The Simple Solution to the Illegal Immigration Problem

The illegal immigration problem has been a prime issue the conservatives rail against. The conservative movement has used this issue to ignite a wave of hate against the hispanic community and instill fear in the america public. They are proponents of spending hundreds of millions of dollars to build higher and longer walls and increase the number of agents on the US-Mexico border. The conservatives are also proponents of maintaining the status quo when it comes to the companies and corporations that hire these illegal immigrants.
The penalty for hiring illegal immigrants is minor compared to the harsh treatment of an immigrant often ripped from his family and jailed awaiting a hearing and deportation. Deporting the estimated 10 million plus illegal immigrants is unrealistic

The current penalties are as follows:

There are civil and criminal penalties for hiring illegal aliens. Sec. 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and 8 U.S.C. 1324a, makes it unlawful for any person knowingly to hire, recruit or refer for a fee any alien not authorized to work. An employer that violates these laws can face penalties of:

· $250 to $2,000 fine for each unauthorized individual;

· $2,000 to $5,000 for each employee if the employer has previously been in violation; or

· $3,000 to $10,000 for each individual if the employer was subject to more than one cease and desist order.

The employer could also be fined $100 to $1,000 for each individual “paperwork” violation.

The criminal penalties for a pattern and practice violation can be up to $3,000 for each unauthorized alien, imprisonment up to six months, or both.

A recent study found this:

A new study by Rajeev Goyle and David A. Jaeger for the Center for American Progress in Washington calculates the cost of mass deportation to be at least $206 billion over five years. The annual cost of $41 billion would exceed the entire budget of the Department of Homeland Security ($34.2 billion) and would be more than double the annual spending on border and transportation security ($19.3 billion).

The only way to stem the tide of illegal immigration is to make the penalties to employers so repugnant that they will go to great lengths to make sure they are hiring properly documented workers. If there are no jobs available for illegal immigrants than they won’t have a reason to cross the border.

I suggest we stop the focus on the immigrant and place it on the employers that hire them. Here are some penalty suggestions to stem the tide of illegal immigration:

$5,000 and 6 months mandatory jail time on the first conviction. ( Business principal or CEO would serve the time )

$10,000 and 3 years mandatory prison time and forfeiture of business property and equipment on the second conviction. ( Business principal or CEO would serve the time )

$250,000 and 15 years mandatory prison time and forfeiture of business property and equipment on the third conviction. ( Business principal or CEO would serve the time )

This would also have the added benefit of creating jobs for US Citizens and increasing tax revenue and lowering the deficit. The problem is, you won’t see a conservative touting a measure that would actually stem the tide of illegal workers. It would cut into the profits of the companies and corporations that support them. They would rather just hurl hate and lies and make you fear a minority rather than solve the problem they rail against.

Tara Servatius Linked to Terrorist White Supremacist Group : League of the South

Here is a picture of WBT-1110 hate radio personality Tara Servatius attending a League of the South meeting. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there are 29 hate groups in North Carolina. 4 of these are League of the South groups located in Charlotte, Durham, Wilmington and Burlington.

The League of the South is a White Supremacist Organization that advocates the destruction of the United States of America and the US Constitution.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center “The League of the South is a neo-Confederate group that advocates for a second Southern secession and a society dominated by “European Americans.” The league believes the “godly” nation it wants to form should be run by an “Anglo-Celtic” (read: white) elite that would establish a Christian theocratic state and politically dominate blacks and other minorities.”

What are some of the League of the South’s beliefs according to the SPLC ?

As a general matter, they don’t think the Civil War was fought over slavery — it was really about tariffs, or imposing a newly powerful federal government on the South, or spreading the industrialsystem of the North. They say that the South was “invaded,” even if Southerners fired the first shots at Fort Sumter, S.C.

Most don’t think slavery was all that bad, and some believe that segregation was a perfectly fine policy meant to protect the integrity of both races, black and white alike.

They think that Lincoln was an evil man, bent on destroying the South and willing to use any excuse to do so. They typically see the North as godless, and determined to wreck the Southerner’s natural religiosity. They believe the core population of the South and the bearer of its culture is “Anglo-Celtic,” meaning white. Many support theocracy, oppose interracial marriage and reject the notion of equality.

I have listened to Tara Servatius on a daily basis for some time. The hate she spews towards the United States of America is well known. And barely a day goes by that she isn’t trying to drive a wedge between the white and black community. And if she can make fun of a gay person along the way then her day has been fulfilled. Its all in a days work for WBT-1110’s latest Hate Radio jock.

Tara Sevatius does not represent our community. She represents a very narrow and hateful view of America. Its time for her to find a new occupation.

WBT-1110 and Tara Servatius Spreading More Hate and Lies About the Muslim Community

Today, I listened to Tara go on and on about the Mosque “AT” ground Zero. But as usual she wasn’t telling truth. There is NO Mosque at Ground Zero. And if you read below you will find out the truth about what many sick people have been trying to perpetrate against the American people. I don’t think it serves in the best interest of the community to allow someone with Tara’s extremist views to represent Charlotte. She has an agenda of hate against the poor, black people, gay people, immigrants and Muslims. Tara calls herself a journalist but often blatantly lies to promote her brand of hate. Tara’s so-called Mosque is a community center and it is NOT at the Ground Zero site as she would have you believe. Sadly enough I have made staff at WBT-1110 aware of this and they don’t seem to care. Tara Servatius and WBT-1110 are guilty of inciting hatred against people they don’t even know. Below is the truth about the location of what she calls the Mosque “AT” Ground Zero.

From the Huffington Post:

From 45 Park Place, the former Burlington Coat Factory building that will make way for the Cordoba House, it’s two blocks, around a corner, to get to the WTC site. Park Place doesn’t lie between the construction site and any mass transit stations, so you would need to go out of your way to have it offend you.

If you look up the walking directions you’ll notice that it takes a couple of minutes to walk the distance (approximately a tenth of a mile) between the two spots. Pretty much two minutes exactly when I took the trip with a shaky video camera.

When the new World Trade Center rises, you’ll be able to see it from 45 Park Place, because it’ll be by far the tallest thing around. The planned Cordoba House will be dwarfed. It certainly won’t overlook or overshadow Ground Zero.

Why is the distance between the two sites so important? Simple accuracy, for one. It’s frustrating to see so many commentators blithely disregard an obvious, physical problem with the “mosque at Ground Zero” formulation: it’s not at Ground Zero.

Clyde Haberman of the New York Times further explains the significance:

There’s that “at.” For a two-letter word, it packs quite a wallop. It has been tossed around in a manner both cavalier and disingenuous, with an intention by some to inflame passions. Nobody, regardless of political leanings, would tolerate a mosque at ground zero. “Near” is not the same, as anyone who paid attention back in the fourth grade should know.

I understand the journalist’s impulse to use the “Ground Zero Mosque” shorthand to instantly remind readers why they should care about the story. Headlines leave out qualifiers like “near” all the time for brevity’s sake. But in this case the elision is critical; leaving out the “near” clearly takes sides — against the “mosque” and against accuracy.

In addition, the building planned for 45 Park Place is a cultural center with a prayer room — not a single-purpose house of worship for Muslims, which is probably what we should reserve the word “mosque” for. As Haberman also explains, “That it may even be called a mosque is debatable. It is designed as a multi-use complex with a space set aside for prayer — no minarets, no muezzin calls to prayer blaring onto Park Place.”

The 92nd Street Y, on which the Cordoba House is explicitly modeled, has a whole host of Jewish events take place inside of it, but no one calls it a synagogue. There’s no good reason why Cordoba House should be misleadingly called a “mosque.” I’ve been guilty of using this word too, in conversation and in writing, but it’s inaccurate. Muslims already read the Quran and pray at 45 Park Place, but that does not and will not turn it into a “mosque.”

There’s one more catch for the opponents of the so-called Ground Zero mosque: by the same logical leap you can call the Cordoba Center a “mosque,” you can also call Ground Zero as it already exists a giant, open-air mosque. Muslim prayers are already taking place right on the edge of the construction site, and not for world domination. Families are going there to pray — for the souls of the dozens of innocent Muslim victims who died on September 11.

Tara Servatius Hating Gay People For Kicks and Ratings at WBT-1110

Tara Servatius : Hating gay people for kicks and ratings on WBT-1110 radio ?

From Webster’s dictionary:

Bigot : a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred      and   intolerance

Hate : intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury  : extreme dislike or antipathy

It’s hard to believe that in the year 2010 there are still people and business’s that still make their money spreading hate and fear. I guess my mistake is that I live in Charlotte, NC and some people still  think it is the 1950’s and 1960’s. Tara Servatius is an afternoon talk show host on WBT-1110 AM. It seems that almost every day she goes out of her way to spread hate, fear of lies about one group or  another.

The reason I am writing today is how alarming I find that people like Tara Servatius are actually hired. Tara’s latest bad habit is the disparaging remarks she has been making about gay  people,  namely gay men. The other day she equated that gay men are not  “real” men and ride around on bicycles in tight shorts and that bicycling in general is a gay sport. Remarks like these are purely  stereotypes. Stereotypes have been used to degrade  and separate all types of minority groups throughout history.

I tried to contact Tara Servatius on the air and asked her why she thought it was  appropriate to discriminate against gay people on several occasions. I was also told by a producer that I could e-mail  her and ask her. I sent her several e-mails, very short and too the point. They said ” Tara, why does it matter to you if someone is gay or not ? ” I sent this e-mail sevaral times and have yet to receive a  response. This is coming from a person that has demanded that the governor come on her show and answer questions.

Spreading hate and perpetuating negativity about your fellow human beings is no way to make a living and its now way to make money. I hope in the future WBT-1110 either wises up or is demolished by a competitor with a more ethical plan to bring news to Charlotte. And as far a Tara Servatius goes, all we can do is hope she will change or find a new profession.

Tara Servatius Takes Hate To A New Level At WBT-1110 Radio

Once again Tara Servatius and WBT-1110 Hate Radio have reached a new low. Tara Servatius and the Klan over at WBT are trying to claim that the reason the Republicans lost the mayors race and now lag behind on the city council 8 to 3 is because black people are racists. It couldn’t simply be because the Democrats were much more organized and that the Republicans didn’t turn out. During her shows on Wednesday and Thursday she used the words black and white approximately 50 times. She had the audacity to try and say that ALL of the Black Voters in Charlotte are racists because they didn’t vote for a White Republican. Tara went to a private school and went to an expensive college and got an expensive journalism degree but obviously she didn’t learn much. Maybe its time she get an education about what happens when you spread hate and lies about people you know little about. She is a sad individual and doesn’t represent our fine city. I have been listening to WBT for over 12 years and have never heard a more repulsive racist rampage as I heard in the past 2 days. It is time to rethink a strategy against this type of broadcasting and it is definitely time for WBT-1110 to go. WBT-1110 has worn out its welcome in Charlotte. It is time to move on and stamp out racism once and for all in Charlotte. It will take all of us working together, but it can be done.

Tara Servatius Perpertrating Lies About the Mosque that isn’t being built at Ground Zero

Replace “Wrong Way” Joe Wilson with War Veteran and Marine Officer Rob Miller

Poll: Joe Wilson trailing Democratic rival

 

A newly-released poll shows Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C) has seriously endangered his re-election prospects by shouting out “you lie!” during President Obama’s speech to Congress this week.

The poll, commissioned by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, shows that Wilson trails his Democratic opponent Rob Miller, 44 to 43 percent. A sizable 62 percent majority of voters said they disapproved of Wilson’s actions, with only 29 percent approving.

The electorate was closely split on whether President Obama was telling the truth when he said his health care plan would not cover illegal immigrants – 46 percent said he was telling the truth, while 42 percent said they thought the president was lying.

“In a matter of seconds Joe Wilson turned himself from a safe incumbent into one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country for 2010,” PPP pollster Dean Debnam wrote.

It’s a bit premature to be writing Wilson’s political obituary yet. The congressman won the district with 54 percent of the vote last year, a number depressed by the record level of African-American turnout in a presidential election. And it would be useful to see additional polling in the district before drawing any firm conclusions.

But one thing’s for sure, Miller has raised close to $800,000 since Wilson’s outburst and he’ll have plenty of cash to spend against him during crunch time. That fact alone makes it likely the race will be competitive, and guarantees we’ll be hearing more about Joe Wilson in the months to come.

Citizen Wells, Philip Berg and the Scam Behind President Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate

Whenever you have an election there are some sore sports or poor losers that will make false acusations against the candidate they didn’t want to win. This has disintigrated into the rediculous with Citizen Wells and Philip J. Berg Esq. Philip Berg has filed spurious claims in the court system claiming that president Obama is not qualified to be the President of the United States. Citizen Wells has been there with him all along the way helping him raise money. Now that these claims have worked all the way through the court system and have been thrown out all the way to the US Supreme Court. The problem I see is that Citizen Wells and Philip J. Berg are still asking for people’s money on their websites to support this spurrios legal claim that has already been through the court system . Where is this money going and how is it all being spent ? Its time for some answers.

Representative Sue Myrick Supports the Rich as Usual.

Representative Sue Myrick (R) North Carolina supported Rush Limbaugh’s war against the poor and the middle class when she voted against President Obama’s Recovery Package. Like Limbaugh, Sue Myrick doesn’t seem to care about people that are not as fortunate as her. Sue Myrick wants more tax cuts for the rich and corporations so they can invest in sending more of our jobs overseas. Ms. Myrick has turned her back on the hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers of our state to support her rich freinds. We need to do everything possible to make sure Sue Myrick is not re-elected to public office because she doesn’t support the people, she only supports the wealthy. Myricks  plan from her own press release doesn’t do anything for people who are unemployed and in trouble, only offers more money to the same people that put our people out of work and sent our jobs overseas.

Myrick supports an alternative plan that will:

• Cut income tax rates by 5% across the board
• Increase the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $5,000
• Make 15% tax rate on capital gains and dividends permanent
• End capital gains tax on inflation
• Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax
• Make all IRS withdrawals tax and penalty free during 2009
• Increase tax deduction for student loans and higher education expenses by 50%
• Allow businesses to fully deduct the cost of business-related assets purchased in 2009
• Cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25%
• Allow small-business owners a tax deduction equal to 20% of their overall income

Some of the reasons why Myrick does NOT support the proposed stimulus package being voted on in Congress:

• Vows to create jobs through infrastructure spending, then allocates only 3% of the total package to infrastructure
• Spends an average of $210,000 on each job expected to be created
• Only 38% of the funds will be spent before 2011
• Funds programs with large, unbalanced budgets that have been deemed ineffective by the Congressional Budget Office
• Spends $650 million for digital TV coupons
• Spends $44 million to repair the US Department of Agriculture headquarters
• Spends $166 billion on states that have failed to balance their budgets

Rush Limbaugh v. Everyone Else

It must suck to be Rush Limbaugh. It seems like the sad little man has painted himself into a corner. I listened to him say today that there are no conservatives in elected office anymore. That means to me that in Rush Limbaugh’s mind that every Republican voter is an idiot. This is coming from the genius that told all the Republicans to change parties and vote for Hillary because she would be easier to beat that President Obama in the general election. His latest stroke of genius is to state to all of his listeners that he hopes that everything that President Obama does fails. This shows you tha true nature of Rush Limbaugh. He failed miserably during the 2008 election and proved that the conservative movement has changed and that some common sense has prevailed. Now Rush, the spoiled little rich boy is going to take his ball and go home. He is just out to reek havock on the coutry and try to divide people as much as possible. Rush has soiled his repuation and probably destroyed any credibility he once had among the real conservative base. Now all he has left are conspiracy theorists,  militia types and hatemongers. One sad little man doesn’t stand a chance against the American people. When you attack your own political party and are already hated by everyone else your days are numbered. Bye Rush.

Rush Limbaugh : De facto Leader of the Conservative Movement

I recently did some research on Rush Limbaugh, the De facto leader of the conservative movement. De Facto means something not necessarily endorsed by the law but something that is considered to be the norm in everyday use. There seems to be a leadership vacuum in the Republican Party since the conservatives were trounched in the 2008 elections. When President Obama said “Stop listening to Rush Limbaugh if you want to get things done” and didn’t refer to our elected republican leadership I would say that makes Rush Limbaugh the De Facto leader. So who is this Rush Limbaugh, the leader of the conservative movement and arch enemy of the majority of Americans that had the nerve to go out and vote for a candidate not endorsed by the great Maha Rushie as he so lovingly calls himself on his show ? Well of you take even a brief look at Rush Limbaugh you will find that the emperor has no clothes. Rush is just another hypocrite paid a bunch of money to sell commercials on a nationally syndicated radio show. On his show, Rush Limbaugh says he represents conservationism, unfortunately when you look at the life Rush Limbaugh lives, you may see anther story.

Rush Limbaugh the patriot ? When Americans were fighting a dying in Vietnam, Rush took a deferment to go to college. When he flunked out of college he got classified as medically unfit to serve either from a knee injury or a boil on his ass depending where you find the information. Either way, when he could have served the country, he sure didn’t volunteer and actually used the system NOT to serve his country.

Rush Limbaugh, the pillar of family values ? Rush Limbaugh has no children and has been married and divorced 3 times. “Limbaugh was first married on September 24, 1977 to Roxy Maxine McNeely, a sales secretary at radio station WHB in Kansas City, Mo. They were married at the Centenary United Methodist Church in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. In March 1980, McNeely filed for divorce, citing “incompatibility.” They were formally divorced on July 10, 1980.In 1983, Limbaugh married Michelle Sixta, a college student and usherette at the Kansas City Royals Stadium Club. They were divorced in 1990, and she remarried the following year.On May 27, 1994, Limbaugh married Marta Fitzgerald, a 35-year-old aerobics instructor. They were separated on June 11, 2004. Limbaugh announced on the air, “Marta has consented to my request for a divorce, and we have mutually agreed to seek an amicable separation.” The divorce was finalized in December 2004.”

Rush Limbaugh on Law and Order ? Well Rush has had a couple of legal Problems due to illegal drug use.  “On October 3, 2003 the National Enquirer reported that Limbaugh was being investigated for illegally obtaining the prescription drugs qxycodone and hydrocodone. On April 28, 2006, Limbaugh and his attorney, Roy Black, went to the Palm Beach County Jail to surrender after a warrant was issued for his arrest on the charge of  doctor shopping. According to Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for the Sheriff, during his arrest, Limbaugh was booked, photographed, and fingerprinted, but not handcuffed. He was then released after about an hour on $3,000 bail. After his surrender, he filed a “not guilty” plea to the charge. Prosecutors agreed to drop the charge if Limbaugh paid $30,000 to defray the cost of the investigation. In June 2006, Limbaugh was detained by drug enforcement agents at Palm Beach Airport shortly after cutting the deal on the painkiller charges in April. Customs officials confiscated Viagra from Limbaugh’s luggage as he was returning from the Dominican Republic. The prescription was not in Limbaugh’s name. After he was released with no charges filed,”

Rush Limbaugh the political guru ? During the 2008 election, Rush Limbaugh urged his supporters to crossover, change political parties and vote for Hillary Clinton because Obama would be harder to beat in the general election. This only reenforced that its not about conservatism, its about manipulating the political system and cheating in Rush Limbaugh’s mind. Of course John McCain lost handily. As you know, President Obama prevailed and life goes on. Rush still has his show and the conservative movement is basically dead.  Could it be time for the conservatives to find a new leader ?
