Specific Purpose:
To question the policy of ‘blanket’ amnesty for illegal immigration in to the United States of America.
Thesis Statement:
The “blanket” amnesty policy for illegal immigration of 1986, the proposed legislative bill of 2007, and the public opinion of the American citizens prove that rewarding criminals is not the answer in order to solve the problem for illegal immigration.
Introduction:
I. Attention grabber- CNN video of a senator reportedly saying that a bill for amnesty of illegal immigration was a piece of shit.
II. Introduction of the word amnesty. Definition provided by Webster Dictionary.
III. NumbersUSA, reported an estimated 11.6 million illegal immigrants are residing in the United States of America. (creditability)
a. The top 5 states for illegal immigration is California 3.2 million, Texas 1.6 million, New York 1.3 million, Illinois .83 million, and New Jersey .62 million.
b. Illegal immigration is becoming an exponentially increasing problem each day.
c. As Americans citizen it is our right, duty, and privilege to honor and obey our laws we set fourth for each other. (call to action)
d. The “blanket” amnesty policy for illegal immigration of 1986, the proposed legislative bill of 2007, and the public opinion of the American citizens prove that rewarding criminals is not the answer in order to solve the problem for illegal immigration. (thesis – questioning policy)
IV. Where do we draw the line and say, “Enough is enough?” (call to action)
Body:
I. Main point – Immigration and Reform Control act of 1986
a. The United States has granted amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants through different amnesty and laws.
a. Before the first amnesty in 1986, amnesty was only given on a case by cases basis. Amnesty was never given to a large group of individuals.
II. The first (and supposedly one-time only) amnesty in 1986 gave about 2.8 million illegal immigrates the opportunity to change their status through the Immigration and Reform Control Act (IRCA).
a. Amnesties go farther than inducing people to come to the United States illegally, they allow those individuals who are already in the United States (in contravention of the law) to escape any penalties.
b. Worst of all, amnesties allow these individuals to stay in the United States. Eventually, these individuals will be allowed to sponsor their immediate and distant relatives, thereby making America's overpopulation problem even worse.
III. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) was enacted by Congress in response to the large and rapidly growing illegal alien population in the United States.
a. The final bill was the result of a dramatic compromise between those who wanted to reduce illegal immigration into the United States and those who wanted to "wipe the slate clean" for those illegals already living here by granting them legal residence. As enacted, IRCA included a massive amnesty program for two main categories of illegal aliens:
i. those who could show that they had resided illegally in the United States continuously since at least January 1, 1982
ii. those who had worked as agricultural workers for at least 90 days between May 1, 1985 and May 1, 1986.
b. As a "balance" to this huge amnesty, IRCA also included several provisions designed to: strengthen the enforcement of immigration laws (including sanctions for employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens); increase border controls; and create a program to verify the immigration status of aliens applying for certain welfare benefits.
i. The IRCA amnesty has been tied to terrorism. Mahmud Abouhalima, a leader of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, was legalized as a seasonal agricultural worker as part of the 1986 IRCA amnesty.
ii. This allowed him to travel abroad, including several trips to Afghanistan, where he received terrorist training.
iii. In addition, another 350,000 illegal aliens who were initially disqualified from the 1986 IRCA amnesty because they had traveled abroad while in the U.S. illegally may qualify for amnesty under proposed settlements in lawsuits resulting after the 1986 amnesty.
iv. The 10-year impact of both the SAW and general amnesty in the Immigration Reform and Control Act was 2,684,892.
