Not Too Bad grim reaper\n\nI Guess Im Gettin My Point Across :-)\n\nFIRST - I Would Station Troops Along The Border With AUTHORIZATION To Use Deadly Force\nTo Prevent ANY UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY Into The United States\n\nSECOND - I Would Implement The Third Provision Of HR4437 As It Is Written\n\nAnyone or any organization who “assists” an individual without documentation “to reside in or remain” in the United States knowingly or with “reckless disregard” as to the individual’s legal status would be liable for criminal penalties and five years in prison.   This could include church personnel who provide shelter or other basic needs assistance to an undocumented individual.   Property used in this act would be subject to seizure and forfeiture.\nhttp://www.justiceforimmigrants.org/HR4437.html\n\nThat Would Cover The Employers - \n5 Years In Prison And Loss Of All Assets For Hiring Illegal Aliens - NO EXCEPTIONS\n\nTHIRD - I Would Reform The HEALTH, EDUCATION, And WELFARE Systems So That Those Services Will Be Available ONLY To The CITIZENS Of The USA - EMERGENCY Services Only To All Others\n\nFOURTH  - I Would Empty The Prisons Of All ILLEGAL Aliens And Deport Them To Their Nations Of Origin\n\nFIFTH  - I Would DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS UPON DISCOVERY\nNo Jails\nNo Judge\nNo Jury\nYou Have The Oppurtunity To Prove You Are Authorized To Be In The USA\nIf You Are NOT AUTHORIZED To Be In This Nation, You Will Be DEPORTED\n\nSIXTH - I Would ENFORCE The 14TH Amendment -\nThe key to undoing the current misinterpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment is this odd phrase\n\n"AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF."\n\nThe whole problem is caused by the fact that the meaning of this phrase, which was clear to anyone versed in legal language in 1868, has slipped with changes in usage. Fortunately, there is a large group of court precedents that make clear what the phrase actually means: \n\nThe Fourteenth Amendment EXCLUDES the children of aliens. (The Slaughterhouse Cases (83 U.S. 36 (1873) \n\nThe Fourteenth Amendment draws a distinction between the children of aliens and children of citizens. (Minor v. Happersett (88 U.S. 162 (1874)\n\nThe phrase "subject to the jurisdiction" REQUIRES "Direct And Immediate ALLEGIENCE" to the United States, NOT JUST PHYSICAL PRESENCE. \n(Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94 (1884)\n\nThere is NO automatic birthright citizenship in a particular case. (Wong Kim Ark Case, 169 U.S. 649 (1898) \n\nThe Supreme Court has NEVER confirmed birthright citizenship for the children of Illegal Aliens, temporary workers, and tourists. \n(Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 211 n.10 (1982) \n\n\nThat Would Be A START - Give Me A Little Time\n\n\n****In The Mean Time... I Would Have The Following Individuals (AMONG OTHERS) REMOVED FROM OFFICE And Tried For TREASONOUS CRIMES Against The United States Of America\n\n-- Antonio Villaraigosa \nMayor- Los Angeles, California-"\n\n-- Mario Obledo \nMexican American Legal Defense\n\n-- Art Torres \nCalifornia Democratic Party chairman - \n\n-- Jose Baca \nCalifornia State Senator - \n\n-- Richard Alatorre \nLos Angeles City Council - \n\n-- Gloria Molina \n Los Angeles County Supervisor\n\n-- Cruz Bustamante \nFormer Lt. Governor, California \n\n-- Fernando Guerra, \nProfessor, Loyola Marymount University -

Heres A Link That Explains \nthe main provisions of the HR 4437  \n\nhttp://www.justiceforimmigrants.org/HR4437.html\n\nMajor Provisions of HR 4437\nThe following is a summary of the major provisions of H.R. 4437, the Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005.   The legislation passed the House of Representatives 239-182 on Friday, December 16, 2005.\n\n“Unlawful presence” would now be considered a crime and a felony, meaning that undocumented immigrants may have to serve jail time and would be barred from future legal status and from re-entry into the country. \n\nImmigrants, including asylum-seekers, victims of human trafficking, victims of domestic abuse, and children who are apprehended along an international border or at a port-of-entry would be detained until such time as they are removed from the nation or otherwise provided immigration relief. \n\nAnyone or any organization who “assists” an individual without documentation “to reside in or remain” in the United States knowingly or with “reckless disregard” as to the individual’s legal status would be liable for criminal penalties and five years in prison.   This could include church personnel who provide shelter or other basic needs assistance to an undocumented individual.   Property used in this act would be subject to seizure and forfeiture. \n\nThe use of expedited removal, which would permit DHS enforcement personnel to remove a potential asylum-seeker without providing an opportunity to appear before an immigration judge or qualified adjudicator, would be mandated within 100 miles of the border and within 14 days of a person’s entry into the country. \n\nThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be required to erect up to 700 miles of fencing along the Southwest border at points with the highest number of immigrant deaths. \n\nState and local law enforcement are authorized to enforce federal immigration laws.  State and local governments which refuse to participate would be subject to the loss of federal funding. \n\nAsylum seekers and refugees who are convicted of a minor offense, such as petty theft, would be barred from permanent legal residence and eventual citizenship. \n\nDocument fraud would be considered an aggravated felony and would subject an asylum-seeker to deportation and bars to re-entry. \n\nNationals from countries who do not accept the return of aliens who commit crimes in this country would not be admitted to the United States.   This would include countries such as China, Vietnam, and Cuba. \n\nDHS would be given the authority to continue to detain individuals who have served their sentences based upon a determination that they are a “dangerous alien,” contrary to Supreme Court rulings barring indefinite detention. \n\nThe diversity visa lottery program, which allows 50,000 immigrants each year from countries around the world to permanently reside in the United States, is eliminated.\n \nThese represent a few of the most egregious provisions of H.R. 4437

Get a lawyer...and fast...and soon...and get a nice one. You may want to visit the immigration website, and look for approved lawers.

Your thesis needs to be arguable,  such as Better border defenses will curb illegal immigration,  or Better border defenses will not curb illegal immigration or The government needs to inact better immigration laws to help those people who legally want to immigrate to the US or The US needs to use whatever means necessary to control immigration.  That way you can add in legislation, border defenses etc.

Problem #1: Population \n\nThe first problem I see with the current state of the immigration laws is the significant rise in population that has, and will, continue to occur over the next fifty years. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an estimated 1.1 million immigrants, both legal and illegal, enter the United States every year. 700,000 of these are legal immigrants; 120,000 are refugees, and between 250,000 to 300,000 are undocumented or illegal “aliens” ( Baldwin, 1995). The United States population at the moment is roughly 288 million people. If this trend of aliens is not decreased, the population will reach 400 million by 2050. How many people can America hold? \n\nProblem #2: Benefits Illegal Aliens Recieve \n\nCurrently, under federal law, undocumented foreign citizens are eligible for emergency healthcare, free schooling from kindergarten through high school, and W.I.C. or Woman, Infants, and Children nutritional program ( Baldwin, 1995). This is important to note because there are currently between eight and ten million aliens currently living illegally in the United States. An estimated 2.5 million of these illegal aliens currently reside in the state of California alone, due to the agricultural jobs that are readily available for cheap labor (Kadetsky, 102). It should not be surprising then that the residents of California were outraged over the amount of money that they were being forced to spend, and the amount of resources that were being used to support aliens that are not “allowed” to be in the United States in the first place. \n\n \n\nProblem #3: Homeland Security\n\nIn the Fiscal year of 2002, which runs October 1 through September 30, the United States Coast Guard, which is the country’s primary maritime, or sea going, law enforcement agency, intercepted 4104 immigrants from various South American countries (USCG, Para 2). Since then, the numbers of immigrants intercepted by the Coast Guard, has continued to climb at an alarming rate; jumping to almost 11,000 in 2004, 9,500 in 2005, and currently with less than two months into the 2006 physical year, there have already been 1,000 migrants accounted for and processed through the Coast Guard (USCG, Para 1). Illegal immigration can potentially cost American tax payers billions of dollars a year. The United States Coast Guard, whose primary obligation is to prevent the loss of life at sea, can not stop this problem by its self, it is mearly the first line of defense. It is up to the rest of America to join the fight and help put an end to this awful practice.\n\n\nthanks cherokee rose i put my signature on  petition you rock

Call the IMMIGRATION and NATURALIZATION SERVICE ( INS ). They will be in the gov't pages of your phone book. Only they can tell you the true procedures, other than a lawyer who specializes in such cases.
