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

We are proposing the following “plank” or resolution be adopted by the Texas Republican Party.
 
Stop Illegal Immigration 

Texans resolve to urge Congress to develop a SENSIBLE IMMIGRATION POLICY!

Americans deserve a policy that effectively controls our borders, positively identifies all non-citizens, deports those with violent criminal records. Immigrants that came here illegally of their own accord will have no pathway to citizenship with the exception of military service. 

Work visas for non-citizens should be issued only to those who submit to a positive ID process including criminal background check and agree to pay substantial fines and penalty payroll taxes in excess of taxes paid by citizens.

Employers of non-citizens should be required to match those penalty payroll taxes as an incentive to hire U.S. citizens first!
