Introduction to the Proposals

1. A proposed bill on immigration reform that will call for the security of all American borders and coastlines. All illegal immigrants in every corner of America must gain documentation. This will be an opportunity for legitimacy and accountability as qualified immigrants will be able to gain a work visa.

2. After all borders are secured there will be a one-year grace period. During this grace period all illegal immigrants must be documented and will be allowed to purchase work visas. These work visas will enable immigrants to keep their jobs while beginning payments toward social security and taxes. Illegal immigrants will no longer be able to receive free health care or food stamps. Illegal immigrants with mental or physical challenges or who have been injured on the job may continue to receive help once properly documented. Work visas will help make illegal immigrant criminals accountable for laws broken. All immigrants must take an oath to abide by our laws and face justice by our laws regardless if they are only seeking work visas rather than full citizenship.

3. Revenues made from work visas will be used to help save social security and will bail out taxpayers, starting with the low income senior citizens and disabled war veterans. It will also allow the federal government to have more of an accurate census of illegal immigrants in our nation.

4. The federal government will refund to each state half of the revenues made from illegal immigrants documented within that state’s borders. The more illegal immigrants a state has the more money will be refunded to that state. The work visas will cost $20,000 per family and payments can be paid in cash, credit or monthly payments.

5. English and speech classes will be given as part of the work visas, which will make immigrants bilingual in return better oportunites in the work force.

6.Revenues will be used to meet these goals.
A.Help Fund/Save Social Security
b.Provide better health care for disabled War Veterans.
c.More funds for Medicare
d.Insourcing more jobs and funds for education
e.Help to pay Americas debt with China.

7. The federal government will use the funds to rebuild the social security fund and provide better health care for disabled war veterans.

8. After the one-year grace period is over (unless the Federal Government decides to extend it), the U.S. Immigration Department will work with state and local law enforcement agencies in verifying the documentation of immigrants according to federal and state laws. Verifications of work Visas will be inscribed on state drivers’ licenses in order to prevent racial profiling.

9. All state and local law enforcement agencies will work with the Department of Immigration to search for illegal immigrants on job sites within their jurisdiction.

10. All CEOs of corporations and business owners and persons involved in the employment of illegal immigrants will be arrested (or otherwise held accountable). If convicted they will serve 1 to 5 years in prison and pay fines per illegal immigrant. All illegal immigrants found will be deported. There will be no racial profiling or home invasions allowed.

11. After five years, providing qualified immigrants have no criminal records (especially felonies), the state in which they abide in will sponsor the immigrants for a green card of residency. State employment agencies will work to help immigrants with a work visa find a job if necessary.

12. After fulfilling the time required with a green card of residency they can apply for full citizenship.

    BETTER HEALTH CARE FOR THE LOW INCOME ELDERLY, AND DISABLED WAR VETERANS.

He works full time, six days a week, sometimes up to 12 hours a day.
As a repair man, he is comfortable speaking to people of all educational backgrounds and has traveled through several Houston neighborhoods- the rich, the poor and those in between.
It was in through his line of work that he discovered a need for social change. Through conversations with disabled war veterans and the elderly, he came up with an idea to save social security and better assist returning veterans, something he says Republicans would favor.
“The problem is the federal government is broke,” said Hernandez. “There is no money, so I found a solution.”
An immigration reform is the solution, he said.
“I created an immigration reform bill that is going to create a lot of money for the nation, so much money that we can help provide for the needs of the elderly and disabled war veterans,” Hernandez said.
Hernandez plans to ask Congress for a one-year grace period where immigrants will be granted a temporary work visa. The revenue will come straight from the work visas, which is a selling point for both major political parties.
“It’s not going to come out of the federal government’s pocket; it’s not going to come out of the tax payers’ pocket; the immigrant is going to pay for it,” he said.
Local state governments, he said, would benefit with creation of new jobs, if such visa were every allowed for temporary citizenship. The economy would experience a boost and perhaps raise enough money to pay for the national debt, he said.
The pricing of the work visas, according to Hernandez, would depend on age and marital status. He said buying work visas are a safer alternative to “coyotes,” smugglers who warrant no guarantees. His focus is to inform the public of his idea. He says the only way to pass his proposal would be by unifying supporters.
To unite Americans politically, Hernandez is growing a grassroots movement – one, he says, that can create social change through the power of numerous supporters.
“It’s going to take the people to stand up and take our country back. We can’t rely on the politicians and the parties,” he said. “As Americans we have to rise up as one man; a corporate body.”
Hernandez speaks to anyone who will listen. He says both parties have shown an interest in his proposal and actively rallies volunteers to propel the movement.
“I’d hate to use the word bipartisan, because it’s got a bad rep now,” he said. “What I want to call it is a bill for the American people and for America.”

A new study by the Austin-based Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas estimates that illegal immigration costs the state $4.5 billion to $6 billion a year, an amount mostly spent on educating their children.

But the study?s methodology was called flawed by the liberal Migration Policy Institute and the Center for Public Policy Priorities, as well as the Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Fund.

Written by consultant James Bernsen ? who did a similar study in 2006 for the conservative Lone Star Foundation ? the report found that the costs of educating children of unauthorized immigrants aren?t offset by the estimated $1 billion a year in tax revenues the state collects from their parents, making such families a burden to the state.

?A perfect picture will continue to be impossible as long as state bureaucrats intentionally refuse to collect appropriate data on the numbers of illegal immigrants using Texas government services, particularly education,? the study said.

State Rep. John Zerwas, R-Houston, has introduced a bill that would require state agencies to report ?the cost of services and benefits provided to unlawfully present immigrants.? House Bill 276 was heard in committee this week along with a host of other immigration-related bills.

Though Bernsen agrees that ?poor statistics hamper all studies of the costs of illegal immigration,? Maria Grace Martinez of the Immigration Reform Coalition defends his study as ?a good place to start.?

The study, which also looks at higher education, health and criminal justice costs, doesn?t distinguish between immigrant children who are in the state illegally and U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants. It also doesn?t consider the federal income taxes, Social Security taxes or gasoline taxes they pay.

But it found that the tax revenue unauthorized immigrants contribute ?wipes out the cost of everything but education.?

?We spend almost $8,000 per student per year on average,? Bernsen said. ?You could argue it?s higher because they use more bilingual services.?

That?s a risky assumption ?not based in reality,? said Luis Figueroa, MALDEF?s legislative staff attorney in San Antonio, adding, ?Even though they are here, they avoid government services and government agencies.?

Also, unauthorized immigrants benefit the economy by providing cheap labor that keeps consumer costs down, Bernsen acknowledges.

The study leaves other things out, said Randy Capps, a demographer and senior policy analyst for the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute in Washington, D.C., and Eva DeLuna Castro, a budget analyst for the Center for Public Policy Priorities, an Austin group that advocates for poor Texans.

First, they note, the state doesn?t completely fund public education. Property taxes collected by local districts mainly pay that bill, and unauthorized immigrants pay into that system as property owners or renters. They also pay the gasoline tax, one-fourth of which goes to schools, and sales taxes on most purchases.

?Every individual costs more than they pay in taxes,? Capps said. ?That?s true for every state. ? It?s likely that unauthorized families cost the state a little more.? But, he said, Bernsen misses ?the bigger picture of the contributions of the immigrant to the economy.?

?Thinking of kids as a cost is taking the short view. In the longer view ? it?s a cost that will pay itself off in the future,? Capps said.

DeLuna Castro agreed, pointing out that federal income and payroll taxes get funneled back to the state in various forms, including Medicaid and migrant education programs.

For Zerwas, such concerns are all the more reason to keep records.

?Let?s get our arms around the data,? the legislator said. ?It?s more important to me that the state promotes sound policy on sound data. That?s all I?m really interested in.?
