Харман за иммиграционную реформу
Авторитетный калифорнийский сенатор Том Харман направил открытое письмо Бараку Обаме, призвав президента к скорейшему проведению всесторонней иммиграционной реформы.
«Мы тратим огромные деньги на заключение нелегальных иммигрантов в тюрьму, - написал Харман. – Эти люди не являются опасными преступниками. Они хотят честно работать и честно зарабатывать деньги».
Письмо стало своего рода следствием на недавнее заявление калифорнийского губернатора. Шварценеггер сказал, что собирается потратить в 2010 году $900 млн. на борьбу с нелегальной иммиграцией. Большая часть этих средств уйдёт на содержание нелегалов в депортационных центрах и отправку домой.
Надо сказать, что Харман является одним из немногих влиятельных политиков Калифорнии, кто защищает права нелегальных иммигрантов. Главным же его идейным политиком считается Стив Пойзнер – потенциальный приемник Шварценеггера. На этой неделе Пойзнер пообещал, что в случае избрания на губернаторский пост он отменит все льготы для жителей без документов и последует в борьбе с нелегалами примеру Аризоны.
В настоящее время Харман работает над созданием коалиции американских сенаторов, которая будет продвигать проект иммиграционной реформы в жизнь. Калифорнийский сенатор уверен, что при положительном стечении обстоятельств закон об амнистии может вступить в силу уже в этом году.

Врачи, представлявшие сторону Оньянго, указывали на медицинские основания для предоставления политического убежища, а также на угрозу ее жизни в связи опасениями «межплеменного насилия» в Кении.))))))))))Нелегалка. Вот как делает любящий племянник. А вы всё о справедливости кричите и всех обвиняете в нелюбви к вам.
Fewer Californians support cutting illegal immigration benefits, Times/USC poll finds
A new Los Angeles Times/USC poll has found a shift in California voter sentiment away from proposals to take away all social services from illegal immigrants, including access to schools and emergency medical treatment, from illegal residents.
Large majorities in the poll supported two alternative proposals: one that would couple stronger enforcement at the border with a temporary worker program, and one that would combine stronger border enforcement with a path to eventual citizenship for illegal residents who perform community service, pay back taxes and learn English.
Сколько людей, столько и мнений. Америка разделилась в своих симпатиях и антипатиях к нелегалам. Но решать эту проблему придется. И я уверен, что легализация в той или иной форме состоится.
USA Today, May 4, 2010
Two-thirds of Americans want the government to do a better job of securing the borders, but they are sympathetic to illegal immigrants who have been working hard and staying out of trouble, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds.
Eight in 10 Americans are concerned that illegal immigrants burden schools, hospitals and other government services, and 77% worry that they drive down wages, the poll finds.
Yet 77% are concerned that stricter laws would mean illegal immigrants and their families who have lived productively in the USA for years would be forced to leave.

“On the one hand, they don’t like the idea that people are breaking our immigration laws, that it appears we have a southern border that is out of control,” Jimenez [Tomas Jimenez, a fellow at the non-partisan New America Foundation] said. “On the other hand, they think the people coming here who work hard, who have dreams of a better life, are really participating in an American tradition that is as old as this country.”
In the poll, 68% say it is extremely important or very important to halt the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, and 67% say it is extremely or very important to develop a plan to deal with about 12 million illegal immigrants in the USA. Yet 74% are somewhat or very concerned that tougher immigration laws would lead to harassment of Hispanics.

# "Amnesty for illegal immigrants will cause costs to increase significantly from $10.4 billion a year to $28.8 billion. This is because an amnesty program would transform an illegal immigrant to an "unskilled immigrant with legal status" who could access various government programs. However, due to low income, these "unskilled immigrants with legal status" would likely make very modest tax payments."
(Center for Immigration Studies).-
# "Tax payments in illegal households are only 28% of other households primarily due to much lower levels in education, which subsequently results in low incomes and even lower tax payments."
