(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.

I think that this is a very good start. I think Americans need to get behind this Senator on this and let their representatives know that they back this bill.

I agree with everything but this. Nothing says the parents have to stay. The child is a citizen, the parents are not. The parents can be sent back home, the child can stay.

I am fine with this provision. A child, born to citizens of other countries, who are here legally, would still be a US Citizen. Not the children if illegal aliens. I can get behind this bill.

The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule it.

That's our Senator Inhofe.

Anyone want to put a wager on how fast the new congress votes it down or even worse, tosses it into the black hole of committees?

I can get 4-square behind Senator Inhofe and his bill. Sounds just about perfect to me.
