Fred Thompson Releases Border Security/Immigration Plan
From the Blog The American Mind
Sphere: Related ContentFred released his Border Security and Immigration Reform Plan.
I’ll copy the highlights I posted on the Fred File:
- No Amnesty. Amnesty undermines U.S. law and policy, rewards bad behavior, and is unfair to the millions of immigrants who follow the law and are awaiting legal entry into the United States.
- Attrition through Enforcement. Adding “at least 25,000 agents” to the Border Patrol and doubling the number of ICE agents.
- Enforce Existing Federal Laws. Rejecting sanctuary cities by cutting federal discretionary funds to states and local governments that ignore existing immigration laws.
- Reduce the Jobs Incentive. Require U.S. employers to use the E-Verify system to determine if a person can legally work here.
- Bolster Border Security. Finish building the wall along our border.
- Increased Prosecution. Go after coyotes, alien gang members, and criminals.
- Rigorous Entry/Exit Tracking.
UPDATE: I also wrote this post on the difference between Fred and Rudy Giuliani on this issue.
