Here is a link to the proposed legislation and 'talking points':
http://www.fairus.org/site/DocServer/true_enforcement_reference.pdf?docID=681.
The government’s lack of concern about illegal immigration – at the borders and inside
the country - and mass, uncontrolled legal immigration compromises our national
security and perpetuates our vulnerability to future terrorist attacks.
America is experiencing an immigration crisis
Illegal immigrants cost taxpayers nearly $70 billion/year in government outlays
for health care, education, jobs, housing and other programs. (FAIR report 2005)
The IRS estimates illegal workers cost our county $400 billion in unpaid taxes—a
number approaching the entire budget deficit for 2005.
In 1997 there were 18,000 worksite arrests of illegal workers. In 2003, that
number dropped to a frighteningly low 445 arrests. (DHS Office of Immigration
Statistics)
Illegal aliens hold 12 to 15 million jobs in the U.S.—8% of the employed are
illegal. (Justich, Robert, “The Underground Labor Force is Rising to the Surface,” Bear Stearns Asset Management Inc, January 2005)
Approximately 287,000 to 363,000 children are born to illegal aliens each year. In
California, 22% of all births are to an illegal alien. (Center for Immigration Studies,
2005)
Americans demand immigration reform
63% of Americans believe “current immigration” is a threat to national security.
(Rasmussen Report, 2005)
62% of Americans believe current immigration is a threat to the U.S. economy.
(Rasmussen Report, 2005)
76% of Americans say it’s too easy for people from other countries to enter the
U.S. (Rasmussen Report, 2005)
85% of Americans think illegal immigration is a serious problem. (Roper ASW, 2003)
75% of Americans want stricter immigration reform. (Pew Research, 2003)
80% of Americans believe we should restrict people coming into our country to
live more than we do now. (Pew Research, 2003)
TRUE Enforcement of our immigration system must be our first priority. This Act
gets its priorities straight. It is a no-nonsense approach to reform that makes us
more secure and best serves our national interest. It:
Secures our nation’s borders and fully polices our interior;
Empowers local police to enforce immigration laws;
Encourages states and local authorities to share information with the federalgovernment;
Forces the Department of Homeland Security to fully implement the
computerized entry-exit system, which allows us the track who’s crossing our
borders;
Funds thousands of new Border Patrol officers, immigration investigators,
attorneys, and immigration judges.
TRUE Enforcement removes incentives for illegal immigration. It:
Prevents employers from hiring illegal aliens (using a high-tech Social Security card and computer verification system);
Punishes employers and aliens who try to get around the system;
Restricts family reunification to nuclear family members;
Denies birthright citizenship to children born to illegal aliens.
TRUE Enforcement fights abuse of the system. It:
Stops illegal aliens from claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit;
Stops illegal aliens from collecting Social Security;
Stops employer tax deductions for wages paid to illegal aliens.
TRUE Enforcement punishes those who break the law. It:
Makes the presence of illegal aliens in the U.S. a crime;
Increases penalties for forging immigration and identity documents, and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship, etc;
Helps law enforcement deport aliens who are criminal gang members;
Creates criminal penalties for peddling Social Security cards;
Increases penalties for alien smuggling.
