EU CRACKDOWN ON ILLEGAL LABOR
Brussels Proposes Tougher Penalties Against Employers

The European Commission is hoping to tackle the “pull” factor in illegal immigration by imposing harsher penalties on the employers of undocumented workers. The measures include bans on public contracts and subsidies, increased fines and possible jail sentences. DPA

Around half a million people arrive in the EU each year illegally ( Note from D.A. – only half a million a year? Lucky them). Now the European Commission wants to tackle the problem by hitting the employers of illegal labor with tough penalties.

The European Commission wants to impose much harsher penalties on those who employ illegal immigrants, including prison sentences, a bar on public contracts and the removal of EU subsidies…

Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini is presenting his colleagues with the proposal to tackle illegal employment on Wednesday in Brussels. The draft legislation includes barring offenders from public procurement contracts for five years, and forcing them to reimburse EU subsidies. Employers would also be made to pay for their illegal workers’ flights home. The worst offenders, such as those involved in human trafficking, could face jail time or much tougher fines, although it would be up to individual EU countries to decide on the specific penalties. The plan also calls on member states to ramp up their annual inspection rates of companies.

This is less than half of it..read more here.

Below are two links to online video from Chattanooga TV – it seems that this TV station has discovered the illegal immigration/employment issue. The reporter drove more than an hour from Chattanooga to my home in Marietta and got more than 20 minutes of tape.

The final result is what we call “typical”…and somewhat comical. Judge for yourself, but from here it is same-old same-old nonsense from the, in this case, clueless media. YES. I understand the “face for radio” lines and agree.

The ABC’s of ID for immigrants in the U.S.

NATIONAL
CONFERENCE
o f
S TAT E
L E G I S L ATURES

By Katherine Gigliotti and Ann Morse
Introduction

The federal government controls the terms and conditions for the foreign-born to become permanent or
temporary residents of the United States. Under the nation’s complex immigration laws, the Department
of State issues visas for permanent immigrants, nonimmigrants (i.e., temporary immigrants) and other
immigrant categories, from ambassadors to victims of trafficking. There are 79 categories and subcategories
for temporary visas alone. The length of stay in the United States, which depends on the type of visa
issued, can vary from a few days for visitors; up to 10 years for diplomats, foreign media, or students; and
permanent, for those who are joining family or filling specialized jobs. At ports of entry, the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) verifies the identity of visa holders against one or more databases, checking
for terrorist or criminal activity. DHS also enforces immigration law by preventing illegal entry at
borders and airports, deporting violators, and monitoring compliance with visa terms.
States issue driver’s licenses under the constitutional authority of the Tenth Amendment; the first driver’s
license laws were enacted in Massachusetts and Missouri in 1903. States and the District of Columbia
license more than 191 million drivers.
After the September 11 terrorist attacks, both the federal and state governments acted to strengthen the
integrity of identity systems (documents, databases, issuance and enforcement). The 19 terrorists identified
in these attacks had entered the United States legally with valid passports and on temporary visas, and
many subsequently were able to obtain state driver’s licenses. In response, the federal government reformed
the student visa process, launched an entry-exit system for noncitizens who enter the United States, and
began integrating various databases to connect criminal and terrorist lookout capability.
States also responded to the need to improve ID security. States reformed processes related to issuance…

This is a good, if somewhat dated basic information package. Read the rest here.

All: the quotes below are from several sources, below them, I have extracted language from three separate bills in Washington. The first one s 2611 PASSED last year, without a whiff of conversation about the language I have highlighted. The other two are pending.

You can bet that any “Grand Compromise” bill would have the same language.

ANY LEGALIZATION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS IS AMNESTY!

Talking about a common NORTH AMERICAN Security perimeter and eliminating the requirement for “visas” on the continent for citizens of the three countries…the game is open borders.

See my AJC column here for added info.

Please decide for yourself and then call your U.S. Senators and your Congressman and ask why you are hearing about this from me… and not from them. Please.

Here for contact information. Here for Senators outside Georgia.

“The ultimate goal of any White House policy ought to be a North American economic and political alliance similar in scope and ambition to the European Union,” opined an Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial on September 7, 2001. “Unlike the varied landscapes and cultures of European Union members, the United States, Canada and Mexico already share a great deal in common, and language is not as great a barrier. President Bush, for example, is quite comfortable with the blended Mexican-Anglo culture forged in the border states of Texas, California and Arizona.”

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Mexican President-elect Vicente Fox predicted a future in which people will move freely across the 2,100-mile border between Mexico and the United States by 2010. Baltimore Sun, July, 2000

A 2005 Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) document, called “Building a North American Community,” asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin “committed their governments” to this goal when they met at Bush’s ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” and assigned “working groups” to fill in the details.

It was at this meeting, grandly called the North American Summit that President Bush referred to the volunteers guarding our Arizona border as “vigilantes”.

“What we need to do now is forge a North American Community” Robert Pastor, architect of the Security and Prosperity Partnership ( SPP) of North America and author of the pre-9/11 book, Toward A North American Community”…to a June 9, 2005 U.S. Senate U.S. Foreign Relations Committee (Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere)

“There Shall be Open Borders”…a recurring 1984 Headline in the Wall Street Journal in its proposal for a five word amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Americans with the temerity to speak up in objection to Mexican customs inspection offices in Kansas City, the “Amero” replacing the dollar and a North American Union by 2010 should prepare for a battery of invectives containing “phobes,” “ists” and “isims.”
“The more politically correct may want to practice repeating,” ‘I pledge allegiance to the Continent and to the Commerce for which it stands. Suggestions for a possible new flag, anyone?” D.A. King in the AJC, June, 2006

The excerpts from three pieces of federal legislation on the three following pages come from the U.S. Senate’s 2006 Comprehensive Immigration Act.( s 2611) and this year’s Flake Gutierrez House bill,(the Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy (STRIVE) Act – HR 1645… and s 1348 2007

Will you Republicans quickly call GOP offices and talk about the political suicide?

DEAR REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF NUMBERSUSA,

A close Republican Congressman has shared these quotes from major news sources.

Please phone all the Republican offices you can this afternoon and then again Wednesday morning and talk to them about one or more of these quotes and how any Republican who votes to add another 30 million or so immigrants the next 20 years is politically suicidal.

Because most immigrants are poor, most end up voting with and for the Party that does more income redistribution. Immigration always has and still does provide a substantial net gain each year to Democratic voting registration.

THESE ARE ALL QUOTES FROM NEWS SOURCES

Top Democratic leaders and activists see Hispanic migration as a long-term opportunity for the party. The arrival of additional immigrant workers is “bad for blue-collars,” Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, told National Journal late last year. But immigrants can help elect Democratic majorities, and “if [a Democratic Congress> were to significantly strengthen unions, then you would offset the negative effect on the income of workers,” he said. (National Journal, 5/12/07)

“Somehow,” said a Democrat lawmaker who is trying to build Republican support, “we have to convince them that voting for comprehensive reform does not amount to ‘enfranchising their defeat,'” a reference to the likelihood that two of every three new Latino voters would cast Democratic ballots. “Our problem,” he admitted, “is that we are hoping that the legislation will build the Democratic electorate.” (National Journal, 2/10/07)

Democratic leaders say Republican backing is critical, both to ensure passage of a bill in the Senate and to protect newly elected moderate and conservative Democrats in the House, some of whom campaigned against legalizing illegal immigrants. (New York Times, 3/23/07)

FAST FACT: MOULTRIE INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE SERVICES PROMOTES A PETITION TO VETO LEGISLATION AIMED AT SAVING AMERICAN LIVES IN GEORGIA BY DETERING ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM DRIVING…ILLEGALLY! See here.

4:34PM :Note from D.A. – I just checked back after sending these folks the below e-mail…they have taken the petition drive to veto the legislation off of their Webpage.

10:47 PM…Note from D.A.- I enjoyed watching WSB TV this evening, their news show had a story on this insurance agency and its effort to have SB 15 and SB 38 vetoed…in the name of profit. THANKS WSB TV NEWS!

Dear Insurance agents at Moultrie Int’l: Regarding your petition: http://www.moultrieinternational.com/

Great work! I constantly look for ways to illustrate to Georgians who it is that promotes the organized crime and why illegal immigration is costing us so much in money… and lives. YOU DONE GOOD HERE!

I will forward this to the family of Cobb Deputy Loren Lilly who was killed News Years Eve by an illegal who had never obtained a driver’s license…also to the family of Mathew David Godsey and Russell Godsey who lost their lives in an April 29 car crash here in Cobb County….the driver of the other vehicle that ran into them? An illegal alien…or to you, another commission on a policy.

I’ll be sure to send your Webpage to the parents of forever 5-year-old Dominic Malegni too…he was killed by an illegal alien who had car tags …but no license.

Thanks again, I will help you get your message out far and wide! I have copied your page below. I learned of your effort from www.GALEO.org run by Jerry Gonzalez and former state Senator Sam Zamarripa, who are helping and promoting your effort to have the Governor veto this important legislation…that will save American lives in Georgia.

I am forwarding this to some network news agencies and some TV stations …and several papers, maybe they will help you get the word out too!

Way to go money-grubbing Americans! While you make me extremely ill, I admire your effectiveness in showing yourselves to be the shameless profiteers that you are. Love the bilingual approach!

Acording to Rich Tucker and Townhall.com: The Pew Hispanic Center estimates there are between 11.5 and 12 million illegals ( Note from D.A.- sadly, this is off by more than half ), and it says 40 percent of them have arrived in the last five years — in other words, since 9/11.

Enforcement, even the promise of enforcement WORKS. Just ask the far left illegal alien/open borders lobby and the illegals themselves.

Below a short excerpt from that (not) far-right Creative Loafing paper.

As July 1 approaches, many immigrants – both illegal and legal – are
scrambling to decide what to do. Some individuals have obtained black-market
documents, while others have packed up, ready to move to a different state.
It’s a substantial change from the vocal, historical immigration protests
and boycotts that made national headlines last year.

“The immigrant community is very fearful and anxious,” says Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials.
“People are selling their homes, liquidating their assets and emptying their
bank accounts to ensure that they will be able to move on a moment’s
notice.”

While immigrants such as Sanchez weigh their options, metro Atlanta
businesses may also have to scramble to deal with some unexpected
consequences of the law. Gonzalez says the Home Builders Association of
Georgia expects the time for homes to be built to double and the costs of
new homes to increase by 10 to 30 percent, because American workers will
demand higher pay and only work 40-hour weeks.

Key to preventing future terror fiasco is tighter borders

D.A. King
Columnist

“Spanish and Islamic terrorist groups are using Mexico as a refuge“

– Former Mexican National Security Adviser and Mexican Ambassador to the United Nations Alfredo Aguilar Zinser, May 2001

“Members of Hezbollah have already entered the United States across the Southwest border.”

– A Finding from a “A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border,” a 2006 U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security report.

Using the very politically incorrect “enforcement-only” approach, earlier this week, American law enforcement officers apprehended six Islamic crazies who were planning an attack on Ft. Dix, a U.S. Army base in New Jersey.

“Today we dodged a bullet,” was a comment from FBI Agent J.P. Weis on the arrests of the group that included at least three illegal aliens – brothers – who had been living in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Several of those arrested made it clear that they were ready to “kill and die in the name of Allah.”

According to Fox News reports, the illegal aliens, the brothers Duka, entered the U.S. illegally near Brownsville, Texas in 1984, two years before the “one time” amnesty of 1986.

This all-too-close brush with the horror of Americans being murdered in their own country by illegal aliens – again – will no doubt be discussed, if it is at all, as an “immigration” issue and pointed to as proof that “our immigration system is broken” by dishonest pundits, the open borders/illegal alien lobby and elected officials who are desperately looking for a way to grant a path to legalization for the more than 20 million illegal aliens in our country. Again.

It should be a wake-up call to us all that “the immigration issue” is clearly a national security issue and that securing American borders should not be a trigger for anything other than a pathway to re-election for those who have sworn to protect us. To most Americans, this one included, this represents common sense.

In an effort to distract the American public from the fact that illegal immigration should have ceased after Sept. 11, 2001, many in Congress hope that we will overlook the fact that protecting American borders is not a component of immigration reform, but a duty of office. And that any legislation aimed at doing so will merely be another bill that says our leaders must obey the law.

For years, news stories on America’s border security crisis have been intentionally focused on the mostly Mexican illegals who are coming into the United States because they can make more money here than in their own corrupt nation – the “cheap” labor to which cost-cutting employers have grown addicted.

What is not reported is that hundreds of illegal aliens who come from countries with known terrorist ties are routinely apprehended by Border Patrol agents on the border with Mexico. And that we only catch a fraction of the total of illegal crossers.

What is not reported is that we must stop all illegal entries into the U.S. – period.

The last thing the open-borders lobby wants is for anyone to point to the obvious homeland security dangers involved in illegal immigration.

Don’t expect the 2006 warning from Zapata County, Texas Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez to be part of the debate on “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” in the U.S. Congress when amnesty-again is presented – again – as a solution to our national security problems at our borders.

Gonzalez, who heads the Texas Sheriff’s Border Coalition, said a growing number of suspected incursions and violence aimed at the area’s law enforcement officers is making the border “a pretty dangerous place.” Gonzalez told the House Homeland Security Committee in 2006 that, “If smugglers can bring in tons of marijuana and cocaine – and can smuggle 20 to 30 persons, one can just imagine how easy it would be to bring in two or three terrorists or their weapons of mass destruction.”

Indeed.

The U.S. Senate will take up “immigration” again as soon as next week.

Americans looking for a better life should be watchful to see which of the senators has the courage to come out of the shadows and say out loud that the pro-American solution to the crisis that threatens the survival of the republic is to secure the borders – at any cost – and to demand enthusiastic enforcement of the laws already passed. Period.

They may also want to point out that immigrants, by definition, have no need for legalization and do not require amnesty.

We’ll be watching.
