Social Security 'Totalization' - Examining a Lopsided Agreement with Mexico Panel Discussion

Cong. Dana Rohrbacher: "Add to this the new McCarthyism, I call it, which is, every time one attempts to discuss the immigration issue in an open and honest way, even with a loving heart, they end up being called racists, and thus, people – honest people are afraid, and good people are afraid to even discuss the issue of illegal immigration into this country."

System blind to overstayed visas

Sat, Sep. 16, 2006 McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON -- The government has spent $900 million on a database to track foreign travelers. When they arrive in the United States, their fingerprints and photographs are logged electronically into a computer database and their names are checked against criminal records and terrorist watch lists.

But 10 years after Congress first ordered the US-VISIT system, the Homeland Security Department hasn't set up a way for the same visa-holders to check out when they leave the country, so officials still don't know how many of them stay in the country illegally.

"Right now we really just have an expensive super-duper, high-tech entry system that doesn't make much sense to have," Stock said.

The gap in information helps fuel criticism of the Bush administration's proposed foreign guest worker program. Opponents question how authorities would keep tabs on perhaps millions of new temporary workers if they can't keep track of tourists, students and business executives.

"No matter what anybody feels about immigration, I think most people would agree that we should have a sense of who is authorized to be in the country and who isn't," said Jessica Vaughan, a senior policy analyst for the Center for Immigration Studies, a research center that advocates tougher immigration enforcement.[snip]

Without illegal aliens, the price of agricultural products and other goods and services will NOT soar. The definitive study on this subject is the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" The study concludes that 'since labor is such a small component of the end-price of agricultural products (which includes price to the growers, transportation costs, processing /storage costs, grocers' profit, etc.), using minimum wage workers instead of illegal aliens would increase prices of agricultural products by approximately 3 percent in the summer and 4 percent in the winter ... hardly the making of $10 heads of lettuce, $25 hamburgers, $1,000 per night Days Inn hotel rooms like the pro-illegal alien lobby claims.

The number of Hispanic radio stations in the United States grew from 645 in 2003 to 839 this year, according to Arbitron.

"Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."
