Immigration Bill Goes Down Bill O'Reilly No Spin
The Immigration Bill Goes Down
Monday, June 11, 2007
By Bill O'Reilly
The Senate completely blew this. They're at fault. The American people don't want an 800 page immigration bill loaded with a bunch of bullfeathers. The folks want clarity and a fair deal.
So it's no surprise the Senate's deal collapsed into chaos. And that is a bad thing for America, because now we'll have more of the same. Millions of people trying to sneak into the country and the feds having no idea who is here and what they're doing.
So right now, I'm going to give you the No Spin immigration solution. It is simple because, as you know, I am a simple man. There are just four components:
1) secure the southern border with 700, not 300 miles of barrier, double the border patrol and back them up with 10,000 National Guards people. That would effectively shut down human and drug smuggling from Mexico.
2) require all illegal aliens in the country right now to register at the post office with Homeland Security. After registering, they would be given a tamper proof ID card, designating their status and their right to work temporarily in the USA. If the illegal aliens do not register, it's a criminal felony. Right now sneaking across the border is a civil action. Remember that. Subjecting the person to immediate deportation or jail time. The criminal penalty goes way up.
3) Any business that hires an illegal worker who doesn't have a tamper proof ID card faces draconian fines and possible prison time for the executives.
4) Each illegal alien would have his case reviewed by federal authorities. And they would decide who would receive a Z-visa to stay and who would not. That takes the blanket amnesty, something many American hate, off the table. It also allows the feds to make rational decisions about who's helping America and who isn't.
Under that banner, no illegal alien who commits a crime while here would be allowed to stay. Also under that program, no welfare of any kind would be paid to folks here illegally. They'd have to work for their living.
Now that is a fair immigration plan that I believe would be acceptable to most Americans. It would also allow the feds to quickly build a database, so Homeland Security would know the extent of the alien intrusion, which we don't know now.
Again, any illegal alien who didn't cooperate with the new law would immediately become an outlaw. And immediate action could be taken against that non-citizen who doesn't comply. That would end the sanctuary city madness and give the federal government more tools to regain control over this out of control situation.
So there you have it — a fair plan to give good people a chance to stay here and earn citizenship down the road -- but a plan that also protects Americans. The No Spin immigration plan is, again, one page and not 800 pages. And it would work.
And that's "The Memo."
Most Ridiculous Item
In Alabama, they take their politics seriously, and sometimes things get out of hand.
Sixty-nine-year-old State Senator Charles Bishop punched 65-year-old Senator — whoa — Senator Lowell Barron in the head. Bishop did that after Barron allegedly called him an S.O.B. Bishop's a Republican, Barron is a Democrat. They disagreed over some kind of election reform bill. That's not nice.
Look at that. Boys, boys.
Now Senator Barron says he may file charges. Senator Bishop says he doesn't care. He's not going to apologize. We say the whole thing is ridiculous. Guys...
Finally tonight the mail. Before we get to it, some house-keeping notes. Please go to BillOReilly.com and vote in our poll. Did the TB guy, the tuberculosis guy do anything wrong? Yes or no.
And while we're on BillOReilly.com, pick up a spiffy gift for Dad, Father's Day a week from Sunday. Dad desperately wants a signed copy of "Culture Warrior", a "Keep it Pithy" pen — there it is — and a "No Bloviating" T-shirt.
And finally, "The Great American Culture Quiz" will be on Monday's "Factor". But you can take a written version of it in Parade magazine on Sunday. And if you go to Parade.com, they have even more culture quiz questions. A lot of fun, so please check it out.
—You can catch Bill O'Reilly's "Talking Points Memo" and "Most Ridiculous Item" weeknights at 8 and 11 p.m. ET on the FOX News Channel and any time on foxnews.com/oreilly. Send your comments to: oreilly@foxnews.com

I think there is a misprint in Bill O'Reilly's catchphrase i think it should read the "no spine zone". He seems to be out of touch with real Americans .I think somebody paid him off. We don't need new laws. We need elected officials with backbones to enforce our existing laws! It's NOT inhumane to make people follow rules!

I'm a little more complicated than a simple guy like Bill. I have 6 steps.
1. Enforce the borders with a 2,000 mile fence. Quadrouble the border patrol. We need at least 4 times as many, that's how few there are.
2. Enforce workplace laws. Penalize employers harshly with fines. Imprison repeat offenders.
3. Revise 14 Amendment. No more anchor babies.
4. Revise Visa program to keep track of Visa overstays.
5. Force local law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws by withholding money from those who do not comply.
6. Cap legal immigration to just 100,000 per year. That's it!
