America’s Collection of Quasi-Amnesties
The Gray Area Between Legal and Illegal
By David North
CIS Memorandum, July 2011
http://www.cis.org/quasi-amnesties
Excerpt: While the immigration policy debate usually discusses amnesty or legalization programs in black-and-white terms, in reality there are numerous existing quasi-amnesties for subsets of aliens; this report focuses on four of them, all complex, all partial, three fully active and one partially so, and all providing significant economic benefits to aliens other than green card holders.

Immigration News: Some Good, Some Bad, Some Really New
By David North
CIS Blog, July 8, 2011
http://www.cis.org/north/good-news-bad-news-new-news
Excerpt: There has been an abundance of immigration news lately, some good, some bad, and some reflecting genuine new thinking. All related to issues covered in our previous blogs.
Good News. Perhaps the best news was the abject surrender of one of the largest H-1B users in the nation's school systems, that of Prince George's County Md., a Washington, D.C., suburb.

State Dept. Policy: No Mexican Left Behind
By Jessica Vaughan
CIS Blog, July 7, 2011
http://www.cis.org/vaughan/no-mexican-left-behind
Excerpt: The recent New York Times article celebrating the supposed end of illegal Mexican migration to the United States offers little to inform a discussion of the illegal immigration problem, but does usefully illustrate the extent to which legal and illegal immigration feed off of one another. (See here for my colleague David North's take on the article.) And, the article also recounts yet another example of the Obama administration's policy of amnesty by abuse of executive authority, this time by the State Department.

Napolitano Is Releasing a Border Strategy Tomorrow; Does Anyone Care?
By Janice Kephart
CIS Blog, July 6, 2011
http://www.cis.org/kephart/napolitano-border-strategy-7-11
Excerpt: Local TV in Arizona has reported that on Thursday, July 7, 2011, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, with Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan Bersin and Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske, will be announcing the 2011 Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy in Nogales, Ariz.
Ironically, I was just reviewing the 2010 'Implementation Update' for the 2009 Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy yesterday for a larger piece I am doing on the growing national security threat on our southwest border stemming from the uncanny connectivity between the Mexican drug cartels, arms trafficking, Hezbollah, the Colombian FARC, Venezuela's Chavez, and Iran. (I am an expert in a lawsuit on this, as are two former 9/11 staff, two CIA Mideast veterans, three high-level Iranian defectors, and a number of other court-recognized experts on Iran and terrorism. The legal documents for the case are here). Now that we have substantial proof that Iran helped train, plan, and support the terrorist travel of al Qaeda's 9/11 hijackers, Hezbollah's support of the cartels and easy access into the United States seems potentially more than just access by operatives to conduct the terror financing we know has gone on here for years. However, I divert.

As U.S. Gets More Like Mexico, More Mexicans Stay in Mexico
By David North
CIS Blog, July 6, 2011
http://www.cis.org/north/as-U.S.-gets-more-like-mexico
Excerpt:The New York Times' lead story this morning made an interesting case for what it sees as a decline in illegal migration from Mexico to the U.S.
But it played down a central element of the picture: the fact that the U.S., with its widespread poverty and huge wages gaps between the rich and the poor, is rapidly getting to be more like Mexico than in the past, so the Mexican poor no longer have as many reasons to want to come here. Being sensible, they stay home.

On Turning E-Verify 'Sprinkles' into 'Icing'
By Janice Kephart
CIS Blog, July 5, 2011
http://www.cis.org/kephart/everify-sprinkles
Excerpt: President Obama has half-heartedly stated that 'E-Verify can be an important enforcement tool'. This simple commentary, although riddled with predictable qualifications, is a huge step forward for a president silent on the subject until after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to uphold Arizona's E-Verify compliance law.
Perhaps seeing the writing on the wall, and well aware that he has no plan at all for his over-talked Comprehensive Immigration Reform, E-Verify may seem like something he should embrace. Even the most vehement opponent of E-Verify, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is now supporting House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) in his one big bid for immigration reform this year: mandatory E-Verify (H.R. 2164). With the Chamber no longer stridently seeking E-Verify's demise, the president was, up until last week, standing alone in his silence on this successful worker authorization tool, which I have shown to be 99.5 percent effective in my studies.

H-1B Cluelessness in the Shadow of Lady Liberty
By David North
CIS Blog, July 5, 2011
http://www.cis.org/north/H1b-teachers-NYC
Excerpt: School systems all over the country – well, some school systems – are deciding that it was not a good idea to hire nonimmigrant teachers from overseas in the H-1B program, and are not only not seeking new ones, but are beginning to think about laying off the old ones, as we noted in a recent blog.
The H-1B program has been primarily used for high tech workers, but there has been extensive employment of K-12 teachers through the program, as we reported in a CIS Memorandum this spring. Most school systems did not use the system, but many did, such as the ones in Prince George's County, Md., in Oakland, Calif., in New York City, and many in Texas and Louisiana.

HOW MANY ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE REALLY HERE?
In all the talks and discussions about cutting back on the US treasury deficits, both parties are refusing to consider in these antagonistic debates, the fact that illegal aliens are compounding this major issue; the dollar amount to the $14.5 Trillion dollars, in this miserable meltdown we are facing. The Department of Homeland Security estimated in 2003, that 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens had settled in America and 700,000 new people enter illegally and stay each year. That’s across borders, by lying at entry ports as tourists to the official. These administration statistics are somewhat suspect and may represent major under counting, as they are fashioned by the very people accountable for the tsunami of illegal aliens entering our country. An alternative method is used here to estimate a range of numbers of illegal’s that is probable more levelheaded.
The precise number of illegal’s entering the United States and the exact rate at which they cross our borders are unknown. Official government numbers are often hard to come by, remain intentionally concealed and are habitually sanitized, in the federal sector and states. This directed (CAPS) California for Population Stabilization to seriously question officials at the Census Bureau and (DOF) California Department of Finance, population figures on these numbers. As an alternative of the 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens these agencies and the liberal progressives claim to be here, there may actually be 20 million to 30 million or more? Nobody truly knows?
The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year; an average of $1,117 for every household in America and that’s just at the federal level. More truth and Statistics requested? Go to NumbersUSA or Judicial Watch.
Freshman Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) added his name to 14 different bills on Thursday that would reduce overall immigration levels and work to end illegal immigration.
* H.R.152 - a bill introduced by Rep. Ted Poe's to improve border security
* H.R.310 - a bill introduced by Rep. Sure Myrick that would prohibit federal funding to institutions of higher learning that provide in-state tuition to illegal aliens
* H.R.691 - a bill introduced by Rep. Phil Gingrey that would prevent mortgages from going to illegal aliens
* H.R.692 - a bill introduced by Rep. Phil Gingrey that would end Chain Migration
* H.R.693 - a bill introduced by Rep. Phil Gingrey that would require all businesses to use E-Verify within 60 days
* H.R.800 - a bill introduced by Rep. John Carter that would require all businesses to use E-Verify within 2 years
*
* H.R.1091, introduced by Rep. Duncan Hunter that would require DHS to construct 350 additional miles of border fencing
* H.R.1134 - a bill introduced by Rep. Duncan Hunter that would prohibit federal funds being sent to sanctuary cities
* H.R.1196 - a compilation bill introduced by Rep. Gary Miller, the LEAVE Act, that would end birthright citizenship, require nationwide use of E-Verify, improve interior enforcement, and discontinue rewards to illegal aliens
* H.R.1459 - a bill introduced by Rep. Sue Myrick, the Scott Gardner Act, that would increase penalties for illegal aliens caught with a DWI
* H.R.1698 - a bill introduced by Rep. Sue Myrick that would increase fines for employers that hire illegal aliens
* H.R.1764 - a bill introduced by Rep. Charles Boustany that would end sanctuary cities
* H.R. 2000 - a bill introduced by Rep. Heath Shuler, the SAVE Act, that would require all employers to use E-Verify and strengthen interior and border enforcement
* H.R.2164 - a bill introduced by Rep. Lamar Smith, the Legal Workforce Act, which would require all employers to use E-Verify.
American cannot afford anymore to support the poverty of other countries. The final straw was learning from the (FAIR) Federation of American Immigration reform that a volume amnesty would cost to process everybody with all the FBI background checks, health checks and the occupied paperwork over $2.5 trillion dollars. This is incorrigible when 13 million Americans are seeking work and this country, is still in a recession and unlikely to climb out of this $14.4 Trillion dollars financial chaos for years. Every American needs to rethink his vote for 2012. Not for Democrats, not for Liberals and not for Republicans, but for this Nation's People under the banner of the TEA PARTY.
This is the time to empty the overcrowded classrooms, full with the children of illegal aliens. Give hospitals breathing space saving billions of dollars from uninsured illegal immigrants, who knowingly enter by foot, vehicle, aircraft or boat into the United States. Entering illegally in a violation of our national sovereignty and should be a felony, for illegal aliens and those who knowingly break the rules, including businesses. Start the Attrition by enforcement programs such as E-Verify, Secure Communities and support Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Utah and States nationwide who have no choice but to restrict illegal immigrants through police laws as their welfare programs are being sucked dry.
Fearful illegal nationals are bypassing Arizona and loading their possessions, heading for Sanctuary States as California, Nevada, Illinois, Washington state and many counties within particular States.
