Let's be Part of the Solution not the source of the Problem I will keep this short without a long explanation on each point. So short and to the point. I did read the Constitution of the US. You will see that the Federal Government has Supremacy over the States went it comes to Federal Law and responsibly for Immigration So ICE is going anywhere unless the Fed say so. So the solution to me is Citizenship. But the present policies/regulations need to be improved. So I am asking the City Council to instruct the City Manger to write a letter to the two US Representatives and US Senators in support to revamp our Federal Immigration policies and path to US Citizenship. The changes I would recommend would be as follows; 1) Path to Citizenship for anyone who has been in the county for 10 years+and proven to be a citizen by commenting no crimes, prove they have payed taxes and or benefited the community. 2) Anyone who does service or have service in the US Military receives Citizenship a pond an honorable discharge from the Service 3) With all methods available the vending of an Individual should be reduced to months not years as presently. 4) Review the present yearly quotes allowed for new citizens per County by reviewed. I am sure they need to be increased for some and decrease for others. These increases could be a period of time then returned to present numbers. This could be one of the reason for the long delays example is the U-Visa program. The yearly limit is 10,000 people per year. There is presently an eight year back log. So as of today 80,000 people that have qualified for a visa but have to wait. 5) Anyone who has applied for Citizenship is exempt from deportation until case is resolved. Again that resolution should be in months not years.
