10-Year Work Permits for Millions
December 8, 2010 9:52 A.M. By Mark Krikorian

Roy Beck of Numbers USA lays out the jobs-related implications of the DREAM Act in a way I hadn’t really considered:

When the House and Senate (presumably) vote this afternoon, I think it is important to frame the issue in terms of giving out millions of additional 10-year work permits.

You see, even people who don’t qualify in the first place or who do qualify for the provisional amnesty but never meet the educational criteria later — all of them can get a 10-year work permit from the start.

So, at a time of nearly 10 percent unemployment, we’re talking about giving the right to compete with American and legal-immigrant workers to maybe 2 million people who legitimately would qualify under DREAM, plus maybe another couple of million who appear to be in the right age range to lie plausibly to get the 10-year conditional status. And after 10 years, then what?:

At the end of 10 years, illegal aliens who have not compiled two years of college or military would finally lose the right to compete legally with unemployed Americans for a job.

But they also would have sunk 10 more years of roots into their communities, building up an even bigger claim that it would be a hardship to be forced to leave this country. In addition, their advocates in the open-borders groups can say that they aren’t really illegal aliens since they have just spent 10 years living and working as legal residents.

And it’s not just that they’d be able to claim such hardship in MSM sob stories:

Fortunately for them, the DREAM amnesty allows those who fail to meet any of the criteria after 10 years to file a claim of hardship. The US Citizenship & Immigration Services agency is given the right to issue waivers and allow these illegal aliens to stay. By the way, they can get a waiver if the hardship is to them, or if it would be to a spouse, one of their children or one of their parents.

In the end, it is not only the 2 million potential qualified opening applicants but millions of potential fraudulent applicants who will get 10 years of legal competition against unemployed Americans. The only way the frauds can lose their work permit is if the government brings individualized cases to prove that they lied on the applications. Want to guess how many of the millions of fraud cases the government would have time to investigate and prosecute — one by one?

Congress needs to finally drive a stake through the heart of the amnesty issue today, so we get about the work of putting in place the tools (like E-Verify and Secure Communities and exit tracking) to continue shrinking the illegal-immigrant population.

Absolute madness.....millions of unemployed/under-employed Americans, Multi-Trillion dollar deficit, etc. We will be recording all whom were in favor of this nightmare act. They will lose their jobs on the next election cycle.

The majority of illegals in this country are between the ages of 17 and 36. It looks like the majority will be able to get work permits. Rhe government has been saying 12 million for years. the UN says 42 million. Talk replacing a work force.

Oh, and the Freddie MAC program gives first dibs to Grantee orgainzations, such as Acorn(under all of it's new nams) and La Raza for government subsidized low cost loans to buy those forclosed homes.

Outsouce jobs and and manufacturing while allowing unrestrained immigration.

Redistribute the wealth of the former workers to the new workers,

Do the math.

2012 can't come fast enough!

From William:

America,

This is your last chance to weigh in against the Dream Act Amnesty which the US Senate plans to vote for Cloture on around 4:30pm Eastern today! (3 hours from time of this email).

The US House plans to vote on Amnesty around 7:30pm EST!

ALIPAC activists across America are lighting up the DC switchboards, while tracking who is voting for or against Cloture on the Dream Amnesty in the Senate. ALIPAC's President, William Gheen, is doing back to back talk radio shows rallying more Americans to our efforts to defend America.

Millions of you are on the verge of being replaced and displaced in your jobs, classrooms, and voting enclosures.

Speak out now while minutes remain.

STEP 1: Your efforts have helped to move key votes our way! Please call the Senators below listed as "Noting No on Dream Amnesty Cloture" and say "I want to thank Senator ______ for standing with Americans, instead of foreign nationals. Tell Senator ____ I said thank you for agreeing to vote NO ON DREAM AMNESTY CLOTURE. Please ask Senator ____ to encourage other Senators to vote NO ON DREAM AMNESTY CLOTURE like he/she is."

STEP 2: Please call, then write the Senate offices listed below as VOTING YES or MAY VOTE YES ON DREAM AMNESTY CLOTURE.

Call and say "Please ask Senator ______ no to sellout America! Ask him/her to vote NO ON DREAM AMNESTY CLOTURE. Dream Amnesty is inappropriate for the lame duck session and would displace and replace millions of innocent American students, workers, and voters!"

Step 3: After you have called and written ALIPAC's senate targets below, please rally more Americans (friends, neighbors) to join you and then proceed to call and write our targets in the Congress found at this link.

PLEASE KEEP CALLING AND WRITING UNTIL YOU RECEIVE FURTHER WORD FROM US.

THE DEMOCRATS ONLY NEED A FEW MORE VOTES TO PASS AMNESTY.

Give this everything you have!
