border controls and stop unlawful immigrants from
getting jobs. But lawmakers left for next year the tougher issue of what to
do with the 11 million undocumented people already in the country.
[ed. Got to work out how they can fit them into next years election campaign
first...]
The House legislation, billed as a border protection, anti-terrorism and
illegal immigration control act, includes such measures as enlisting
military and local law enforcement help in stopping illegal entrants and
requiring employers to verify the legal status of their workers. It
authorizes the building of a fence along parts of the U.S.-Mexico border.
[ed. I was right, they are getting a new dune buggy...]
But it put off consideration of a guest worker program, which President
Bush and many in Congress say must be part of a lasting solution to the
illegal immigrant crisis.
The vote was 239-182, with opposition coming from Democrats and some
Republicans upset by the exclusion of the guest worker issue and other
Republicans wanting tougher border control measures.
[ed. The same way they can do it overnight in Iraq...]
Bush praised the House for approving the bill. "America is a nation built on
the rule of law, and this bill will help us protect our borders and crack
down on illegal entry into the United States," he said in a statement. "I
urge the Senate to take action on immigration reform so that I can sign a
good bill into law."
One measure that Republican leaders wouldn't allow a vote on was a volatile
proposal to deny citizenship to babies born in this country to illegal
immigrants.
The issue next moves to the Senate, where Majority Leader Bill Frist,
R-Tenn., says he will bring up immigration legislation in February that will
provide a framework for guest worker ideas.
[ed. We will discuss it in February, right now we've got highly urgent, pressing
and concerning matters to attend to - like getting the handicap down to
single figures...]
Nobody is advocating the deportation of 11 million illegal immigrants, said
Rep. Jeff Flake,
[ed. What an appropriate name, but he is wrong - many advocate removing the
11+ million illegals - get in the queue like everyone else...]
R-Ariz., sponsor of a guest worker measure. Without a temporary
worker program, he said, "We simply won't enforce the law, and that's the dirty
little secret here."
While many agree with Flake, there are wide differences on the details of a
guest worker program. Some lawmakers would require those in the country
illegally to leave before applying for such a program, arguing that
counterproposals allowing those already here to seek legal status is
equivalent to amnesty.
[ed. Surrender...]
Bush has proposed that undocumented immigrants be allowed to get three-year
work visas. They could extend those for an additional three years, but would
then have to return to their home countries for a year to apply for a new
work permit.
The House bill would beef up border security with the help of local law
enforcement and military technology, impose tougher penalties for smuggling
and re-entry, and end the "catch and release" policy for illegal
non-Mexicans. It makes drunken driving convictions a deportable offense.
The bill makes unlawful presence in the United States, currently a civil
offense, a felony. An amendment to reduce the crime from a felony to a
misdemeanor was defeated, with many Democrats voting against the proposal in
protest over subjecting people who have overstayed their visas to any
criminal charges.
The House also voted 273-148 to end the diversity visa lottery program
that's open to countries that send few immigrations to the United States.
Opponents said it was susceptible to fraud and could be a way for terrorists
to enter the country.
On Thursday, the House approved an amendment calling for construction of a
fence in parts of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
The most sweeping provision of the House bill would require all employers in
the country, more than 7 million, to submit Social Security numbers and
other information to a national data base to verify the legal status of
workers.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups protested this
provision as unworkable, while immigrant rights groups said some of the new
penalties were draconian.
By making it a crime to be present in the country illegally, said the
National Immigration Forum, foreign students who drop a class or high tech
workers who lose jobs and take too long to find a new employer sponsor would
be subject to arrest.
"A migratory reform that only addresses security will not resolve the
bilateral immigration problem," Mexican President Vicente Fox's
spokesman Ruben Aguilar said Friday. "It is indispensable to establish
legal, secure and ordered migration. Our countrymen make an enormous
contribution to the United States economy."
[ed. Correction, your countrymen make an enormous contribution to YOUR economy
- if it weren't for the freeloaders piling over the US border Mexico would be
like Zimbabwe - as for the USA it costs them billions to keep you...]
But sponsors, led by House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner,
R-Wis., and Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King, R-N.Y.,
insisted the bill was a needed step to restoring the integrity of U.S.
borders and re-establishing respect for the law.
The White House said in a statement that it strongly supported the House
bill, adding that it "remains committed to comprehensive immigration reform,
including a temporary worker program that avoids amnesty."
[ed. That's pollie-waffle for "it's all tooo damned hard and i get my pension
in a couple of years so you plebs can kiss my fat, rosy behind..."]
