  1. Goals

    by gwolfe from Railroad Sector Coordinating Counsel (RSCC) on August 10, 2009 at 09:51AM

    Eliminate confusion between the various government agencies involved in enforcing immigration laws. This confusion is due in part to the lack of communication between the various agencies.

            Family unity should be the cornerstone of our immigration policies, and family-based visas should be increased, allowed to rollover to the next fiscal year, and the backlog should be reduced. The ...

          • A home and some respect for the homeless

            by longshot9999 from FastBreed Technologies, Inc. on August 06, 2009 at 08:07PM

            Maybe we should create villages for the homeless along the border and pay them to keep an eye out for illegal aliens. This would give them a free place to stay, centralized points for charities to...
