SECURE THE BORDER FIRST- BEFORE ANY IMMIGRATION BILL IS PASSED


THE KUHNS REPORT


LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

The immigration bill should be considered very carefully. Right now, as the bill stands it does nothing to prevent millions more of illegal aliens flooding across our borders. If the bill goes forward as it is currently written we Americans will have a repeat of the 1986 Amnesty fiasco. Back then,  Congress was considering the idea of deporting 3 million illegal aliens. My personal belief was that should have been done. Deporting the  3 million illegal aliens would have been a message to the entire world that we will not tolerate illegals  sneaking into the United States. But instead, President Ronald Reagan and Congress made the decision to give all of those illegal aliens amnesty promising us citizens that the borders would be secured to stop all illegal entries and there would be no other amnesty given in future.

The secure the border idea clearly did not work. Now we have estimates of 11  million illegal aliens in the country. I believe we have much more than that. I would estimate 13 to 22 million illegal aliens expecting another amnesty program.

I say no more freebies, gifts, give-a-ways, (no matter what you want to call them) until the borders are SECURE. Period! We, the people, cannot let 1986 repeat itself with empty promises by President Obama and Congress. Obama wants to grant amnesty which includes a path to citizen ship (to illegals) without first making  the borders secure. He violated his oath of office by not enforcing all of the immigration laws on the books to date. To prove that point, Obama has been running ads in Mexico telling the Mexican population that food stamps are available here for them and Obama's henchmen in the Senate blocked a Republican effort to  stop Obama advertisements in Mexico. I personally believe that no illegal alien or anyone expecting to receive citizenship  should be entitled to welfare, food stamps, free health care, education or any other benefit that a United States citizen is entitled to.

Supporters of "Secure the Border" crowd should look at this bill with a jaundiced eye because there are some politicians and lawmakers that believe that increasing the size of the Hispanics in this country will help their political ambitions.

Right now we have a "Gang of 8" making the decisions as to how immigration will be handled here in the USA. Hell if all we need is eight(8) people  deciding the fate of our country why do e need all the rest of those lawmakers on Capitol Hill? This gang of 8 crap happens on all types of  earth shattering legislation. We let our lawmakers put 8 people together to make decisions that affect the entire country. The rest of the Congress sits on their butts and vote along party lines instead of voting their own conscious in mass. What a way to run a country, right? And, it's usually the same old tired talking heads assigned to these "gang of 8" groups."

If we don't want to see a repeat of the 1986 amnesty program we have to stop the executive  branch from holding the power to say when the border is secure.

I say to have the border secure we need that border fence that was promised years ago. The fence should be the double fence running the full length of the Southern United States. The double fence should have a clean path between the two fences for Immigration vehicles and personnel to patrol. The fence should be well lit backed up by cameras and drones. There should be specific entrances for foot and vehicle traffic only. Those entrances should have Immigration Patrol stationed where each entrant or vehicle coming and going is checked through a government database verifying said entries.

Folks, we have  excellent data bases currently operational in our government. Our government can track and pay millions of people a year social security benefits on time each month, our states can track and pay  tens of thousands of retirees state, county and city benefits each month, same with our veterans. We can track and keep current on payments to people all over the world so what is the problem about tracking who comes and goes  across our border entry stations? I say, it's lack of will by our White House and Congress. We should know who is in our country at any given time.

To help insure the security of our borders we need to have the E-Verify system to make certain we know who is actually working on any job in the United States. Many large Agra companies and corporations have been against checking the immigration status of their employees.(They enjoy the cheap labor).  I say it is time for  the government to mandate that every employer, (no matter how large or small) has to  verify their employees citizenship and working status through the E-Verify system. No employee should be exempt. If every employee is checked through the E-Verify system there is no cause for anyone to say that a certain group or person is being singled out. If you are a legal and lawful resident working a job there should be no issue with having your identification checked out.

So, before this immigration bill is passed we should insist that our Southern border be  double fenced, with back up of electronics, lighting, additional immigration agents, cameras and  drones and each and every person applying and/or working a job in the United States be checked through the E-Verify System prior to employment and every year or so after that. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
