We have been espousing a program to deal with those immigrants in our country without first gaining the proper authorization.  But, the ‘devil is in the details’ on how this temporary registration program would work. And, this program should only deal with those illegal immigrants currently in the United States at the time this 'Identification and Nationality Verification Program' (IANVP) is declared via Presidential Executive Order, or even better, passed by Congress.   The President does have the authority to issue an Executive Order to do this if Congress won't act. After the 'Implementation date', Any 'new' immigrants would have to follow current law. We propose this 'Identification and Nationality Verification Program' (IANVP) will be implemented as follows:

Anyone in our country from another country, including so called 'DACA' qualifiers, MUST have a Passport document issued by their own country with a proper US approved visa document. Once an immigrant has the Passport, but if the immigrant hasn't gone through the U.S. immigration system legally to get the proper US approved visa document, they will have one hundred and eighty (180) days after passage of this IANVP to go to any United States courthouse and register as being in this country without the properly approved and issued U.S. immigration documents.  The registration will include name, address, how long they have been in the U.S., whether they are married, have children, have a job, current address, etc.  This registration is necessary so the U.S. government can accurately assess the numbers of immigrants in the country without proper approval, what employment they have, if any, and be better able to create effective long term comprehensive programs to deal with the revising the entire United States immigration process and programs issue. We understand that the current so called 'DACA qualifiers' have gone through much of this registration and evaluation. So, maybe, once they meet all of the IANVP requirements, they could be the first group reviewed at the end of the 180 day registration period. I.E. go to 'the head of the line'.

After the one hundred and eighty (180) day registration period, NO services will be provided to non-US citizens without that ‘registration’ stamp in their Passport or final US government issued registration document with photo and finger print ID.  For those without the registration document that means: NO school for their children, NO treatment at hospitals, NO U.S. government aid or services of any kind.  NO state issued drivers licenses.  NO employment! For any of these types of services or opportunities, the immigrant must show their Passport and the stamp in the passport or registration document verifying that they have registered.  This should effectively seal the border for anyone trying to get into the US after the registration period ends.  This registration would be effective for two (2) years.  If an immigrant is discovered that is not registered, including so called 'DACA' qualifiers, that person will be imprisoned until a $5,000 fine is paid, then they will be deported to their home country.

Any immigrant who entered the United States without proper per-approval may eventually be issued a Resident Status "Green Card" but may never become a naturalized Citizen of the United States. 

Any immigrant in our country without proper authorization who has committed and been convicted of a felony will not be allowed to register and will be deported immediately after being identified in any way. This person will not be allowed reentry through legal means for 5 years

Within two years after the registration, the registered immigrant would be able to petition for either residency or work visa status to address and reduce the number of illegal immigrants in the US.  The immigrant’s petition would be handled as follows:

Any illegal immigrant (read as someone here in the US without proper US government issued visa/work permit, including so called 'DACA' qualifiers), will go though an interview process that will include:

• That immigrant has no criminal history, other than possible routine traffic citations;
• Proof they have resided in, and paid FICA and income taxes to the United States for any work they have performed in the United States;
• Can demonstrate that they have basic skills to read and write English;
• Can demonstrate that they have the basic skills to speak and understand spoken English;
• Report if they have ever received Federal government aid and do they currently need and receive Federal or State government aid;
• Explain what benefit that they provide to the United States and United States citizens if they are allowed to stay in the United States.

If they can successfully meet those basic requirements, then a determination will be made what, if anything, will be required to be granted a visa to remain in the country. Something like the following might be suggested if they have been here:

• >20 years, they must register go through the process above and pay a $5,000 fine upon process approval and they will then immediately get a ‘resident status’ visa.

• >15 years, they must register go through the process above and pay a $12,000 fine upon process approval and they will then immediately get a ‘resident status’ visa..

• >10 years, they must register go through the process above and pay a $20,000 fine upon process approval and they will then immediately get a ‘resident status’ visa.

• >5 years, they must register go through the process above and pay a $25,000 fine upon process approval and they will then immediately get a ‘resident status’ visa..

• < 5 years, they must register go through the process above and pay a $5,000 fine and return to their home country, and apply for a ‘worker visa’ or other legal immigration status tool and not reenter the US until they have a valid immigration document allowing entry

At the end of the two (2) years temporary registration period, any immigrant not able to meet the above requirements, and unfortunately many will not have the records to show they have paid income taxes, FICA, etc., must pay a $5,000 fine and leave the country within 90 days, or they will be deported and put on a 'watch list'.

• Any illegal immigrant who does not register with the INS within 180 days of IANVP going into effect will pay the $5,000 fine and must leave the country before the end of the 180 day registration period or risk forceable deportation.  Again, they will be provided NO services.

• Any illegal immigrant registered under this program who is convicted of a felony will be deported and not allowed reentry through legal means for 5 years

• No new born child will be granted US citizenship, if they would so choose, unless one of the child's parents is a US citizen and the other is legally registered as an immigrant (not just a temporary worker visa) through the IANVP process, otherwise they will be citizens of one of their parent's home country

• Any State offering any ‘official’ identification card or drivers license to any immigrant who is not legally registered, or provide education to children of unregistered immigrant, will lose all of their share of US Government funding 

• A temporary annual ‘worker visa’ program will allow workers will be developed with two (2) of the passage if the IANVP to apply by September 30 of any year for a valid ‘worker visa’ for the following year, which would begin January 1 of the following year. To apply, the worker must:

• Present a valid passport issued by their home country

• Register through the guest ‘worker visa’ program

• Sign a certified pledge not to harm or plot or assist in the harming of the US, under penalty of life imprisonment

• Notify the INS of their home (place of residence) in the US and US contact information by January 1 of the approval year via the IANVP SYSTEM

• Not have been convicted of a felony in the US within the past 5 years

• Notify again within 30 days of any change in that contact information, under penalty of immediate deportation if information is missing or found to be incorrect.

• Children born to immigrants with such ‘worker visa’, will not be granted US citizenship

• There is no guarantee that such a ‘worker visa’ will be issued to everyone applying.  The number of visas issued, and to who, will be based on the number of visa’s requested by employers and the background check results of the applicant once the final guest work program is developed

• The  American Protection Barrier will be completed either as a physical structure and/or an electronic shield on the entire United States boundaries between the US and Canada and between the US and Mexico paid for by the illegal immigrant penalties proposed above.

• Anyone found hiring an immigrant not having the proper authorization to work in the US will be fined $75,000/worker per instance

• Anyone found having forged registration documentation will be fined $100,000 and will spend one (1) year in federal prison.  After the one (1) year in prison and after paying the fine, they will be deported to their home country.  If they cannot pay the fine, they will be held for a maximum of five (5) years, then deported to their home country.
