ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU --- ASK WHAT ""YOU"" CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY JOHN F. KENNEDY ?Do Noncitizens Have Constitutional Rights? Attorney General John Ashcroft wanted the power to lock up immigrants suspected of terrorism and hold them indefinitely. Wouldn't this violate the Constitution? Not necessarily. True, the Bill of Rights applies to everyone, even illegal immigrants. So an immigrant, legal or illegal, prosecuted under the criminal code has the right to due process, a speedy and public trial, and other rights protected by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. This fact sheet from the National Lawyers Guild outlines a host of rights afforded to immigrants and citizens alike. (There are a few rights reserved for citizens. Among them are the right to vote, the right to hold most federal jobs, and the right to run for political office.) But immigration proceedings are matters of administrative law, not criminal law. (As a result, the consequence of violating your immigration status is not jail but deportation.) And Congress has nearly full authority to regulate immigration without interference from the courts. BECAUSE IMMIGRATION IS CONSIDERED A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND FOREIGN POLICY, THE SUPREME COURT HAS LONG HELD THAT IMMIGRATION LAW IS LARGELY IMMUNE FROM JUDICIAL REVIEW. CONGRESS CAN MAKE RULES FOR IMMIGRANTS THAT WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE IF APPLIED TO CITIZENS!!!!!!! In 1952's Harisiades v. Shaughnessy, the Supreme Court upheld the right of Congress to expel noncitizens who were former Communists. "In recognizing this power and this responsibility of Congress, one does not in the remotest degree align oneself with fears unworthy of the American spirit or with hostility to the bracing air of the free spirit," Justice Felix Frankfurter wrote in his concurrence. "One merely recognizes that the place to resist unwise or cruel legislation touching aliens is the Congress, not this Court." Still, immigrants facing deportation do have some rights. Most are entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge, representation by a lawyer (but not one that's paid for by the government), and interpretation for non-English-speakers. The government must provide "clear and convincing" evidence to deport someone (a lower standard than "beyond a reasonable doubt"). On the other hand, SOME IMMIGRAWNTS WHO ARE SUSPECTED TERRORISTS MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONFRONT THE EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM. In 1996, CONGRESS ESTABLISHED THE ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL COURT, A SECRET TRIBUNAL THAT CAN EXAMINE CLASSIFIED EVIDENCE. (Interestingly, Congress mandated in the same law that an immigrant tried by the terrorist court would have the right to counsel at government expense.) BUT THE ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL COURT HAS NEVER BEEN USED, AND A DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SPOKESMAN SAID HE ISN'T AWARE OF ANY PLANS TO USE THE TERRORIST COURT ANY TIME SOON. Next question? Explainer thanks Jeanne Butterfield, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association; immigration lawyer David Leopold; Russ Bergeron of the Immigration and Naturalization Service; this American Civil Liberties Union report; and Dan Nelson of the Department of Justice. ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL written by a LEGAL Immigrant of Mexico!! I can almost assure you that everyone who is a true American was sickened when you saw Multitudes of protesters carrying Mexican flags protesting the new Immigration Reform Bill in the Senate. This display of Mexican flags should give you a heads up on where these protesters allegiance lies their hearts are in Mexico and their bellys are in the United States. As an American of Mexican Heritage I want to set the record straight, American Hispanics are not all thrilled with illegal immigration. I, for more than 20 years, tried Desperately to bring this national debacle to the attention of the American people. I had the privilege of writing for several newspapers, appeared on national and local TV and radio programs, and was asked by many political groups to address this serious problem affecting my former community (north Fort Worth), city, state, and our country. Many will question how I can speak on this subject with some authority. My simple answer is: I lived with the problem! Trust me, it was no picnic. Never in my life (I'm 68) had I witnessed the lawlessness, the deterioration of my community, and the black market criminal underground activities attributed to the influx of illegal immigrants. To add injury to insult, politicians soon caved in to the many demands of illegal immigrants. Notably: bilingual education, bilingual ballots, welfare aid, free medical care, etc. Through all this national disgrace allowed by our politicians, have you all noticed? No one ever blames the useless, corrupt, and disgraceful government of Mexico? In contrast, they lambaste and criticize our country. How does that grab you? When I addressed the dangers of our porous border between Mexico and the United States, and the lax security of our nation, no one paid attention. As I observed the situation, the problem was perceived to be between American Hispanic communities and illegal immigrants. White Americans it seemed assumed that the problem was not theirs to deal with. In other words they were, asleep at the wheel. However, 9-11 soon woke them up. Let's be honest with each other here, white Americans vote in far larger numbers than Hispanics do. And most politicians (Democrats and Republicans) in our city, state, and federal governments are white. Thus, who is more suited to fix this national disaster? I'm sure most of you know what the answer is. In summation, I'm pleading with white American voters to join me in sending our politicians (Democrats and Republicans) a strong message that we will not tolerate illegal immigrants telling us how to make government policy that will make it easier for them to break our laws. Hope you will join me in this endeavor in our upcoming elections. > > James H. Reza > 4204 Grand Lake > Lake Worth, Texas 76135 > > > Please pass this on...it just might get to > The other Veterans and VFW, American Legions and to those that truly believe that we will not give our country away.

Edwards, Jr. "President Bush proposes not a "rational middle ground" but surrender..." The bottom line on President Bush's televised address on immigration Monday evening is this: For all of its five parts for achieving "comprehensive immigration reform," there wasn't enough lipstick -- nor mascara, rouge, blush or other cosmetics -- to disguise that Mr. Bush was selling an amnesty pig. Most offensive was his implication that Americans aren't enough of a welcoming people if they reject the Bush-McCain-Hagel mass amnesty. The United States has the most generous -- overly generous, in fact -- immigration policy in the world. Mr. Bush stooped to the low tactic of implying our great generosity isn't generous enough. On the border security part of the speech, Mr. Bush might have been more believable had the press not been filled beforehand with his assurances to Mexican Presidente Fox. Mr. Bush essentially told his buddy Vicente that the National Guard deployment was sufficiently weak and encumbered that illegal aliens and smugglers will hardly notice. If Mr. Bush were sending 60,000 or 600,000 instead of 6,000 troops and it was the Army and Marines with "shoot-to-kill" orders, tanks and helicopters instead of the National Guard for a purely "support" role, he might gain some credibility. If Mr. Bush, instead of coddling Mexico, gave Mr. Fox a bold warning to stop Mexican soldiers, gangsters and police from shooting at our Border Patrol and crossing into our country "or else," that would be the right message. It's hard to take seriously an administration that has consistently undermined real immigration enforcement: + The Bush administration shut down the very effective NSEERS alien registration program, which deported 1,500 illegal Pakistani residents but sparked the self-deportation of 15,000. + It chopped off interior Border Patrol sting operations where a handful of officers caught some 400 illegal aliens in short order. + It put the highly effective Native American "Shadow Wolves" out of business. + It virtually stopped employer sanctions enforcement -- citing just three companies in 2004 for hiring illegal aliens. + It radically pared back the sending of “no-match” letters to employers when an employee Social Security number and name donÂ’t match (mostly indicating Social Security number fraud by illegal aliens). + Administration lobbyists have routinely opposed the local law enforcement-empowering CLEAR Act and Homeland Security Enhancement Act behind closed Capitol Hill doors, and continued the sorry practice of refusing to cooperate with state and local police who capture illegal aliens during routine policework. The President now endorses rewarding illegal immigrants with a path to U.S. citizenship. This is the ultimate reward for lawbreaking. Whether they're legalized in one fell swoop or amnestied on the installment plan, the Bush-Senate approach is still plain old letting the lawbreakers keep their ill-gotten gains and heaping more benefits upon them -- precisely on account of their lawbreaking. President Bush proposes not a "rational middle ground" but surrender. He should learn from the 1986 IRCA amnesty. That legislation granted amnesty to practically all illegal aliens with the same basic "keep your nose clean, study English" kinds of conditions. It also had border and employer sanctions measures -- mostly based on empty promises and half-measures that "balanced" interests and tied the hands of meaningful enforcement. As we all should know by now, only the amnesty part "worked." It legalized 3 million lawbreakers, inspired massive fraud and abuse, sparked massive illegal immigration waves that have now at least quadrupled the illegal population, swelled chain migration and harmed the welfare of American citizens. The President and the Senate are again taking the same failed approach. The results should now be easily predictable and as harmful. As the Heritage Foundation's welfare expert Robert Rector estimates, the Senate's "compromise" amnesty bill will increase legal immigration by 103 million over the next two decades. It will cost taxpayers at least $46 billion a year. Hagel-Martinez's S. 2611 is so bad that Rector calls it "the largest expansion of the welfare state in 35 years." By contrast, the House bill, H.R. 3466, tries something different. It takes a strategy of attrition, causing illegal aliens to self-deport and diminishing the influx of illegal immigrants. That is, the House acts sanely and rationally. The political dynamics of this situation resemble those of when the President's father broke his "no new taxes" pledge. He tried to get Republican lawmakers to go along with him -- many of whom had made the same campaign pledge. The White House twisted arms and browbeat legislators in the name of party loyalty. Those who stood up to the elder Mr. Bush won re-election while many of the compromisers lost their races. The wise in Congress will tell Mr. Bush, "Read my lips, no amnesty-guestworker."

Immigration Bill To Collect American Info The Raleigh Chronicle (N.C.) : May 18 , 2007 -- by Elliott West "If the bill passes, the most basic and private personal information about where American citizens work, their past work history, their birthdays and social security numbers will be called in to the government every time they apply for a job." Although a new immigration bill that was passed by the United State Senate addresses illegal immigration, some components of the bill will definitely benefit the Internal Revenue Service and other government agencies by tracking all sources of wages and compensation by American workers, even those who are legally American citizens. The controversial new Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 has already been passed by the Senate at the end of April and is headed to the US House of Representatives. Both Senator Richard Burr (R) and Elizabeth Dole (R) voted against the much-debated bill. The bill will make it illegal to hire anyone for any work in the US for paid wages, unless both the worker and employer complete the new registration requirements, including providing the employee's work history for the past five years even if they are American citizens each time they apply for a job. "It is unlawful for an employer...to hire, or to recruit or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an individual unless such employer meets the requirements of subsections (c) and (d)," says the bill referring to the new document rules and "electronic verification" systems. The new $400 million "employment verification" component of the extensive bill would add new electronic registration requirements for all American citizens who do work for compensation and even American employers as well. As it stands, the new bill would require all employers to "register" with the federal government and report the data for new employees to the government within three days of hiring them. As such, the bill would fill in one of the last gaps in the government's tracking of wages, by making it a potential criminal or civil offense not to inform the government that a worker is receiving compensation of some sort, under the hubris of national security. According to section Section 274A of the of the bill, no employer would be exempt from having to register with the government and also having to verify the status of each of their new employees. The new requirements would go into effect 18 months after the electronic verification system has been created. "The Secretary shall require all employers in the United States to participate in the System," says the text of the bill. Although future details may change, even hiring your neighbor's kid Johnny to mow your lawn could become a long and detailed process and if you didn't follow the rules, you could get a knock at your door from Homeland Security. First, you would have to register as a employer under the program and then call a 1-800 number with several items of information about the potential new employee (even if they have proper ID or an American passport). Each time an employer hires someone, they would have to phone in (1) their own EIN or social security number if they are an individual (2) the social security number of the new employee (3) the state of birth of the new employee (4) the EIN number or social security number of every single place the new employee has worked in the last five years (5) and the date of birth and address for the potential new employee. Then you'll need to wait up to 10 days to receive an answer about whether or not Johhny is approved for work in the US. Be sure to save the authorization codes given to you by the government if he is approved and also save all of the paperwork for three years or you could have to pay a large fine. Even if you hired him for only one day's worth of work, you'll need to save his application forms and approval codes for at least one year, says the bill. And don't forget, under the new proposals, be prepared to give Johnny your own social security number so that he can use it the next time he applies for a job -- he'll need it under the new law for the next five years each time he applies for a job. That provision will certainly help the government in making sure that they know not only where he worked this year, but everywhere else he has worked too. Hopefully, no one that you hire will steal your identity in the process even though they have your social security number. Of course, all of the information is to be housed in a database created by the Social Security Administration that will be shared with the Department of Homeland Security, which has the authority to initiate investigations into all employers who don't participate in the system, including those who pay Johnny to mow their lawn. The Department of Homeland Security can receive "taxpayer identity information of each person [from a report which]...contains evidence of such person's failure to register and participate in the Electronic Employment Verification System." As such, they can initiate an investigation into any person who doesn't comply with the mandatory electronic reporting system whether they are an employer or employee. In a similar version of the bill seen in 2005, Homeland Security would have been able to investigate any employee unlucky enough to have two different companies call in with the same social security number. However, it seems that in the new version, it was realized that some people actually have more than one job as that text has been eliminated. Of course, the government will only use the information for its intended purpose -- to stop illegal workers from getting jobs. "The System shall collect and maintain only the minimum data necessary to facilitate the successful operation of the System," says the bill's text. However, as stated earlier, a provision in the bill indicates that other branches of the government may benefit from the new database as well. "Nothing...may be construed to limit the collection, maintenance, or use of data by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue or the Commissioner of Social Security as provided by law," says the proposed law. As seen before in Washington DC, there may be collection of data for a stated purpose -- in this case it's to fight illegal immigration -- but it seems evident that the opportunity to collect of data on US citizens is not going to be passed up once again. If the bill passes, the most basic and private personal information about where American citizens work, their past work history, their birthdays and social security numbers will be called in to the government every time they apply for a job. |
