Maybe I should run for Congress, I know I could do better than these people.

My plan for Immigration reform for my potential run for Congress.

Before I put on my hip boots and jump into this mess, let me tell you a couple of things about me.  I am a long time fiscal conservative republican and for now, I am using a pen name. This is intended as an open, respectable, forum with the hopes that maybe our leaders would read.  I will address one issue per blog, based on the feedback I get; well, let's see how it goes! Let the questions begin!

Mr. Canadate, how would you solve the immigration issue of almost 11 million illegal immigrants?

A)   Most European countries follow the principle of Jus sanguinis. In general, citizenship is conferred by birth to a parent who is already a citizen of that country, or by naturalization in in that country.  I believe there must be a change in USA policy... it's 2013, time for an immigration change...you are the citizen of your birth mother's citizenship....period.   effective immediately.

2)  Seal the borders shut, don't care if you have to put a soldier, deputy, police, ICE, every 3 feet.  Close the borders. Have open ports every 25 miles or deemed reasonable distances for legal immigration.

3) To the 11 Million or so here..I AM NOT KICKING YOU OUT!!!..Maybe through DMV or homeland security, you have 6 months to get a photo, thumbprint id, tax id number and proof of insurance.  You have 1 kid, 6, 12, I DON'T CARE. they stay with you. They get a photo, thumbprint card with your tax id number. Your children are eligible to public education up thru high school and just need to provide their id cards.

However

This is a work visa for an immigrant seeking US citizenship....you are on the path to citizenship, YOU  ARE NOT A CITIZEN, you are not entitled to foodstamps, welfare, or any other US citizen subsity provided/offered by any federal, state, or local agency to a US Citizen. 

You and your family must return to your native country and reapply for a work permit either the port entry or thru normal work permit channel for any of the following:

a) Failure to provide a blanket family healthcare policy ( $$ amount yet to be decided);

b) 12 months of concurrent unemployment; or

c)   Felony conviction, not arrest.

Now, there will be some issues, i.e. a child born here prior to the law change on citizenship. Under my policy, the child retains their US Citizenship. If there is another family household that is either in compliance with the work visa requirments or are US Citizen, the child can stay provided it is properly documented.

If the child is over 18, they are US Citizen. PERIOD.  They can go with the parrents or stay in the USA.

What say you???? It's a solid plan but my plan is not fixed in stone....thoughts???
