THE GUN TOTING LIBERAL™

Sophisticated High-Tech Social Security Cards, Guest Worker Program, “Tough but fair” Amnesty Path For Illegal Imigrants Aliens, Requirement To Speak Decipherable English, Stronger Border Enforcement And Increased Enforcement Authority For Local Police Amongst Bipartisan Senators’ Proposal…

Senators “Chuckie” and Lindsey are ready to work directly with President Barack Hussein Obama to solve our tiny little “illegal alien” problem, which includes of course, all of the above and a few more items according to their co-written “op ed” piece published by The Washington Post today. I believe this gives us a little “whiff” of what’s going to be clogging up all of our airwaves once this ObamaCare package (Think Progress) has been completed, which I expect to be no sooner than shortly after the 2010 mid-term elections, of course.

While these gentlemen do (surprisingly) bring up a few great ideas, and while it is way past time to do something about all of these illegal aliens we’ve got running around taking our jobs, I do have a few problems of with at least a few of their ideas…

Some “snips” and some commentary to follow:

… Our plan has four pillars: requiring biometric Social Security cards to ensure that illegal workers cannot get jobs; fulfilling and strengthening our commitments on border security and interior enforcement; creating a process for admitting temporary workers; and implementing a tough but fair path to legalization for those already here. …

Okay, no big deal with the enhanced Social Security cards here, as LONG as they mean it when they say no private information other than legal Citizen or immigration status is contained. Get a new job, pull the card out of your sock drawer, let the new employer swipe it, then put it back in your sock drawer until you need it again. No problemma with that one.

“Temporary workers”? Why? Don’t we already have legalized temporary workers here in the United States? Yes, we do — they’re called worker visas (Google). This provision is either redundant or, more likely, a “code phrase” for a snake in the woodpile.

A “tough but fair path” for those already here? To me, “tough but fair” means they speak clear English, have (aside from the felony they committed by sneaking into the U.S. through the “back door”) clean records, and have demonstrated they, other than being admitted felons (a requirement under the Schumer/Graham proposal), have otherwise demonstrated good “citizenry” in their respective communities. Of course, I would also INSIST they are convicted for their felonies and given suspended prison sentences, meaning they will not be able to legally possess firearms or vote in most states. Deport the rest of the bums, of course.

More:

… Prospective employers would be responsible for swiping the cards through a machine to confirm a person’s identity and immigration status. Employers who refused to swipe the card or who otherwise knowingly hired unauthorized workers would face stiff fines and, for repeat offenses, prison sentences. …

HUGE problem with this one — an OBVIOUS “loophole” needing some serious plugging up. This simply encourages illegal aliens and employers to continue doing what a huge percentage of them have been doing for decades. It’s called “under the table pay” and it’s called the “I’ll hire you as an independent contractor (wink-wink!) and I’ll 1099 you at tax time at the address you provide and hey — welcome aboard!” method of doing “bidness”. Either Senators “Chuckie” and Lindsey know this full-well and are collaborating to blow some more “smoke and mirrors”, “feel good” crappola into our sphincters or it’s simply a tiny “oversight” on their part. Taxes are NEVER collected from illegal aliens being paid under the table or from “straw” independent contractors who’ve committed the felony of breaching our sovereignty and they never WILL be unless this issue is addressed and a LEGAL solution is included.

Last but not least:

… Our blueprint also creates a rational system for admitting lower-skilled workers. Our current system prohibits lower-skilled immigrants from coming here to earn money and then returning home. …

BZZZT. Our current system prohibits ALL of these people from coming here in the first place. It doesn’t work — they still come here and they still take our money back home and live high on their horses while our own low-skilled workers live off of our welfare system. I need a bit of clarification on how these guys intend to fix this problem which has existed in our country for decades and I absolutely DO wish to see a limit on how many U.S. Dollars “Ameros” can go accompany any “guest worker” across the border and I DO wish to see a hefty tax levied on any of their money sitting in U.S. banks, being spent in Mexico or whichever country they call home…

Yeah, I guess I’m just a jerk, eh?
