CONGRESSMAN DENNIS ROSS SIGNS LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA CONDEMNING ADMINISTRATION'S BACKDOOR AMNESTY PROGRAM

The following information was released by the office of Florida Rep. Dennis Ross:

Dear Mr. President:

As members of the bipartisan Immigration Reform Caucus we vehemently oppose your August 18, 2011 announcement to bypass Congress and use prosecutorial discretion to achieve amnesty for individuals who are illegally residing in the U.S. The manner with which your administration has introduced this policy not only robs the public of a thorough vetting, but it also fails to appreciate the negative consequences of this policy shift.

Over the last several years, with the support of the American public, Congress has consistently defeated amnesty proposals for illegal aliens. This recent effort appears to be nothing more than an attempt to avoid public review and unilaterally impose amnesty by picking and choosing which laws to enforce; or in this case, not to enforce, thereby enabling illegal aliens to remain in the country. In addition, we are convinced the consequences of implementing this policy, will include, but certainly not be limited to, the loss of public confidence and the encouragement of future illegal immigration. Even prior to this, the American public's confidence in the Administration to address illegal immigration was tenuous at best. This is evidenced by the number of states that have initiated and passed their own immigration enforcement laws. This shift in policy confirms the general public's suspicion that the Administration is not serious about controlling illegal immigration. Also, this policy has the added affect of further encouraging illegal immigration.

Frankly put, if we don't take our own laws seriously enough to enforce, why should we expect anyone to follow them? This policy will introduce a new wave of illegal immigrants emboldened with the knowledge that not only is it okay to break the law, but they will likely be rewarded for it with de facto amnesty status; thereby exacerbating an already vicious cycle we as a nation have been trying to address for over two decades. This attempt to satisfy the narrow interests of the pro-amnesty lobby has ultimately earned the distrust of the greater American public. Our fear is that this policy will irreparably harm the prospects of true immigration reform for many years to come.

Mr. President, our request is simple: enforce our immigration laws evenly without passion, prejudice or preference.

There are three, very efficient, and very well known solutions to stopping illegal immigration from Mexico. None of which the US government is willing to do, for fear it will upset the underground economy or the new political monster now growing in the United States, namely illegal aliens from Mexico.

Here they are:

1: Convict and imprison employers of illegal aliens.

2: End anchor baby automatic citizenship.

3: Build and patrol an effective physical wall the entire length of the 1,969 mile long Mexican border.
