Texans for Sensible Immigration Policy

We need a sensible immigration policy that secures the border and recognizes the need for continued employment of the current immigrant workforce and a program to meet future employment needs. Such a policy would:

• Secure the border
• Create a legal status by which the current immigrant workforce could work here legally that does not grant citizenship
• Identify the immigrant workers and properly tax those workers and their employers, eliminating the current "underground" cash-only employment
• Develop a viable and efficient visa work program that allows for a timely and reasonable flow of immigrant workers to meet future employment needs

Once sensible reform is in place, we must establish a system of effective and fair enforcement against employers and immigrants that refuse to comply.
