Floridians  for  Immigration  Enforcement

 

When immigration is viewed only racially and culturally, limits and legality will never be imposed.  The debate must focus on limitations and lawfulness, otherwise open borders will make the United States a marketplace and not a country.

FLoridians for IMmigration ENforcement (FLIMEN) is a group of concerned Florida citizens dedicated to advocating immigration enforcement.  The group will also strive to eliminate illegal immigration incentives and will challenge the myths and pandering by elected officials and newspapers.  Please consider signing up for free FLIMEN Alerts.

TWO BATTLES / LINKS / JUPITER

TWO BATTLES

The next few months will be intense with two major battles on-going at once:

  1. E-Verify.  FLIMEN is still actively seeking Senate and Representative sponsors for the proposed Florida Citizen's Employment Protection Act of 2010 bill that will protect citizen's jobs.  The attitude of Senators and Representatives from both Republican and Democratic parties is indeed discouraging.  However hopefully we are on the verge of several major break-throughs.  SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION!
     
  2. AMNESTY.  The horrific Gutierrez AMNESTY bill was filed in December mainly to placate the Democratic Left.  The AMNESTY vehicle bill is now be written by Senators Charles Schumer and Lindsay Graham and is expected to be introduced out of the US Senate in late January or February, 2010.  Along with the typical rewarding of illegal alien provisions, a move to replace governmental caps on the number of immigrants by a "market-based" system is expected.  That would mean employers can bring in as many foreign workers as they want.  Removal of caps is 'jobs genocide' for American workers.  SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION!

JUPITER - Jupiter Jubilee

 

The Jupiter Jubilee is an festival by the Town of Jupiter with a venue directly behind the Jupiter Illegal Alien Hiring Hall (El Sol).   Because Jupiter has a policy to enable the felonious hiring of illegal aliens it would be great to supplement the core group of protesting patriots on February 6, 2010.  This will be a great time to get our message out to many people so please try to attend!

 

Date:         February 6, 2010

Time:        10 AM until as long as you can

Location: Indiantown Rd and Military Trail in Jupiter

DREAM Act Promotional

The Palm Beach (Com)Post has published a DREAM Act promotional piece about DREAM walkers (at least one is admittedly an illegal alien) and a Lake Worth resolution by Anarchist Lake Worth Commissioner Cara Jennings.  Of course the (Com)Post failed to mention that the effect of the DREAM Act (AKA Nightmare Act) will be to ruin an equal number of citizen student's college dreams or else reduce college qualtity to the same awful K-12 public school quality. 

FLMEN has learned that one activist has notified ICE.

HELP PUT FLORIDIANS BACK TO WORK!!

Florida currently has one million, twelve thousand unemployed Floridians, yet many jobs are being taken by Florida's one million illegal aliens.

Despite months of effort, not one Florida Senator or Representative has stepped forward to sponsor the proposed Florida Citizen's Employment Protection Act of 2010 bill, an E-Verify bill that helps ensure jobs are held by citizens and immigrants, not illegal aliens.

Your help is desperately needed to secure Senate and House sponsorship of the bill.

FLIMEN has sent the letters to most but not all Florida Representatives and Senators asking them to sponsor the proposed Florida Citizen's Employment Protection Act of 2010 bill that will protect citizen's jobs. Each one of them has received a letter explaining the E-Verify program success in other states along with a survey To date, not one of them has offered to sponsor legislation that will put their fellow citizens back to work. 

CONTACT YOUR FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATOR TODAY!

Please stand with the unemployed Floridians and demand that these legislators protect our jobs. You should contact your Florida State Representative and Senator to politely demand that they sponsor the proposed Florida Citizen's Employment Protection Act of 2010 bill:

Florida State Representatives

Florida State Senators

The Contact Officials page now has email lists for all Florida Senators and Representatives so that up to 25 elected officials can be educated with one email message.

If you email them, please copy jack@flimen.org with your letter and any response they may have.  If you would like to help with this legislative effort, please email jack@flimen.org.

 

E-VERIFY FOR FLORIDA MUST BE ENACTED

1. E-Verify is a highly successful federal program where employers are required to confirm the legal status of new hires.
2. E-Verify effectively addresses the main enabler of illegal immigration -- the job magnet.
3. E-Verify has been highly successful in about 15 states and a number of municipalities as well has voluntary employers.
4. E-Verify is highly accurate.

5. E-Verify applies only to new hires which allows employers to phase into legality without undue burden.

 

So far Florida's State Senators and Representatives have not stepped forward to sponsor the proposed Florida Citizen's Employment Protection Act of 2010 bill, therefore the effort to garner sponsors and enactment has to be a full-force, grassroots effort where every possible individual and group needs to call, visit and persuade their FL state Senator and Representative to enact the common sense E-Verify bill.

SMASH AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS

CIR ASAP:

The AMNESTY bill filed by Rep Luis Gutierrez in December 2009 will not likely be the vehicle for the 2010 amnesty attempt.  It is expected that Senators Charles Schumer and Lindsey Graham will introduce the amnesty vehicle out of the Senate in January or February 2010.

http://cis.org/Amnesty2010/CIRASAP-HR4321

House Democrats Massive Amnesty Bill

 

Reasons that AMNESTY is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong:

1.    Rule of law must prevail.  USA is a democracy based on laws.  When laws are blatantly not enforced over a long term, the ultimate result is anarchy.  Although US has not yet reached the chaos of anarchy, the non-enforcement of immigration laws has created much internal tension because citizens often and rightfully feel that illegal aliens are above the law.

2.    Incentive for more illegal immigration.  History has shown that AMNESTY causes more legal and illegal immigration. According to the Heritage Foundation, the 2006 AMNESTY bill would allow an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years.  This mass of humanity would exert considerable stress to any society.

3.    Displacement of American workers.  Illegal aliens hold 7 million jobs while more than 11 million citizens are unemployed and millions more underemployed.

4.    High Costs.  Immigration has high costs including an estimated $3.8b annually just for Florida

5.    Reduction of Services.  Illegal immigration degrades citizen's services such as K-12 public school overcrowding.

 

Quick Summary of Illegal Immigration:

Approximately 40% of the illegal alien population have expired visas (visa overstayers) and approximately 60% have crossed the border illegally (undocumented aliens).  Illegal aliens buy false documents for $150.  Illegal aliens with fraudulent IDs are almost never prosecuted.  Most federal, state, and local governmental agencies claim enforcement of immigration laws is not their responsibility.  Enforcement of immigration laws is lacking because the will of the government to enforce the laws is lacking. The biggest problem facing immigration reform is the effective but bogus 'racializing' (linking something to race) of immigration enforcement.  This is demonstrated when open borders advocates wrongly accuse enforcement advocates of being racist, Klu Klux Klan, etc. The media is significantly to blame for the illegal immigration crisis because of their prolific use of euphemisms, lies and omissions.  Democrat's liberal guilt and Republican's pandering for cheap labor are to blame as well.  Borders are porous and must be secured. Interior enforcement could be easy - just penalize employers with SSN mismatches.  The law and procedures are already in place --- all that is missing is our government's will to enforce and that must and will change.

There has been much debate on border security but little on document security.  If and when the borders are finally secure, little will be achieved unless document security is addressed and solved as law breakers will merely present counterfeit documents to gain entry.

http://cis.org/Transcripts/IDTheftPanel

 

The Three Supremacist Groups:

Illegal Immigration and AMNESTY is an extraordinarily difficult issue to address because the pro-AMNESTY anti-enforcement arguments come from three different groups, each with unique arguments.  Each group has a perceived benefit which they believe trump the rule of law.  Nonetheless, the overwhelming majority of citizens oppose illegal immigration and AMNESTY.

1.    Moral Supremacists.  Often religious groups such as the Catholic Church claim morality as a reason to ignore the rule of law.  While human rights and morality advocates may vociferously claim that it is not wrong to cross a border illegally such a right is not provided in the widely accepted United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states in Article 13, line 2:

"Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country."

Article 13 does not provide the right for any global citizen to illegally enter any host nation they so choose. 

2.    Economic Supremacists. Often economic interests claim that their interests supersede the rule of law in order to profit from lower wage foreign labor.  For example, the Chamber of Commerce has a massive lobby to insure the flow of illegal foreign labor to a subset of Chamber members who want to hire foreign workers rather than American workers.  The downside is that the social costs of supporting masses of foreign laborers accrue to tax payers and local governments in addition to making an uneven playing field for the businesses who abide by the law.

3.    Racial/Ethnic Supremacists.  Groups like National Council of La Raza (The Race) loudly and actively espouse that Hispanics should not be subject to the rule of law.  While Hispanics are widely represented, there are many other ethno-centric groups as well with each group seeking special treatment for their racial, cultural, or ethnic preferences. 

 

The Seven Amnesties Passed by Congress:

The most important aspect of the history of amnesties is that the 1986 was promoted as the last amnesty.  The enforcement provisions of the 1986 amnesty were never enforced and led to today’s current crisis.  They were described as “amnesty” in the past but now is touted as “Comprehensive Immigration Reform.”

Inaccurate Language:

The “debate” on immigration has been more of a name-calling contest than a real discussion of the cost/benefits of legal and illegal immigration.  It has been difficult to rationally discuss the problem because of skewed definitions, euphemisms, oxymorons and other word games. 

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Democrats-play-word-games-on-immigration-7900449-49456097.html?popup=false

 

Amnesty and Joblessness:

American workers real wages and benefits have been stagnant or decreased over the past few decades.  Unemployment is currently over 10%.  Underemployment is significant but generally not an issue because of overemphasis on the very narrow short-term unemployment statistic.  Almost forgotten in the jobs debate is the old trusted law of supply and demand.  With the mass inflow of foreign labor over several decades, supply is up and should be no surprise that wages and benefits are stagnant or down.  Because of the oversupply of low skill workers, newly arrived immigrants (legal by definition) are disproportionally affected.

USCIS

There has been very little discussion on how persons given amnesty would be processed.  USCIS does not have the capability to process applicants in a secure manner.

Costs:

With our dire financial crisis and mounting job losses facing US citizens and immigrants (legal by definition), we can no longer afford the huge costs of illegal invasion and AMNESTY.

2) Florida's Illegal Alien Hiring Halls Section

Florida Illegal Alien Hiring Halls

Numerous Florida municipalities are rapidly proliferating the El Sol model in a misguided attempt to combat on-the-street job solicitation by unlawfully present foreign nationals.  The El Sol model started in Jupiter. 

Legitimizing illegal hiring by officially sanctioning illegal alien hiring halls is not a solution.  Consider:

  • The effect of hiring illegal foreign workers lowers the wages and benefits of American workers.

  • Significant costs to taxpayers include public education, emergency health care and law enforcement.  See Impacts.

  • Illegal alien hiring halls are exacerbating the problem by providing a job magnet to further the illegal invasion. 

  • The illegal hiring transactions are a federal felony

 

When will the El Sol Plague reach your neighborhood?

The Lake Worth, Loxahatchee Groves and Miami-Dade Bay halls are modeled after the El Sol model.  

El Sol proponents seemingly are seeking to rival McDonald's expansion plans.  Per a September 16, 2006 Palm Beach (Com)Post editorial:

"El Sol has the chance to be the model for Lake Worth, West Palm Beach and cities throughout South Florida that realize the corrosive effects of ignoring a problem that isn't going away."

 

Because the El Sol model is a root cause of the proliferations, citizen opponents and FLIMEN have made it a priority to shut down El Sol.  For information on Jupiter and the other sites:

Actions you should take to help shut down El Sol are:

 Fellow citizens, we have the fight of our lives if we are to save this country!
