Senator Inhofe introduces immigration bill
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) May 2 – Senator Jim Inhofe has once again introduced a bill aimed at the increasing number of illegal immigrants in the United States.
Inhofe’s ENFORCE – Engaging the Nation to Fight for Our Right to Control Entry – Act would increase border security, emphasize greater enforcement of existing immigration laws and prevent amnesty and other shortcuts for illegal immigrants.
Major Provisions in Inhofe's ENFORCE Act:
· Establishes the National Border Neighborhood Watch (NBNW) Program allowing retired law enforcement officers to assist Border Patrol agents by reporting illegal border crossings.
· Makes unlawful-presence in the United States a felony.
· Establishes an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
· Authorizes funding for online immigration training for state and local law enforcement officers.
· Eliminates the practice of granting automatic U.S. citizenship to children born to illegal immigrants in an effort to reduce 'anchor babies.'
· Establishes an independent verification system for Social Security numbers; also mandates that immigrant's Social Security numbers expire when visa runs out.
· Establishes electronic birth & death registries to fight fraudulent Social Security cards
· Helps reduce Individual Taxpayer Identification Number abuse.
· Empowers state & local law enforcement to carryout immigration laws (but does not make it mandatory).
· Establishes penalties for most flagrant employer tax violations-i.e. if an employer willfully files incorrect tax returns, they will be assessed the maximum penalties available.
· Makes it illegal to operate day laborer centers for illegal aliens and to give them unemployment assistance.
· Eliminates in-state tuition benefits for illegal aliens.
