A carefully applied fire is one of the earliest and still most useful tools HUMANS have discovered.

With applied flame you can cut, burn or harden most materials.

The secret to using fire has always been in discovering how to successfully use that fire to accomplish the desired purpose.

Today the mission is to remedy the broken immigration reality our country faces.

Some think that this situation cannot be made right, but a 5Th grader can point out the remedy. Stop the flow of illegals. Send the 30 more or less million already here home and only allow them to return if they are really here to do work no American will do.

Any 5th grader already understands that you cannot reward unlawful behavior and then expect the violator to become a model citizen.

How can America do this?

Again a 5th grader would point out that there is not just one law breaker but at least 2 involved in each working illegal immigrants being here.

One is the immigrant who must surely be a desperate human to risk the dangers and make the enormous effort to leave hearth and home and travel thousands of miles into a country where he cannot speak the language and is greeted with hostility by the natives in search of work.

The other is the greedy individual who excuses to himself his hiring of an illegal to increase his own income.

America has laws already on the books to stop both of these criminals from continuing their crimes.

So even a 5th grader can see that enforcing the laws on the books impartially as the rule of law demands would SOLVE the problem.

OK politicians what is your excuse.

Now we get to the fire....

Many arsonists abound claiming the only way to rectify our politicians apparent ignorance of the ease America could rid itself of this problem is to resort to protest and/or violence. Usually they claim ( with much justification) that the politicians are allowing this problem to fester to line the pockets of their political backers.

The truth is that those politicians can be convinced by the citizenry to see the error of their failure to address this issue. Some proof of that was seen when last year the congress passed a really tough immigration package and refused to compromise with the more out of touch Senate.

The congress this week showed the speed they can suddenly apply to a problem if they perceive a danger to the continuance of their political career from being on the wrong side of an issue many of their constituents seem interested in.

While demonstrations polarize and unite a clique of similar thinking people, there is little proof that big demonstrations actually change the laws of the union, in fact the back lash was seen in the last few years to prove that big rallies do not accomplish their goals.

Same Sex marriage & Gay rights have not materialized, American troops have not been withdrawn from anywhere, and green is only chic with the same leftists who were demonstrating.

Slow building political pressure has been successful.

Just as fire can be used to temper steel, Fire properly applied can put steel in the back of even a timid congressman.

It is time to really plan the application of FIRE to both the congress and Senate. Daily calls and faxes from the same few people will accomplish little compared to the effect of a multitude of people expressing their concerns. The necessary amount of people can be awakened, but most will not be if our course is feel good but ineffective protests.

The issue of immigration is beginning to rise to the status of national concern, The only thing needed to accomplish the mission is to properly apply the fire.

I see I am not the only one... check out this post from a private message board  .....

Here is an idea I found interesting,Credit goes to Neal Boortz.



The supporters of criminal aliens are trying to tell us that there is no way the 12 to 20 criminal aliens in this country could possibly be sent back home ... that we're just going to have to find a way to accommodate them.

Wrong.

It can be done. Control over our borders can be established. We just have to be willing to take some rather strong steps to get it done.

Now this idea isn't original with me ... I've just adopted it because it works. Here's your plan for sending those who are here illegally back home while making sure that American businesses and agriculture will get all the workers they need to stay in business.


Step One: You enact harsh -- draconian -- penalties for any employer, no matter how large or small, who knowingly or carelessly hires someone who is in this country illegally. These employers are going to have to use the services of private sector firms that verify citizenship or legal residency. If the demand for such certifications is created, that demand will be met by private businesses. The law would require the federal government to cooperate in all respect with any companies in the business of certifying legal residency. There would also be harsh penalties for any landlord who knowingly or carelessly rented living quarters to anyone not in this country legally.



Step Two: All federal funds would be withheld from any cities or other local governments who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities in the enforcement of our immigration laws. This would put an end to this "Sanctuary City" nonsense.

Step Three: A law would be passed that would allow U.S. Businesses to hire temporary workers who are not legal residents of the United States. All of this hiring would be done through federally licensed but privately operated employment agencies. The companies using the temporary labor would make all payments to the employment agencies, and the employment agencies would in turn pay the temporary workers. The penalties for any payments made by employers to temporary workers outside of this system would be harsh. Very harsh. Say, for instance, denial of any rights to hire temporary workers through this program again.

Step Four: U.S. law would require that any foreign person seeking work in the United States through the temporary worker program would have to have a temporary worker card issued by the United States. Without this card the employment agencies would not be permitted to bring these people into the U.S. for temporary work assignments.

Step Five: The temporary worker cards would only be issued in that worker's home country. Nowhere else. In other words, if you are already in the United States you would have to return to your home country to be issued a card. If you chose to remain in the United States you would be unable to find any work because you would be ineligible to be hired through the federally licensed employment agencies, and no employer would dare take a chance on the fines that would result from paying you outside of the federal temporary worker program.

Step Six: When a U.S. company need some workers, construction, agricultural ... whatever, that company would go to one of the federally licensed employment agencies and put in an order. That agency would then arrange to have the needed workers brought into the country and would arrange for their temporary housing. The employer would be billed for these costs. When the temporary work assignment was over the agency would provide transportation either back to the temporary workers home country or to the next temporary job. All payments to the temporary workers would cease until another assignment was found.

We have all of these illegal criminal aliens in this country because there is a demand for them. This program would eliminate the demand. Workers would be available through the temporary worker program. Going outside of the program would be unthinkable, considering the harsh penalties involved. Illegals already here would simply have to go back to their home countries to get that temporary worker card. We could even give them preferential treatment in issuing those cards ... just so long as they return to their own country to get them. The demand for illegals would dry up ... and those who truly need and want to work would, in spite of the inconvenience, abide by the law to accomplish their goals.

In many ways this idea gives the Republicans what they want, labor for American business. The problem in getting a program like this implemented is that it would most certainly NOT give the Democrats what they want ... more votes. Democrats see every one of these illegal aliens as a potential vote. Why, after all, do you think there are voter registration drives being promoted today? Just who are they trying to register? And which party is it that screams bloody murder whenever suggested that people voting or registering to vote show some ID or prove that they are eligible? 'Taint the Republicans. Connect the dots
