Spencer continues to be the candidate to BEAT Hillary; not to BE Hillary

YONKERS, NY – Conservative Republican U.S. Senate Candidate and former Yonkers Mayor John Spencer today announced his Border Security and Immigration Reform platform.

1.

Secure the border against terrorists, drug traffickers, and other illegal aliens by increasing enforcement personnel.

*

Increase criminal penalties for those conducting illegal human smuggling operations, especially the trafficking of children for sexual exploitation.

*

Authorize the use of the National Guard and federal troops to secure the border while the border patrol reaches optimal strength.

*

Build a 2,000-mile-long fence to span the U.S.-Mexico border to slow border crossings and aid the efforts of those patrolling the border.

*

Increase the number of Dept. of Homeland Security agents to better screen immigrants seeking admission in person.

*

Prevent the admission and remove alien terrorists, their supporters and financial backers.

*

Improve the tracking of aliens in the United States by enhancing foreign student tracking systems.

*

Require temporary visa holders to obtain a Visa Term Compliance Bond.

*

Establishment of special “illegal alien specific federal courts� so cases can be heard with in days and those found in violation can be deported immediately.

2.

Crack down on employers who intentionally hire illegal aliens.

*

Increase penalties on employers who repeatedly, knowingly and willingly continue to employ illegal aliens by denying employers from taking tax deductions for the wages and benefits they pay to workers who are in the United States illegally.

*

Remove incentives and taxpayer benefits that reward to illegal aliens. Ø Fight liberal efforts to restore access to driver licenses for illegal aliens.

*

Deny Social Security benefits to illegal aliens.

*

Withhold federal funding from states that offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens.

3.

Enforce our existing laws and deport illegal aliens when convicted of crimes or detected during routine law enforcement activities.

*

Detain illegal aliens who commit crimes and turn them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement/Customs and Border Protection agents for deportation after serving time.

*

Deny federal funding to states that have sanctuary policies that bar public officials, including police officers, from asking an individual's immigration status to determine eligibility for public services and from reporting illegal aliens to federal authorities.

“America is a nation of immigrants. And we owe our prosperity to the hard work and strength of our immigrants and diverse population but in a post 9/11 world we must be ever vigilant to secure of border,� Spencer said.

“Securing our border is vital to the War on Terror. As Americans we should support legal immigration while we enforce and enhance our laws against illegal immigration,� Spencer added.

HILLARY WRONG ON BORDER SECURITY In Washington, Senator Hillary Clinton talks tough about Border Security and Homeland Defense. But the issue isn’t how Hillary Clinton talks for the cameras. It’s how she votes in the Senate.

*

Hillary Clinton fought against the Real ID Act that makes it more difficult for illegal aliens to get a driver license they can use as legitimate ID. (Statement, 5/10/05)

*

Hillary Clinton repeatedly voted against attempts by John McCain and others to fund more border patrol agents. (Roll Call Votes 179 & 182, 7/14/05)

*

Hillary Clinton even supports Ted Kennedy’s Amnesty for ten million illegal aliens that will cost taxpayers $19 billion by giving illegal aliens access to Welfare and other social benefits. (S. 2381, Center for Immigration Studies)

That sounds like a good platform to run on given the climate today. However, it would take ten years to implement those changes the way the government moves...unless, of course, you're talking about the invasion of some other country...they can get that done in a heartbeat...and stay forever at taxpayer expense...carefully guarding the borders of some OTHER nation...
