Imigração: As 10 propostas de Newt Gingrich
Ten Simple, Direct Steps to a Legal American Immigration System:
1. Keep the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli commitment and control the border. (...)
2. Announce an immediate shift of Internal Revenue Service resources to audit companies that are deliberately hiring people illegally. We do not have to focus on deporting those who want to work. We need to focus on the Americans who are getting richer by deliberately breaking our laws, hiring people illegally and failing to pay taxes. (...)
3. Outsource to American Express, Visa or MasterCard the job of building a real-time verification system so that honest companies can confirm the legal status of all workers and identify people with forged papers before they hire them as fast as your automatic teller machine identifies you and gives you money in a matter of seconds. (...)
4. Focus deportation efforts on criminals. Those who claim that opponents of the Bush-Kennedy-McCain bill support mass deportations are simply wrong. We want a system in which honest work is available for law-abiding workers and in which the natural attrition of declining job availability will reduce illegal behavior. However, there is one group that should be deported immediately, and the law should be modified to make it easy to do so. Criminals have no future in America. (...)
5. Cut off all federal aid to any city, county or state that refuses to investigate if a criminal is here illegally. These so-called "sanctuary cities" are in effect abetting the violation of American law and increasing the risk to honest, law-abiding Americans. They should be cut off from all federal aid if they refuse to help enforce federal law.
6. Offer intensive education in English to anyone who wants to learn English, and make English the official language of government. This will begin to reassert the commitment to assimilation and Americanization that has historically been part of legal immigration to America.
7. Ensure that becoming an American citizen requires passing a test on American history in English and giving up the right to vote in any other country.
8. Within the context of these proven changes, establish an economically driven temporary worker program like the Krieble Foundation proposals. Any temporary worker would have to pass a background check to ensure they are not a criminal, would have to give biometric information (retinal scan and thumbprint) for a special card that would be outsourced to American Express, MasterCard or Visa so it would be harder to defraud and counterfeit, and would have to sign a contract committing them to pay taxes and obey the law or be removed from the United States within two weeks without recourse to long court processes.
9. Create a special open-ended worker visa for high value workers who bring specialized education, entrepreneurial talent or capital that will grow the American economy and make America a more prosperous country.
10. Workers who came here illegally but have a good work relationship and community ties (including family), should have first opportunity to get the new temporary worker visas, but instead of paying penalties, they should be required to go home and get the visa at home. (...)

Falácias, falácias, falácias....
Boa parte das 10 propostas estão previstas no CIRA, o "within the context of these proven changes" é um absoluto delírio, porque, e isto é o ponto essencial, não é possível fazer um controlo efectivo das fronteiras e da imigração ilegal sem criar mecanismos que a desincentivem - e para isso é necessário um guest-workers program adaptado às necessidades económicas, bem como soluções para reagrupamentos familiares. Ou então, é fazer uma fronteira à coreana.
Isto é pura falácia: "Focus deportation efforts on criminals. Those who claim that opponents of the Bush-Kennedy-McCain bill support mass deportations are simply wrong". O CIRA reforça precisamente a possibilidade de deportar ilegais criminosos. O CIRA só permite o acesso à legalização aos imigrantes que estão há mais de 5 anos nos EUA, com contrato de trabalho, sem registo criminal, depois de pagarem pesadas multas. São também estes que o Gingrich quer mandar para casa e que então depois se candidatem ao visto. Ou seja, são todos, os 12 milhões. Se isto não é uma deportação em massa, o que é uma deportação em massa? A não ser que, afinal, se queira manter o status quo, com milhões de pessoas indocumentadas a ocuparem uma parcela cada vez mais importante na vida laboral e social norte-americana.
E, com a lei actual, deveriam ser todos deportados. O que se defende é a existência de uma lei, mas recusando-se as consequências da sua aplicação. Em suma, leis duras com práticas moles, uma prática perigosíssima - vide Tocqueville no "Do Antigo Regime à Revolução".
"não é possível fazer um controlo efectivo das fronteiras e da imigração ilegal sem criar mecanismos que a desincentivem - e para isso é necessário um guest-workers program adaptado às necessidades económicas, bem como soluções para reagrupamentos familiares."
100% de acordo. Mas quer dizer, o Gingrich não excluir isso.
"E, com a lei actual, deveriam ser todos deportados. O que se defende é a existência de uma lei, mas recusando-se as consequências da sua aplicação."
Nem mais.
"Nem mais."
Pois, mas isso é não apenas perigosíssimo como foi o que levou ao status quo com que ninguém está de acordo.
"Mas quer dizer, o Gingrich não excluir isso."
Quer, quer. "8. Within the context of these proven changes". Nunca vão existir as proven changes exigidas com a actual legislação, mesmo legislando no sentido que ele defende - apenas se perpetuará o status quo.
Mas o que mais me irrita na questão da imigração são coisas destas: http://schotline.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/gingrich-on-immigration-by-a-citizen/
Quase todos os líderes republicanos mudaram de posição sobre o assunto.
