MFIRE Hits Dennis On Immigration
Last week, Republican gubernatorial hopeful Dave Dennis made comments on illegal immigration that I said sounded a lot more like Haley Barbour than Phil Bryant. I was referencing what he told the Jackson Free Press in last week’s interview where he didn’t comment on pending legislation modeled after the laws in Arizona. As a result, the Mississippi Federation for Immigration Reform and Enforcement- who has endorsed by Bryant- hit back at Dennis issuing this statement:
The comments by Dave Dennis illustrate why MFIRE endorsed Phil Bryant for governor. Phil Bryant has proven that he supports our state’s efforts to protect its citizens from the harmful effects of illegal immigration. It does not appear that Mr. Dennis fully appreciates the depth of the problem of illegal immigration in Mississippi and its effects on our citizens, especially our unemployment rates and taxpayer burdens. The reason that Arizona style illegal immigration legislation has been introduced in over twenty state legislatures this year to control illegal immigration is because of the federal government’s failure to enforce laws against illegal immigration.
In the most recent edition of the Jackson Free Press (March 23, 2011), the interview with gubernatorial candidate Dave Dennis revealed some really strong reasons why Phil Bryant should be elected Governor.
When questioned about illegal immigration’s impact on Mississippi, Mr. Dennis’ nuanced comments that the problem is “clearly a federal issue” and that “we’re not a border state” indicate the type of indifference and lack of leadership on the issue of illegal immigration.
It was very telling that Dennis did not offer any solutions or any proposals to deal with what we all know is a serious problem in Mississippi, regardless of whether or not we are a border state.
Dennis even avoided giving his opinion of the current legislation pending which is the Arizona-style law that the Mississippi Senate has already approved and is now pending in the House.
Dennis’ passing the buck to the federal government is not the type of leadership Mississippi needs when the federal government has no plans whatsoever to deal with illegal immigration.
That’s why numerous states, including Mississippi, took action recently under Lt. Governor Phil Bryant’s leadership, to push forward and implement the E-Verify system. Dennis cites the fact that E-Verify is the law in place, but gives no credit to the one person who did the overwhelming amount of the work and who deserves most of the credit for getting the E-Verify system in place—and that credit goes to Phil Bryant.
For those of us who care about doing something to solve the problem of illegal immigration, Phil Bryant has been the leader on this issue and he’s proven it time after time. We never have to guess where he stands, and that’s real leadership. That’s why we support Phil Bryant for governor.
I agree with Dave Dennis as well as Governor Barbour,we do not need an Arizona style bill. While there definitely is an immigration problem here that must be addressed,if does not necessarily have to be addressed by using Arizona’s plan. We are not bordered by Mexico therefore implementing a plan of that magnitude would be senseless and cost more money that at don’t have,Phil Bryant can not appreciate this as he hasnt been in the private sector,Dave has. Rather than attack him on this issues,applaud his common sense businessman approach.
Big business wants “business as usual”. Of course they don’t want to get rid of the cheap labor.
The Illegal Immigration War at Home
The 14th Amendment clarifies that any child born on the soil of the United States, has immediate citizenship and all the benefits that is commanded by that law. Until this law is amended of rescinded the repercussions on this country are immense, spending in the billions of dollars each year. Many pregnant women lie to the Immigration and Customs official at airport terminals or just slip across the US borders, in the dead of night. Illegal immigration has become a controversial issue, as painful as the unemployment issue. After the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act, the American people expected the federal government to enforce the laws, which included severe penalties for businesses that hired illegal workers; instead the US people were financially-raped. Instead millions of Guest Workers received amnesty then left their farming jobs and vanished into the workforce nationwide. Those numbers that received amnesty, snowballed the chain migration, bring in family members that taxpayers now pay.
Since then-SIX-other furtive amnesties has slipped by public notice and that doesn’t include the importation of approximately 1.5 million legal immigrants annually. By revising the 14th amendment the billions of dollars in education, health care, food stamps, Medicaid, Section 8 housing, cash payments and other undisclosed welfare programs could cease.In some States illegal aliens can collect Worker’s compensation and unemployment benefits. All that money could be diversified to senior Citizens, who haven’t received no cost of living payment in two years. Veterans living under bridges or in shelters could be allocated the low income homes that illegal parents allowed to stay, get preference for their offspring born here. All these public services and entitlements have been drawn away from the US workers, who paid into the system since the beginning of their working life. No matter what the pessimists and open border zealots say, every taxpayer would be willing to pay a few cents more to stop the fraudulent-oriented Guest worker programs.
Taxpayer are being ripped-off by paying for those agricultural laborers when they get sick or injured, as the farmer is not obligated to pay for their children’s education the families health care. This has become a financially vicious circle that will not end, with either the deep entrenched Liberal-Democrats, Republicans or any political entity other than the committed TEA PARTY. The TEA PARTY is growing much faster from the dominant Republicans, and certain politicians are discarding there old parties to join this third party. The Tea Party is secular in definition, non-partisan with open registration for all legal racial, including ethnic majorities and minorities. The Tea Parties core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Limited Government, Free Market and a Strong National Security. We have great substance in the leadership who are fighting against the old, tired “Business as Usual” political hard liners, who will keep our taxes spiraling and spending our grand children’s futures.
There will be no compromise with either party who keep the dollars flowing; printing more as our US debt are extended uncontrollably. All elected officials should be on notice that if you are anti-sovereignty and pro-illegal immigrant, they will be removed from office. That will be every Governor, Mayor, Police Chief and city manager. Every form of illegal immigration must be terminated, with businesses accountable and should be heavily fined, assets taken and long prison sentences. Obama’s team also needs to be held accountable, as with prior President George Bush and even Ronald Reagan’s leadership. Unions are also not be held to the same policies of enforcement, even though amongst their membership illegal workers are in their midst. The 1986 travesty sent both legal and illegal immigration, in the tens of millions and beyond into our country. The ultra-leftists are demoralized and the TEA PARTY has rattled their fetid cages, because the TEA PARTY has erased their wide open border ideas. Once the illegal immigrant war is won by building the real double fence and deploying 5000 troops along the border, we can cut-out all the special preferences such as Political Correctness “Press One for English.” If any minority wants to legally come here, they had better learn the national language, which is causing great hardships in our overcrowded schools.
Extremely intelligent, the highest skilled workers don’t not need public welfare and never will and therefore should get special preferences to immigrate America is a place of opportunity, but the taxpayers are being overtaxed to pay for the foreign nationals who come here to steal the American dream, using child tax credits to profit. Criminals have compromised our tax code, and are thieving millions of dollars, as if the government stays ignorant to this fact. Our prisons are full of criminal aliens, drug dealers, murders, gang members and a complex assortment of nefarious activities. No more amnesties, immigration reform dream acts or anything else. The Illegal immigration issue should be important to every legitimate American, as it affects every-bodies pay check. There should be no exceptions to every county using Secure Communities police fingerprinting and detainment of individuals being processed, along with the new version of E-Verify. The new innovations to E-Verify will make it almost impossible, for any illegal worker to slip past the verification procedure. 287 (g) is still enforce around the country, to question any wrongdoer who is driving a vehicle. These tools must be made permanent and Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) can suck a lemon, as he tried to eradicate all these restriction programs. Other than California, Nevada has the highest population of foreign nationals in the country. America is a pressure valve for other corrupt governments for their unemployed and those living in abject poverty.
Attention: Using veiled threats Acorn and its ilk, threatened the banking industry with boycotts, unless they loosened laws on lending. “Ninja loans” reluctantly given to low income, illegal aliens, with no credit, no assets, which crippled the housing market, were causing the financial crash in the USA. The Leftists will not advertise this explosive revelation; read about it on Google and the consequences.

Millions of American citizens and their families suffer greatly because of these ILLEGAL aliens from south of the border. I will never support these low life criminals no matter how much propaganda these so called newspaper cry for them to have special rights above the people legally here. They had no respect for the laws in Mexico and they have no respect for the laws or people in the USA.
I’d like to know which candidates signed the drug testing petition.
I can not believe the Illegal Immigration Bill died in committee. All over whether to fine businesses for hiring illegals?
My understanding is that the fine for employing illegals was the poison pill inserted by the dems. it would violate Federal law and the courts would overturn the law if it passed and was challenged. The original bill in the Senate and the version the Senate passed called for a business that purposeflly violated to lose their business liscense, which the courts have upheld in other legislation. The House bill would have also still have imposed the illegal “fine” even if e-verify had been wrong, another poison pill.
