There are a large number of problems with the immigration reform bill going before the Senate this week. Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson have decided to sell their constituents down the river in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens. Since our current elected officials have decided they are incapable of fixing the problem, I have created a proposal that should secure the borders and usher in a new era of immigration reform.

Dear Representatives, Senators, and Mr. President

I am writing to you to voice my opposition to the current immigration bill and any others that follow the same philosophy. I am an Asian-American son of a Vietnam War Vet. I understand the gift of the freedoms Americans enjoy and I understand the reason many want to come to our great nation. I am greatly concerned that amnesty will be given to illegal aliens.

I have friends who have married Europeans and they live in constant fear that INS is going to break up their family because paperwork is constantly being lost or simply because INS refuses to investigate illegal aliens.

Metro Atlanta Sheriffs and Police Chiefs have made many statements on AM 750 WSB that INS does not support their efforts to clean up the streets. Local law enforcement cannot enforce federal law which leaves gaps in some areas and duplication in others.

First, we need to secure the border. Some have stated that building a wall is not the proper approach to securing the border. I would like to cite the Great Wall of China. It is a marvel of Asian ingenuity and engineering. I believe it is time for America to build a Great Wall for the 21^st Century to protect our border in much the same manner that the Great Wall of China has protected them from invaders. Securing the borders is essential.

Our immigration system is broken and we need to fix it in a way that puts Americans and those who want to become American first. My proposal to securing the borders and immigration reform involves the following:

• Dissolve INS/ICE and issue severance packages to all employees. They, as an agency, have demonstrated they cannot enforce immigration and instead resort to harassing legal immigrants and their American spouses. Incompetence is not tolerated in the private sector and should not be tolerated in the public sector.
• Dissolve the DEA. This represents an annual savings of $4 Billion. The War on Terror and the War on Drugs are not compatible since the terrorists receive funding from the black market for illegal drugs.
• Allocate $2 Billion from the DEA breakup to the 50 states. The states shall choose whether to legalize drugs and spend the funds on treatment and education; or maintain their various controlled substances acts and spend the funds on enforcement and police expansion. Either way new jobs would be created in social services or state/local law enforcement.
• Assign all the former DEA agents to border protection. Allocate $2 Billion to first build a fence and then fund the new agency.
• Dissolve the IRS and implement the Fair Tax. This represents a savings of the requested $11.6 Billion 2008 operating budget request, cited by the US General Accountability Office.
• Assign all former IRS agents to border protection, Social Security Fraud, and Identity Theft Enforcement
• Eliminate all guest worker programs, including H1B visa programs for college educated technology workers. If there is a worker shortage it should be permanently corrected, not band-aided. This becomes more relevant as baby boomers retire and further create a worker shortage.
• Expand the number of green card candidates. Both agriculture and IT/Science industries cannot meet the demand for labor. We should be inviting more people here to become American and be assimilated into our culture rather than sending them back home every year. This eliminates the need to track guest workers since all workers will be permanent.

I have outlined approximately $15 Billion in allocations that can be made to enhance border security. I believe these proposed changes will enhance our security and assist America with the expansion of our economy and our culture.
