Illegal Immigration - Attrition Through Enforcement - The True Middle-
ground Solution

President Bush and the rest of the open borders crowd constantly tell
the American people that there are only two solutions to our nation's
illegal alien crisis - give illegal aliens amnesty or round them up
and deport them. This is a diversionary tactic to draw public
attention away from the most effective and efficient solution -
Attrition Through Enforcement.

The principle behind Attrition Through Enforcement is that living
illegally in the United States will become more difficult and less
satisfying over time when the government - at ALL LEVELS - enforces
all of the laws already on the books. It is also imperative that the
government with the full cooperation of the private sector, implements
certain workplace enforcement measures. The goal is to make it
extremely difficult for unauthorized persons to live and work in the
United States. There is no need for taxpayers to watch the government
spend billions of their dollars to round up and deport illegal aliens;
they will buy their own bus or plane tickets back home if they can no
longer earn a living here.

We know Attrition Through Enforcement will work because, until
recently, it has been shown to work even with little or no
enforcement. As it currently stands, almost 200,000 illegal aliens
self-deport from the United States every year, but imagine how many
more would leave if our government refused to award illegal aliens
another amnesty, mandated all employers to verify a person's
eligibility to work here, cracked down on identity fraud, and enabled
local police to easily transfer illegal aliens in their custody to the
feds.

People Who Left the Ranks of Illegal Aliens in the Most Recent Year of
Official Record
183,000 Self-Deported
152,000 Amnestied (allowed to adjust to legal status within U.S.)
63,000 Removed by Federal Authorities
27,000 Died
456,000 Total

Attrition Through Enforcement will not reverse the pull of the jobs
magnet overnight. It may take years for employers to understand the
government is serious about enforcement of our nation's immigration
laws. As a result of some businesses that neglect to assist the
government in weeding out illegal aliens from the workforce, it also
may take years for illegal aliens to understand that American
employers are less and less willing to hire them. A cascading effect
will occur, however, when the Federal government does its job and more
communities take a stand. Communities across the nation that have
taken action to crack down on illegal immigration often see illegal
aliens leave when news about new laws or workplace raids spreads. When
the illegal aliens move to another location and that community also
cracks down, they will become discouraged and eventually self-deport.

It took 20 years to create an illegal population of more than 12
million, and it may take at least ten years to substantially reduce
that number, but the increasing number of self-deportations each year
will: (1) steadily improve the quality of life and lessen the cost of
government for Americans; (2) make jobs available for unemployed and
underemployed legal residents; and (3) discourage further illegal
migration from other countries.

According to a recent Zogby poll, when given the choice between mass
deportations, mass amnesty, and Attrition Through Enforcement, the
majority of Americans choose Attrition Through Enforcement. Most polls
reported in the mainstream media neglect to include Attrition Through
Enforcement as a viable alternative to the two mainstay survey choices
(i.e., mass deportations and mass amnesty). As such, it's easy to see
why their results are skewed.

Recent Raids Work, Open Up Jobs for Americans

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents recently conducted a
series of raids on Swift and Company meat packing plants in six states
and arrested almost 1,300 illegal aliens. We learned three very
important things from these raids:

Americans take the jobs illegal aliens leave behind : The day after
the raids took place, the media reported that plenty of legal workers
lined up to apply for the jobs left vacant by the illegal aliens who
fled or were arrested.
Identity fraud and illegal immigration are connected : Hundreds of the
illegal aliens who were arrested are suspected of using the name and
SSN of an American citizen. You can fight illegal immigration by
fighting identity fraud.
Attrition Through enforcement works: Over 400 illegal aliens skipped
town after Swift dropped hints about ICE's suspicions. Once the
message gets out that there aren't any jobs for illegal aliens, they
leave.
These raids are a good start, but raids alone will not solve the
illegal immigration crisis. Constant pressure must be placed on
illegal aliens and their employers by ICE and local governments as
part of an Attrition Through Enforcement strategy.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has said his agency is
prepared to launch similar raids on other plants - even those owned by
companies that, like Swift, have attested to comply with the voluntary
Basic Pilot program to screen employees - and to take additional
actions to track down illegal aliens who are guilty of identity theft.
NumbersUSA encourages you to help make this happen. To send free faxes
to support the raids and ask for revisions to Social Security rules
that protect Americans against ID theft by illegal aliens.

Unfortunately, most of the reaction to the raids in the media is still
being reported from the standpoints of immigration lawyers, pro-
amnesty organizations and religious leaders who say it is inhumane to
arrest people just because they have broken immigration laws and
stolen identities in order to get a job. It is extremely important
that Congress continue to hear that public sentiment is overwhelmingly
on the side of enforcement rather than amnesty and leniency.

"In 1986 Senator Kennedy said, 'This amnesty will give citizenship to
only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders
henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill
like this.' If Senator Kennedy lied to us then, how can we trust him
now?" said Beck. "Attrition through enforcement is the only fair and
feasible way to deal with the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens
currently in the United States. This proposal guarantees only that the
problem of illegal immigration will only grow exponentially as it did
after the 1986 amnesty."

Does the government have the will to enforce existing laws? Do they
two major parties
dare offend their beloved hispanics? Would the cheap labor lobby
permit their puppets
to enforce border security?
