my letter from Sen. Marinez

[GOSCOOTIN]

Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate hearing from you regarding comprehensive immigration reform and would like to respond to your concerns.

As you may know, on June 7, 2007, the Senate was unable to reach an agreement on the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (S. 134 and the Senate Majority Leader has set aside S. 1348, for the time being. Delaying comprehensive reform does a disservice to America. I remain committed to working together with my colleagues to produce a tough but fair and workable piece of legislation that President Bush can sign into law during this Congress.

To do this, we must secure the border first. The first section of S. 1348 mandates that border security and worksite-enforcement benchmarks must be met before other elements of the legislation are implemented. This legislation will direct the Department of Homeland Security to complete construction of hundreds of miles of additional double layered fencing and create 200 miles of vehicle barriers on our border with Mexico. The department will hire and train 18,000 border patrol agents. In addition, this bill provides for surveillance technologies to enhance our ability to monitor the border, such as, 70 ground –based radar and camera towers on the southern border and 4 unmanned aerial vehicles. However, physically securing the border will not solve the entire problem. Employers will be required to verify the work eligibility of all employees using an employment eligibility verification system, while all workers will be required to present stronger and more verifiable identification documents. Tough new anti-fraud measures will be implemented and stiff penalties imposed on employers who break the law.

After the border has been certified secure by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and the employment verification system is in place, the remaining provisions of the bill will go into effect. To address the labor shortage in industries with a demonstrated need such as, the Florida Citrus and Hospitality Industries, a guest worker program will be implemented. The purpose of this program is to relieve pressure on the border and provide a lawful way to meet the needs of our economy. The proposal creates a temporary worker program to fill jobs Americans are not doing. To ensure this program is truly temporary, workers will be limited to three two-year terms, with at least a year spent outside the United States between each term. A small percentage of temporary workers will be allowed to bring immediate family members only if they have the financial ability to support them and they are covered by health insurance.

Additionally, this legislation does away with a relative- based immigration system or “Chain Migrationâ€Â

Have you signed the recall petition?

[GOSCOOTIN]

No! Didn't know about the recall petition. We just moved here a couple of weeks ago. But I was getting on him as soon as we had an address. No home, but we got land and that gives me the right to fight him!
Please send me info so I can sign it and pass it along.
Appreciate it!

Dear Senator Martinez,

RE: Your Pork Projects

1. Obstacles to Development in Latin America
I want my tax money spent in the United States. We have many obstacles to development here. Your allegiance is not to the United States.

2. Child Health Care for Ukraine
We have serious health care problems in our Country. I expect my tax money to address the problems here. Your allegiance is not to the United States.

3. Basic Education for Bolivia and Dominican Republic
Our education system is now a failure. I want my tax money to educate our children. Your allegiance is not to the United States.

4. Institute for Liberty and Democracy Lima Peru
Our Democracy has been damaged by gerrymandering voting districts, Business ownership of the United States Government and illegal invaders voting. We no longer have the rule of law. I want my tax money spent on Liberty and Democracy in my Country. Your allegiance is not to the United States.

My statements regarding your allegiance is based on your voting record.

Sincerely,
Shelva Preston
