Speech #1100051614

For example. an alien who falsely claimed U.S. citizenship would be considered eligible for amnesty. even though it is a crime. No. 3. background checks are taken too lightly. An illegal alien can apply for probationary status and a Z visa without thorough background checks. Immediately after the bill passes. the alien can apply for probationary legal status and receive a card. even if the aliens background check is not complete. No. 4. illegal aliens are protected from removal. If an alien is in removal proceedings or being detained at the time of enactment. the alien can still apply for amnesty. Aliens who apply for amnesty cannot be detained or deported while their application is being processed. essentially giving them immunity from justice. No. 5. terrorists and criminals can apply for amnesty. The Secretary of Homeland Security is allowed to waive the grounds of ineligibility for those who have an outstanding final administrative order of removal. deportation or exclusion. Currently. there are more than 637.000 alien absconders in the United States who have defied orders to leave. No. 6. taxes. Illegal aliens are required to provide the Internal Revenue Service information about tax payments only when applying for legal permanent residence if that avenue is pursued. Illegal aliens can skirt the Federal. State and local tax laws because it is not a requirement to prove one has paid outstanding tax liabilities to get probationary or Z status. No. 7 limits eligibility to illegal aliens. It creates a Z nonimmigrant visa program for illegal aliens and illegal aliens only. No one else is eligible for this program. particularly those waiting their turn in line. Also. there is no cap on the number of eligible participants. No. 8. indefinite renewal of the Z nonimmigration visas. Z nonimmigrant visas are valid for 4 years and may be renewed indefinitely. This is a disincentive for illegal aliens to pay the $4.000 penalty. touch back to their own country. and prove that they paid their taxes or receive a very important medical exam. No. 9. health standards are ignored. No medical exam or immunizations are needed to get a Z visa. No. 10. there is no incentive to learn English. There is no English requirement to get a Z visa. Each Z nonimmigrant must only demonstrate "an attempt to gain an understanding of the English language" upon the first renewal of the Z visa. There are waivers even for that requirement. No. 11. green card applicants are not required to return to their home country. Green card applicants. only for the principal alien. must be filed in person outside the United States but not necessarily in the aliens country of origin. The alien can then reenter. likely on the same day. under a Z nonimmigrant visa because it serves as a valid travel document. Again. there are exceptions for the requirement. No. 12: Fault with these provisions.
