How do we solve the problems associated with immigration?

Well, there are two main camps, with two totally different solutions.

First there is the defenders of the status quote, who believe that the
system would work if more popular support were present

And there is the reformists, who believe that the policies in place now are 
unfair to citezen and imigrant alike.

The defenders of the status quote are many, and a vast majority are very 
credible.

Rob Guriwitt, writer for the magazine, Governing, has stated 
" When you have have a million new imigrants coming to your 
nation yearly, who in there right mind would expect that nation,
pay for welfare of those same people, even though most aren't 
supposed be here in the first place."

While Karen stone, reporter for The World Press Review, suggests that
"To stem the flow of terrorist, drugs, and imigrant's, the U.S. must adobt 
tough new imigration laws, like the ones in the European comunity."

And acording to a 12 page Orange County Grand Jury Report
"imigrants are linked with rising welfare cost, crime, spread of disease, 
deterioriation of schools, drug traficing, and a decrease in property
values."
 
Even our Govenor Pete Wilson has stated that "Imigrants are                     
sapping the economic vitality of our state. And should not be 
 able to recieve relief funds."

Here's some of the option's that are being considered....

 Increase the size of the I.N.S.
      
the current number of  I.N.S. agents, isn't  large enough to                         
even hope to catch a quarter of the Illegal immigrants that                          
come across the border.


End all social programs for illegal aliens
                 
With no hope of outside financial support, many                                        
 immigrants with no means of support, will not come.
                        
           
Add new restrictions to immigration, like, English proficiency 
tests, and proof of waiting employment.

If a immigrant  isn't proficient in the language, the                                      
chances  of  he or her becoming a burden to society is                                
much  greater.
                       
A person coming to this country based on just hope has a 
 far smaller chance of being prosperous than the person 
 with a job waiting.
          
On the other hand, many believe that many of societies ills are unjustly     
 blamed on  immigrants. And the inequities of naturalization. leads to        
 substandard living conditions for immigrant and citizen alike.

 The book Immigration Made easy states that total a maximum of              
 270,000 green cards are issued yearly.

Meaning that if there are only 270,000 legal immigrants yearly, the            
 remainder of the million people must be illegal.

Since most are undocumented workers,  These numbers mean that            
each year nearly a million immigrants will not pay income tax                   
until they  are naturalized. 

That  means the number of undocumented workers doubles  each year.

Making the undocumented worker a huge source of taxable                       
income, that remains untapped.

 If., this source were tapped, there would be enough money to                    
 more than cover the expense  of the current social programs 
  for illegal aliens.

 Peter Norton, author of the book Illegal Immigration No-
 one wins, Has written that "Most, people blame societies ills
 on the immigrant. When in truth, they are just as much victims                 
 of  the  system as any one else."  
                     
 He has also stated that "Most Americanss are under the false                    
  understanding that immigrantss are here for citizenshipp,                         
  but in reality most are here for work."  
             
        

He also goes on to state that " In the last twenty year's , 
 The trend of life longresidency is quickly becoming a thing of                  
the past.  70% of all currentimmigrantss will return to there                       
nation  of origin by retirement. Based on this figure, a large                       
majority of   immigrantss don't even require citizenship." 

Here are some of the options being considered.


Make resident alien work permits readily available.
 So immigrants will be paying there fair share of taxes.

Allow citizenshipp only  to those who have been documented as                
working aliens for 7 years.

   This way there is an incentive to become documented and pay                
   taxes.      

During the 7 years of residency, use part of the new tax money to make     
available programs that will both educate and assimilate immigrants.         
So there will be less of a chance that they will become a burden to             
society when they become a citizenn.  
    
Allow application of citizenship only to those who have completed the 
    required programs.

 Make the a large portion of taxes needed to pay for social programs         
for immigrantss, come from thetaxess collected from resident aliens.


IMPROVEMENTS, THAT CAN BE MADE.

1. With no one having reason to illegally cross the border, Border patrol    
     can concentratee on the illegal transport of drugs and contraband.

2.Immigrantss would no longer be forced move drugs as payment for        
   their passage.

3. American citizen would not have to pay such a high portion of their       
   taxes to help support immigrants.

4. Immigrants can be more accurately accounted for.
