Approximately 30-40 percent of illegal aliens are aliens who entered the U.S. legally but overstayed their visas. To end this practice, we must add Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and finally implement a biometric entry-exit system at all ports of entry—a system already required by law.
Visa overstayers take advantage of their temporary invitation into the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security already has a mandate from Congress to install biometric entry-exit systems to prevent visa overstays. Unfortunately, a current House bill – H.R. 3141 – would once again delay implementation of the current law.
Don’t let them forget it. Take back immigration reform to prevent future abuse of immigration laws.

Click on my name and please sign and share my petition at Change dot org for NO REFORM for illegal immigrants.
As I Have said before you can thank Ted Kennedy for the start of this mess we are in. We need to go back to pre-1960’s law plus add a $10,000.00 fine to every business who hires a illegal immigrant, If you hire 5 people that’s $50,000.00 and that hurts. the money to be used only for deportation and border security that means all borders.
Eliminate anchor babies and chain immigration except for immediate family( Spouse and children under age of eighteen. Only allowing people to immigrate who have training skills and education that this country needs. at that time. Back to reporting where you reside every January, carry your immigration card at all times and present if required. That will solve future problem , But we still need to return the illegal immigrants to country of origin, and send the bill to their governments
sounds to me like the country doesn’t need “immigration reform”, read amnesty…. all we need is for the people in charge to allow and require enforcement of the laws already in place.
How many of These Overstay IAs
Still work at their old green card jobs, instead of real unemployed Americans?
And why did we bring them here to work with valid green cards in the first place with America’s stagnant total labor force and chronic unemployment, underemployment and giveups? Hades, the Seattle/Bellevue/Tacoma area’s total labor force spiked way down in the last half of 2013 [per BLS] and its been basically flat since the economic collapse [depression] of 2008….and open border pundits allege the American economy is improving [and allege the Seattle area is the best of America’s economy, i.e., Cramer]….LOL.
AS per the law if you have an expired green card you still can renew it………wha do you really mean? do yo uknow what you are talking about?…i wonder and wander/////…..
