Homeland SecurityBy Bryan J. BartonCandidate for United States Representative; District 53; Republican Party |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
I have taken the 10 point "Candidate's Pledge on Homeland Security." written by Congressman Brian Bilbray.1. Ending the current "Catch and release" policy by making expedited removal of illegal aliens mandatory and to require the completion of the US-VISIT entry-exit system. 2. Authorizing the deployment of the military on the border to assist in controlling illegal immigration. 3. Construction of a border fence along the U.S.-Mexico border extending from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, starting with the most heavily trafficked border crossings. 4. Mandatory employer verification of worker eligibility to work in the United States. 5. Stiff penalties for knowingly hiring illegal workers, not fines that are considered "a cost of doing business." 6. Make clear that local and state authorities are authorized to apprehend illegal aliens in the conduct of their routine duties, a legal uncertainty that has prevented untold thousands of illegal alien captures. 7. Prohibit illegal aliens from any access to Social Security benefits. Unbelievably, current U.S. law allows a loophole for illegal aliens to receive social security benefits. This practice must end. 8. Removing employer tax deductions for wages and benefits paid to illegal aliens. 9. Limiting birthright citizenship to the children of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents. 10. Comprehensive border and immigration enforcement legislation to end countless other loopholes that benefit illegal aliens and those who profit from their crime of illegal presence in the United States, to give law enforcement the tools and permission to enforce the laws and to compensate states for the financial impact of illegal immigration. |
