  Legalization Would Boost Economy During Recession

  Today in America we are in dire straights economically. Many people voted for President Obama, wanting change, but were not in total agreement of the democratic platform. I think one of the fastest short term boosts to our economy is to employ citizens with a mandated use of the E-Verify system for all employers.  It is a proven effective way to weed out illegal immigrants. I am a total believer in legal immigration, and we are generous, in these times, to allow one million plus legal immigrants yearly. I also support the continued use of E-Verify. This is one of the only government operations that are now working at a 98% + success rate. It would be terrible to remove a program that would not only help our economy, but could stem the flow of illegal immigrants, and aid Homeland Security in securing our borders. This has been effective in Arizona, to the degree that some illegal immigrants are returning home because of lack of work. Using this method would create new jobs for many citizens, which is needed quickly in this downturn in our economy. This would also take some pressure off of our many programs that assist low wage families. We have many Americans without work, and we have to look within to make improvements. Like in Australia, I think we need put a stop to the anchor baby situation, by one parent having citizenship.  I have tried to post in Dave’s bog in the change.org site only once before.  He continues to force feed his ideas, and that is his prerogative. I just was not aware that the change.org site was designed in this manner. I thought that this site was for open dialog, so we can move forward in a positive manner. It seems that the people who take differing ideas take a beating on this site.    Dave, I respect you for fighting for your cause, but I do not believe the immigration issue on change.org is the place, as your voice is very different from many that still have hope in the economic rebuilding of our great country. We can continue to be the melting pot for all people who arrive here by legal means. That seems simple and fair.

  USCIS Presumption of Fraud Stymies Legitimate Marriage Cases

    I just visited this site for the first time, and I totally agree that legal immigrants should be welcomed to the USA, but illegal is illegal. Deport them all, from where ever they come from, and tell them to follow the rules of legal immigration, and we will welcome them with open arms. We do need immigration reform now.  Using the proven E-Verify system as a tool, and require for all employers to run data checks on employess and people searching for work. No pass, no job. This would employ many of the unemployed working middle class families that are being outsourced. We should also clear our prisons of illegals, and send them to their homeland. We need to revise the anchor baby situation. It is like many of the loopholes that exist now for corporate America. It's just a way of getting around the system. The system is broken. We need to change. We have to think of our country, and it's legal citizens first in this rough time of change. We need to employ the legal citizens of our country, and not give any benefits to any illegals.
