The Senate put in last minute language that requires that the U.S. government “consult” with the government of Mexico before constructing any border fence or barrier. Foxes and henhouses come to mind here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley today said the immigration reform bill
\nbeing debated in the U.S. Senate is riddled with loopholes and flaws.
\nDuring a speech on the Senate floor, he outlined for the American people
\nnearly 30 flaws within only two sections of the bill. \u201cI was burned once in
\n1986 when I voted for amnesty believing that it would solve our problems.
\nNow, we have a 12 million illegal immigrant problem. I\u2019m not getting burned
\nagain,\u201d Grassley said. \u201cNot only do we have a glide path to citizenship,
\nbut it\u2019s a glide path with plenty of loopholes that don\u2019t meet the common
\nsense test.\u201d<\/p>\nGrassley has a number of amendments that would help fix the shortcomings in
\nthe bill. It\u2019s expected that debate on the bill will conclude this week.
\nHere is a list of Grassley\u2019s \u201cTop 10.\u201d<\/p>\n1. $2,000 Fine —
\nUnder the bill, an illegal alien can go from illegal to legal by paying a
\nsmall fine of $2,000. Often, illegal aliens will pay more than five times
\nthis amount to a smuggler to get across the border. Also, the $2000 fine
\nmay not have to be paid until year eight, which allows the illegal alien to
\nlive, work, and play in the United States for years free from deportation.
\nThis imposes a financial burden on the American taxpayer for health,
\neducation, and infrastructure costs that aren\u2019t reimbursed for five or ten
\nyears.<\/p>\n2. Taxes — Under the bill, illegal aliens get an option to only have to pay three of their
\nlast five years in back taxes. Law-abiding American citizens do not have
\nthe option to pay some of their taxes. The bill would treat lawbreakers
\nbetter than the American people. The bill also makes
\nthe IRS prove that illegal aliens have paid their back taxes. It will be
\nimpossible for the IRS to truly enforce this because they cannot audit every
\nsingle person in this country.<\/p>\n3. Security Clearances in 90 days \u2013 Under the bill, the Department of Homeland Security must
\nperform background checks on illegal aliens in the United States. It also encourages the federal government to complete the background checks on 10 million illegal aliens in 90 days. This is a national security concern
\nbecause Homeland Security will be pressured to complete these checks without
\ndoing a thorough job.<\/p>\n4. Work Requirements \u2013 Under the bill, illegal aliens must prove
\nthey\u2019ve worked in the
\nUnited States for three of the last five years. It also says they have to
\nwork for six years after the date of enactment of the bill. However, there
\nis no continuous work requirement for amnesty. They could work for 30 days,
\ntake off 30 days, work for 30 days. The bill also says that illegal aliens
\nhave to prove that they\u2019ve worked in the United States for three of the last
\nfive years by showing IRS or Social Security records, or records maintained
\nby federal, state, or local governments, employers, unions or day labor
\ncenters. However, the bill also allows illegal aliens to ask anybody to
\nattest that they have been employed. This invites fraud, and the government
\ncannot realistically investigate all these cases. <\/p>\n5. Confidentiality \u2013 Under the bill, if an illegal alien applies for
\namnesty, the federal government cannot use information provided in the
\napplication for anything but adjudicating the petition. For example, if
\nillegal aliens write in their applications that they are related to Osama
\nBin Laden, then our government cannot use that information. In fact, it
\nsays that the Secretary of Homeland Security can only share that information
\nif someone requests it in writing. This provision severely handicaps
\nnational security and criminal investigators. Also, if a federal agent does
\nuse information provided by an illegal alien in an application for amnesty
\nthe agent would be fined $10,000. This is five times more than the alien
\nhas to pay to get amnesty.<\/p>\n6. Social Security to illegal aliens — Under the bill, illegal
\naliens are not prohibited from getting credit for the money they\u2019ve put into
\nthe Social Security system if they\u2019ve worked in the U.S. illegally. Illegal
\nimmigrants who paid Social Security taxes using a stolen Social Security
\nNumber did
\nnot do so with the expectation that they would ever qualify for Social
\nSecurity benefits. (The Ensign amendment would have taken care of this, but
\nit did not pass.)<\/p>\n7. Employers get a tax pardon for hiring illegal aliens — Under the
\nbill, employers of aliens applying for adjustment of status \u201cshall not be
\nsubject to civil and criminal tax liability relating directly to the
\nemployment of such alien.\u201d Businesses that hired illegal workers would now
\nget off scott-free from paying the taxes that they owe the government. This
\nencourages employers to violate our tax laws and not pay what they owe the
\nfederal government. In addition to not having to pay their
\ntaxes, employers are also off the hook for providing illegal aliens with
\nrecords or evidence that they have worked in the U.S. The employer is not
\nsubject to civil and criminal liability for having employed
\nillegal aliens in the past, or before enactment.<\/p>\n8. Family Members of H-2C Visa Holder need not be healthy — Under
\nthe bill, spouses and children of H-2C visa holders are exempt from a
\nrequirement proving that they meet certain health standards. The visa
\nholder is required to undergo a medical exam, but their family members are
\nnot
\nwhich potentially puts Americans at risk.<\/p>\n9. Mandatory Departure isn\u2019t really Mandatory — Under the bill, the
\nSecretary of Homeland
\nSecurity \u201cmay grant\u201d Deferred Mandatory Departure to illegal aliens in the
\n2-5 year category. The Secretary \u201cmay\u201d also waive the departure requirement
\nif it would create substantial hardship for the alien to leave. <\/p>\n10. No Interview Required. \u2013 Under the bill, illegal aliens in the 2nd
\ntier who are required to leave the country can re-enter the United States on
\na visa. However, the bill does not require these individuals do not have to
\nbe interviewed. The bill doesn\u2019t give discretion to our consular
\noffices to require an interview. The 9\/11 hijackers weren\u2019t subject to
\nappear in person. Today, the State Department requires most applicants to
\nsubmit to interviews, and waives them only for children and the elderly.
