WE DEMAND 287g FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA

Target:
The VOTERS,TAX PAYERS AND CITIZENS OF FLORIDA
The citizens of the state of Florida demand Govenor Christ to enforce the
287g program thoughout the state.
With the current federal administration turning their backs on the American people, the state of Florida must take the "illegal" immigration issue into it's own hands.
The signatures on this petition are the direct result of concerned VOTERS, TAX PAYERS and CITIZENS of the state of Florida.

The 287g guidelines are as follows:Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) was made law in 1996 as a result of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). Section 287(g) authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to enter into agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies, permitting designated officers to perform immigration law enforcement functions, pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), provided that the local law enforcement officers receive appropriate training and function under the supervision of sworn U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Under 287(g), ICE provides state and local law enforcement with the training and subsequent authorization to identify, process, and when appropriate, detain immigration offenders they encounter during their regular, daily law-enforcement activity.

I am a citizen of the US and a resident of North Carolina. I tried a silent protest by NOT paying state or federal taxes for a number of years to see what would happen. I had people around me as employees of my company and fellow employees of companies I worked for file 7-9 dependents on the W-4's or filed EXEMPT, have green cards and illegal social security numbers and HAVE NOT paid ANY taxes yet get food stamps and free medical care. What did it get me??? State of NC has collected $11,500 on an original tax liability of $7500.00 and the still want $7,000 more!! My IRS debt has been more than doubled to over $60,000!! I have NO WAY of getting my life back yet I see non-english speaking illegal aliens living better than I am!

When I turn on the TV an hear the talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News allowing the advocates of illegal immigration to make unchallenged lies and distortations as though they’re facts, that begs the question. With all the research resources at their finger tips, why do they let this miss-information stand as though it’s solid facts? Every TV producer has at his or her disposal the un adulterated facts of illegal immigration! So, why do they allow miss-information to stand as facts? These networks have become the facilitators, the vehicle used to peddle these lies, distortions of facts, and the truth. And they are part of the problem! And frankly I’m fed up with this foolishness. I just cringe in my seat when I hear these unchallenged lies and distortations stated as facts by advocates of illegal immigration. If you listen closely to them you’ll hear their lies and distortations used as their positions on illegal immigration. They make claims that insinuate what’s wrong is right, and what’s right is wrong. They state rhetoric for research, and they state their opinions for facts. But when you examine the facts you’ll see that they’ve built a case for illegal immigration on distortations of the truth, misrepresentation of facts, and out right demanding RIGHTS that are not afforded to an ILLEGAL CLASS OF PEOPLE! Who STOLE their way in the back door instead of knocking at our front door like the 1.4 Million newly sworn in LEGAL AMERICANS because they came through our immigration process the right way. WELCOME TO AMERICA! AND THANKS FOR ACTING LIKE AMERICANS! WE DO THINGS RIGHT!

Immigrants need to go back to their own countries to work, most of our factories have moved there, so GET LOST, LEAVE THE US NOW! I want my kids to have jobs in the future, the Americans worked very hard to get what we have now.

Take back the U.S. and STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION so we can have our jobs back, a decent economy, Good Healthcare and so much more. Anyway, all people should respect and obey the laws of the United States just like it's citizens as they want their own country's respected and obeyed! Illegal Immigrants have babies in the U.S. just to get legal here, so legalizing any baby because their parents want to be legal is wrong. Don't legalize anyone who comes to the United States via an illegal alien or because they had a baby in the U.S.. It's a very sneaky and unethical way to get legalized. If an immigrant has a good reason to come here and be legal, they will follow ALL procedures to do the paperwork and prove they deserve residence here!~~~~~~~RESPECTFULLY AND SINCERELY, MS.

if you're against illegal immigration. then get upset with your ancestors for exploring the world. not one race is origianlly from where it currently is... if you recall the continents were all joined together, not to mention after they broke apart some areas were still linked. there is not a single person who originated from the americas. your cause is a lost one and pointless one. I would actually prefer to live in a country other than the u.s . much less worries in life and of course the perk of being culturally knowledged.

The laws are there - they need to be enforced. Enough of this coddling and political correctness regarding people who have come into this country illegally. They are breaking OUR LAWS and need to be deported.

As an American, I am disgusted w/the government allowing or should I say encouraging these people to come into our country ILLEGALLY. I am appalled at the fact that our government is "taking care" of the ILLEGALS medically & financially. We (AMERICAN CITIZENS)are second class citizens to these people who do NOT even belong here. I do not have a problem w/an immigrant coming here LEGALLY & supporting themselves. Why does our government feel obligated to protect these people? IT'S TIME TO FIGHT!!!!!!

Govenor Christ, It's time for them to go home. With the US now hosting over 10% of all mexicans this is more like an invasion than guest workers. We need you to enforce the law.
