A RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO S 744 AMNESTY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glynn County Republican Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 6, 2013<\/p>\n

Executive Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

IT IS RESOLVED BY THE GLYNN COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE (\u201cGCRC\u201d) that \u2013
\n(1)\tThe GCRC expresses no confidence in the federal government to competently implement or enforce the provisions of S. 744, and
\n(2)\tThe GCRC demands that both Georgia Senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson adhere to the core principles of the Republican Party and vote in opposition to whatever version of S. 744 is finally presented on the floor of the United States Senate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHEREAS the members of the Glynn County Republican Party are offended by the
\n \tinaccuracies and the apparent intentional obfuscation in the various promises
\n \tand commitments made by the \u201cGang of Eight\u201d and specifically, by Marco
\nRubio and others, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the members of the Glynn County Republican Committee, based on a
\n \tunanimous vote of its membership, expresses NO CONFIDENCE in the United
\nStates Government and its ability to fulfill and satisfy ANY commitment regarding the immigration situation in this country, based on a long history of failure and of unfulfilled promises, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS on May 21, 2013, Rebecca Gambler, Director of Homeland Security and
\nJustice Issues for the Government Accountability Office, testified in a hearing before a House Subcommittee that, after two years of searching, the Department of Homeland Security, with more than 240,000 employees and an annual budget of more than $ 60 BILLION, could not locate almost 300 illegal overstays \u201cwho could pose national security or public safety concerns\u201d, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the Simpson Mazzoli amnesty was passed in 1986 and the United States
\n \tCongress promised the American people that the borders would be secured. In
\n \tfact, one of the principal architects of that amnesty, Senator Ted Kennedy was
\n \tquoted as follows :<\/p>\n

\tThis amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will
\n\tsecure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another
\namnesty bill like this. (emphasis added)<\/p>\n

WHEREAS almost seven years have passed since President Bush signed a border
\nsecurity law calling for the creation of an almost 700 mile physical barrier to be constructed on the southern border of the United States, and now the \u201cGang of Eight\u201d promises ONLY that the \u201chigh risk\u201d areas will be subjected to \u201ceffective control\u201d, with such control to be determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS various studies have estimated that as high as forty (40 %) of the illegal
\n \taliens in this country are a direct result of previously legal immigrants over
\n \tstaying the time granted under their respective visa, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the law requiring an entrance and exit system for the purpose of tracking all
\n \tforeign travelers is known as the U.S. VISIT program and has existed since
\nimmediately after the attacks of 2001, and
\nRESOLUTION \u2013 Opposition to S. 744
\nGlynn County Republican Committee
\nPage two<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 does not address the national security weakness that has been the
\n \tdirect result of the failure of the President of the United States to enforce the exit
\nportion of the U.S. VISIT law and S. 744 does not require a biometric exit system at all land, air and sea ports of entry to track aliens who enter and leave the U.S. per current law, and <\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 does not secure the border or strengthen national security. Instead,
\nthe bill rewards law breaking and encourages more illegal immigration, and <\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 allows DHS to grant legal status (Registered Provision Immigrant, or
\nRPI status) in 6 months, before any measure to secure the border has been taken, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 does not require any additional border fencing or completion of
\n \tcurrent border fence requirements. Instead, it requires DHS to submit to
\n \tCongress a fencing strategy in which DHS recommends what additional fencing
\n \tis needed along the U.S. \u2013 Mexico border, if any, and <\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 does not improve immigration enforcement or public safety. Instead,
\nthe bill undermines immigration enforcement and is riddled with waivers and loopholes, such as allowing DHS to waive a broad array of unlawful behavior for the purpose of determining whether illegal aliens are admissible, including :
\n\u203a Gang related crimes and gang membership;
\n\u203a Three or more drunk driving offenses;
\n\u203a Domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, and violation of protective orders;
\n\u203a Committing crimes or moral turpitude;
\n\u203a Violating federal or state drug laws;
\n\u203a Trafficking in passports;
\n\u203a Providing fraudulent immigration services;
\n\u203a Trafficking immigration documents, including document fraud;
\n\u203a Prostitution;
\n\u203a Misrepresenting a material fact to procure visas or other immigration benefits;
\n\u203a Violating student visas;
\n\u203a Falsely claiming citizenship;
\n\u203a Illegally re-entering the U.S. after deportation (which is a felony);
\n\u203a All other grounds NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED IN THE BILL. (emphasis
\n added)<\/p>\n

RESOLUTION \u2013 Opposition to S. 744
\nGlynn County Republican Committee
\nPage three<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 delays implementation of E-Verify to appease big business and
\nillegal workers. The bill provides that mandatory E-Verify won\u2019t go into effect for all employers until four years after DHS issues regulations implementing the mandatory program. That means (based on the amnesty timeframe) it could be at least a decade before E-Verify becomes mandatory for large companies and 14 years before all employers are phased into the program, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 voids state and local E-Verify laws, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 does not require the deportation of a single illegal alien. DHS is
\nnever required to deport an alien whose RPI application is denied \u2013 for any reason, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 allows immigration judges to ignore U.S. immigration law, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 allows the Secretary of DHS to ignore U.S. immigration law, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 does not prioritize the American worker at a time when 22 million
\nAmericans are unemployed or underemployed, and <\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 triples the number of so-called skilled (H-1B) guest workers who
\n \tmay enter the U.S. Annually, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the Bureau of Labor Statistics (\u201cBLS\u201d) projects job openings in the Science,
\nTechnology, Engineering and Math (\u201cSTEM\u201d) fields for the period of 2010 to 2020 to approximate 2,540,000, while the National Science Foundation and the Department of Education has projected the number of STEM degrees to be awarded during the same time frame to approximate 3,900,000, clearly demonstrating that the huge increase in the H-1B workers under S. 744 is NOT NECESSARY, and <\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 increases the number of guest workers by 50 percent over the
\n \tdecade after enactment, and <\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 creates a new unskilled guest worker program, through a new W
\n \tvisa, to bring in up to 200,000 additional workers each year, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 does not prevent American taxpayers from being forced to subsidize
\n \tillegal immigration, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 allows DHS to grant legal status (RPI) in 6 months, and
\nRESOLUTION \u2013 Opposition to S. 744
\nGlynn County Republican Committee
\nPage four<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the Department of Health and Human Services (\u201cHHS\u201d) has acknowledged
\n \tthat \u201cmany states frequently extend family benefits to anyone who is \u2018lawfully
\n \tpresent\u2019 in the United States\u201d, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the United States is technically insolvent, with a stated debt of almost $ 17
\n \tTRILLION, and an unfunded liability in excess of $ 100 TRILLION, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the Heritage Foundation has estimated that S. 744 will increase the stated
\n \tdebt of the United States by more than $ 6.3 TRILLION, and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the Glynn County Republican Committee believes that it is unconscionable
\nthat any elected Republican would vote to INCREASE the debt of the United States, and <\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 exacerbates the chronic problem of \u201cChain Migration\u201d, which could
\npossibly result in an influx of as many as 15 million workers granted amnesty under the provisions of the bill, and another 35 to 40 million relatives and extended family members of those being granted legal status (RPI), and<\/p>\n

WHEREAS S. 744 does not address the problem of \u201canchor babies\u201d, which for a proper
\nunderstanding, one must refer back to the Fourteenth Amendment which was originally enacted to ensure the civil rights of newly freed slaves after the Civil War. The author of the phrase \u201c\u2026subject to the jurisdiction thereof\u2026\u201d, which gives rise to the current practice of granting citizenship to babies born in this country, was Senator Jacob Merritt Howard of Michigan, and Senator Howard noted that the jurisdiction requirement is \u201csimply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already.\u201d Senator Howard continued and wrote \u201c\u2026this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.\u201d In light of the statements made by the originators of the Fourteenth Amendment, it appears clear that the authors intended ONLY to grant citizenship to persons born here who were also \u201csubject to the jurisdiction\u201d of the United States. The Supreme Court has never decided the issue, and therefore, it remains up to Congress to clarify the Fourteenth Amendment.
\nRESOLUTION \u2013 Opposition to S. 744
\nGlynn County Republican Committee
\nPage five<\/p>\n

WHEREAS the Glynn County Republican Committee believes that the United States
\nimmigration policy should be based on the following priorities :
\n1.\tAmerica\u2019s immigration system must be a national strength and not a strategic vulnerability, and absolute border security is essential.
\n2.\tThe rule of law requires the fair, firm, and consistent enforcement of the law, and immigration is no exception.
\n3.\tAmnesty is NOT the answer. Those who enter, remain in, and work in the
\ncountry illegally are committing an ongoing violation of our immigration laws.
\n4.\tEach nation has the responsibility and obligation to determine its own conditions for immigration, naturalization, and citizenship, and the federal government must complete the following :
\n\t\ta.\tProvide for the common language;
\n\t\tb.\tClarify birthright citizenship;
\n\t\tc.\tProtect the integrity of the legal immigration process
\n\t\td.\tImplement the US-VISIT program.
\n5.\tImmigration policy should be a fiscal and economic benefit not only for
\n \t\timmigrants, but also for the nation as a whole.
\n6.\tAny temporary worker program must be, by definition, temporary, market
\n \t\toriented and feasible.
\n7.\tAny proposal that subjects this country to an enormous unfunded liability should be rejected irrespective of ANY other consideration. <\/p>\n

WHEREAS the federal government has, for at least the past 27 years, demonstrated
\nthat it is NOT CAPABLE of enforcing the existing immigration laws of this country, and therefore,<\/p>\n

IT IS RESOLVED BY THE GLYNN COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE (\u201cGCRC\u201d) that \u2013
\n(1)\tThe GCRC expresses no confidence in the federal government to competently implement or enforce the provisions of S. 744, and
\n(2)\tThe GCRC demands that both Georgia Senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson adhere to the core principles of the Republican Party and vote in opposition to whatever version of S. 744 is finally presented on the floor of the United States Senate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
