Indiana Senate Committee Passes Immigration Enforcement Law, SB590 - Florida & Other States Enact Similar Bills – Time to Streamline Immigration.

The State of Indiana’s Legislature is pushing an Immigration Enforcement Law similar to Arizona’s – it has been passed by one Senate Committee and must be run through the State Senate Appropriations Committee and before a final vote by both Indiana Houses. The Bill SB590 (Text here), cracks down on employers who hire illegal immigrants, revoking licenses, requires law enforcement to ask for identification at traffic stops, and disallows those here illegally from receiving state benefits, including tuition and clearly states “ Sec. 4. This chapter shall be enforced without regard to race, religion, gender, ethnicity, or national origin.” (source: http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2011/sb/sb0590.1.html) – The later being largely ignored by Illegal Immigration proponents who use insist the bill will be used for “racial profiling”.

Meanwhile, Florida’s Bill, SB 136 (Text here) is similar in scope to Indiana’s, from cracking down on employers to police verifying citizenship at traffic stops. There are, according to an article in the Huffington Post as of last July 20 states considering laws similar to Arizona’s.


In the case of the Florida legislation, a man from Northampton, MA who is of Hispanic decent and lists his occupation as a “student”, sent a life threatening email to one Florida state Legislator and is now in custody. Seriously, a "student". it is estimated that Massachusetts (according to 2010 census data), has a radio of 1.3 illegal immigrants to every 100 residents.

As the Federal Government continues to refuse to enforce immigration laws, and with the economy affecting States Budgets, those state that cannot afford the costs of Illegal immigrants, let alone run vital state programs, are rethinking policy. Costs associated with illegal immigrants are astronomical, specifically the border states where crime in rampant. It is possible, with Arizona now filing suit against the Federal Government for failing to protect the citizens of the state may catch on as well in other states.

The solutions are obvious – build a fence, use the military to secure the borders (and give them some teeth – say the same allowed other nations in border enforcement), and finally immediate deportation upon detection, regardless of which nation one is from. There are legal ways in which to enter the U.S., so many individuals fight to gain entry legally, though the courts. Although the illegal immigrants are now being used as a political tool by both major parties, the time has come to set some reasonable standards: As to the citizen’s ship process, lower the fees require classes only, and a valid green card or visa, and fast track those who wish to become citizens, without breaking any national laws. It is as if, by leaving the situation unchanged, for political purposes; those that appear to support “illegal immigrants” are guiltier of enslavement and manipulation for political purposes. When all is said and down, the aforementioned offers a reasonable, expedition and fair process. For those 12 to 20 million already here: a first class flight to country of origin (one way) would be cheaper than incarcerating the felons, and those here working for 5 or more years, should be, with a system in place, asked to denounce citizen ship to all other countries and be given an expedited period of time to compete a citizenship requirement test. To think that one could manually move millions is not reasonable.
Sooner or later, something has to give.
