[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 879917, member: 12952"] [URL]http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20110918-OPINION-109180315[/URL] [B]'HALT' illegal immigration[/B] U.S. Congressman Frank Guinta represents New Hampshire's First District. Between seven and 20 million people currently live and work in the United States illegally.They don't pay local, state or federal taxes, yet they place an additional burden on government services and severely strain limited revenue sources. Because they came here illegally, there was no chance to check them for a criminal background. Their children attend public schools, adding to classroom size and diverting scarce education dollars. These problems keep mounting as people keep coming here illegally. But illegal immigration is something entirely different. The U.S. is a nation of laws. Illegal immigrants choose not to play by the rules, and then expect to receive all the privileges given to those who followed the law and now live here legally. That's just not right. Let me repeat what I have said many times before: I do not favor, and I will never support, any attempt to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. I recently joined more than 50 of my colleagues in signing a letter to President Obama, protesting his action. I am also a member of the Immigration Reform Caucus in Congress. But my involvement doesn't end there. I'm adding my name as a co-sponsor to H.R. 2497, the HALT (Hinder the Administration's Legalization Temptation) Act. The HALT Act would prevent U.S. Customs and Immigration Services and Immigration and Customs Enforcement from granting parole for illegals who commit crimes; issuing work authorizations; extending voluntary departures; giving illegals TPS (temporary protection status); executing deferred actions (authorizing illegals to work in the U.S); and reverses the administration's recent executive order authorizing the cancellation of the removal of illegal aliens from our country. To put it in everyday language, the HALT Act would do just that: It would halt the Obama administration's efforts to get around the law and would require the USCIS and ICE to continue doing their jobs. As an American citizen, you have the right to expect nothing less. [/QUOTE]
