Paul Chehade - To resolve the problem of illegal
immigration, we must know the origin of the causes
1888PressRelease - More than 11 million
unauthorized immigrants living and working in our
country. The legal immigration system is
inadequate to meet the needs of the U.S. in the
21 st century. Paul Chehade. We are a nation
that has always drawn much of its strength from
having people come here and add to the energy and
prosperity of the country. The immigrants who
have chosen to make the difficult and challenging
choice to move to America have often been some of
the most productive citizens of the countries
they left behind. People emigrate from one
country to another for a variety of complex
reasons. Some are forced to move, due to conflict
or to escape persecution and prejudices, while
others may voluntarily emigrate. Although such a
move may be necessary, it can be quite traumatic
on top of the challenges experienced so
far. More than 11 million unauthorized
immigrants living and working in our country. The
legal immigration system is inadequate to meet
the needs of the U.S. in the 21 st century.

We cannot deport millions of people, most of whom
are hardworking and living quiet, orderly lives.
We need to deal in a humane and reasonable way
with the millions of people who are already here
illegally. If they have acted inappropriately
while here, then we should send them back to
their native lands, but obviously that would be a
small number of people. Insufficient number of
visas are made available to bring to
workers. Family members who are eligible for
visas must wait up to 20 years. Wage and
workplace violations by unscrupulous employers
who exploit immigrants workers. Inadequate
government infrastructure is delaying the
integration of immigrants who want to become U.S.
citizens. An "illegal immigration crisis" can
mean only two things Either unenforceable laws
were passed, or enforcement of reasonable laws
has been abandoned. The solution to the situation
we have, is legalize the million undocumented
Immigrants and requiring the unauthorized
immigrants residing in the U.S. to register with
the government and meet eligibility criteria in
order to gain legal status. Some of the
benefits Bringing these hard-working immigrants
off the economic sidelines would generate tax
revenue in just the next three years. Registering
these immigrants with background checks would
ensure that we know who is here and will enable
our authorities to focus enforcement resources on
criminal elements and security threats instead of
hard-working family members.

Bringing these immigrants out of the shadows
would strike a blow to unscrupulous employers who
mistreat their employees (immigrant and
native-born alike) and help ensure worker safety
for all. Enabling immigrants to earn legal
status and to openly participate in civic life
will strengthen our communities and reduce
marginalization and exploitation. In other
words, virtually everyone except exploitive
employers and criminals are better off by
enabling these immigrants to work above board and
pay their full taxes. It is time to push aside
those in the political arena who wish to use
immigration primarily as an election tool and do
not seek or tolerate rational action. It is time
to move forward with a policy that will make us
more competitive, add to our economy and our
culture and continue to lift our nation and give
us the unique strength that comes from being a
country built on the character of the people who
immigrate here. God Bless America. Paul
