Texans for Sensible Immigration Policy ("TSIP") was formed to educate the public and our elected officials about the importance and need for sound comprehensive immigration reform that secures our borders and keeps our economy strong. We strongly support enhanced border security and believe we can have a secure border without criminalizing the employers and working immigrants helping to fuel our economy.
We can do so by working with employers currently making good faith efforts to follow applicable laws and pay appropriate taxes to end the underground "cash only" system that eludes identification, verification, and taxation.
We should create a legal work status for these employers and working immigrants without disrupting their current working status. Such status would be conditional on the completion of certain requirements and would address the continued employability of immigrants working within our borders and allow proper identification, verification, taxation, and assimilation.
We should develop a viable and efficient visa work program that allows for a timely and reasonable flow of immigrant workers to meet future employment needs.
Finally, we should establish a system of effective and fair enforcement against employers and immigrants that refuse to comply with the reformed system.
We can no longer afford to ignore border security or our broken immigration system. Nor can we ignore our need for the critical services these immigrant workers provide. They help build our homes, churches, offices, hospitals, schools, and highways. Mass deportments of working immigrants and jailing productive employers are not viable solutions.
Instead, we can establish a sensible immigration policy that secures the border, meets our economy's labor needs, identifies, verifies, and assimilates immigrants, and properly taxes immigrant workers and their employers. In other words, we can accomplish everything our current immigration laws fail to do. This is what Texans for Sensible Immigration Policy supports.
