PIB 9111-B (Bonn Temporary Amnesty Initiative)

Congressional Status - House

The BTAI proposal, along with a plea to begin work on a new bill focused on border, port and domestic security as well as the illegal form of immigration, was communicated to select members of the House on June 21, 2007 by the PUA. The state goal was to shift political tides away from the destructive "pro-amnesty" dialogue and onto discussions for resolving critical security issues.

We are happy to report that on June 25, 2007 representatives Brian Bilbray, Steve King, and Lamar Smith announced plans to co-sponsor a "security focused" bill to secure our borders and ports and Americans from the illegal form of immigration. Further details will be released when known. (posted July 7, 2007)

Congressional Status - Senate

These members of the Senate we also asked to support BTAI on June 21, 2007.

No response has been forthcoming. (posted July 7, 2007)

"Bonn Temporary Amnesty Initiative" (BTAI) Or "Bonn Repatriate Initiative"

Voluntary Removal Program

A Temporary Amnesty Program (TAP) for those persons in the US illegally shall be declared by Congress under the Operation Safe America Amnesty Program (OSAAP) as follows:

1. Congress shall declare that all those persons on US soil illegally and who cannot provide proof of eligibility to remain in the US in a timely fashion, shall then be deported without further delay, appeal, or hearing once verified to be on US soil illegally. [ The subject shall be deported and then have the right to file for appeals from their home country].
2. Congress shall declare that anyone on US soil illegally on a specified date (16 months from such declaration) shall then be deemed a Class 1 felony perpetrator of US soil trespass, subject to harsh fines, imprisonment and immediate deportation upon release from prison—permanently barred from return to the US soil and all forms of US residency, worker, visa, or citizenship programs.
3. Congress shall direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to set-up and affect Operation Safe America Amnesty Program (OSAAP) and to be fully operational within 4 months of enactment (allowing a full 12 month window of 100% operation for OSAAP.
4. Congress shall declare that any person who illegally enters onto US soil on a specified date, or after the expiration of the OSAAP/TAP program, shall be considered hostile to the United States and its citizens and is to be apprehended and charged with felony federal trespass and all other crimes associated with the alien perpetrator; for persons who arrive during OSAAP that are caught, the alien  may be given the option to have their felony trespass charges dropped by the federal authority provided they submit to voluntarily and immediate deportation within 72 hours of initial apprehension and processing; all persons deported under such circumstances shall be denied access to US soil for a period of 5 years; subsequent attempts to trespass shall void all previous plea bargain arrangements.
5. Congress shall declare that any person on US soil illegally prior to OSAAP/TAP shall not be entitled to apply for US citizenship or visa or work permit programs or enter onto US soil for any lawful purpose unless they voluntarily enter OSAAP/TAP.
6. Participants who enter TAP will have their criminal and immigration records cleaned of all immigration-related crimes only, thereby allowing them to apply in the future for US visas, work permits, Green Cards, legal immigration, or other lawful entry programs (provided they otherwise legally qualify).
7. Starting about 4 months after TAP has been enacted, on a specified date, OSAAP shall become fully operational and operate for a period of at least 12 months but not longer than 15 months (by formal extension only), ending on a specified date.
8. While OSAAP is operational, all illegal aliens must return to their country of origin within this timeframe in order to qualify for amnesty.
9. All persons on US soil illegally after expiration of OSAAP/TAP shall be subject to felony trespass of US soil, which shall carry a minimum 2 years of prison, $10,000 fine, and permanent revocation of US citizenship or residency eligibility, as well as immediate deportation after serving term; prisoners shall earn $60 per day work credit for any debts if they participate in work programs and $10 per day if the do not participate in work programs. Sentences are mandatory and no plea bargains allowed.
10. All illegal aliens who voluntarily enter OSAAP/TAP will be granted amnesty upon their officially recognized return to their country of origin (repatriated), provided they maintain the terms of their amnesty agreement—any violation, of which, will nullify the amnesty. Terms:
1. Alien shall not re-enter the US illegally.
2. Alien shall not commit a crime against Americans in the alien’s home country or any country in which the alien visits.
3. Alien shall not commit a crime in the US during the amnesty period.
4. Alien shall not apply for relief from the US government from the amnesty program or in an attempt to bypass such program.
5. Alien shall not aid in the smuggling of humans, drugs, or contraband within their own country or across the US border; alien shall not participate in any crime against the United States or its citizens.

7. Alien shall not take up arms or demonstrations against the US or become a member of a foreign military or foreign intelligence service.
8. Alien shall not make public demonstrations on US soil.
11. Amnesty shall be limited to crimes related to immigration and work related aspects (i.e. felonies such as: document fraud, identity theft, Social Security fraud, income tax evasion, payroll tax and benefits evasion ("working for cash"), driver’s license and identification fraud, employment document forgery, conspiracy to commit employment document forgery, trafficking of employment documents for less than 3 persons, second or multiple unauthorized re-entry to US, and more and so be designated by Congress.[1]
12. Amnesty shall not be granted to those who have already been processed and deported or who are in the process of being deported until the official start date of TAP/OSAAP has begun and before it has ended.
13. Amnesty shall not be granted under any circumstances after the expiration of the OSAAP unless Congress extends the period (not to exceed a total of 3 months in combined extension events of the initial 12 month period for a grand total period of 15 months); OSAPP may be shortened or scaled down if it is deemed that the program has abated over 90% of illegal aliens from US soil, provided such program shortening is well advertised to the public and particularly in the illegal alien sectors.
14. All other non-immigration related crimes of the illegal alien shall be subject to normal criminal prosecution and the individual shall not be granted amnesty.
15. A minimum $1,000 fine and voluntary deportation, outside of TAP, may be provided any illegal alien who illegally enters the US during the OSAAP/TAP program ( found illegally on US soil) in lieu of criminal prosecution, at the discretion of the presiding authority.
16. Amnesty can be revoked at any time up to four years by the federal authority, in writing (posted on the authority’s designated Web site), if the person violates the terms of the amnesty; appeals may be made to the authority through a five member independent review board and the determination of the board shall be final. There shall be no appeal process.
17. In order to receive amnesty, the illegal alien must freely list and admit all their crimes for which they are applying for amnesty; crimes not listed shall not be amnestied; all crimes must be qualified for being amnestied; felony or misdemeanor level crimes outside the scope of the amnesty may be prosecuted at the discretion of the presiding jurisdiction, and amnesty shall not be issued; however, admission of such a crime by the alien to OSAAP officials shall be protected under this program and the OSAAP shall not use such admissions as evidence of a crime for the purposes of prosecution (such disclosures cannot self-incriminate the individual and all such evidence is to be deemed inadmissible in any court proceedings unless applied in conjunction with an ongoing or subsequent criminal investigation, wherefore sufficient evidence independently collected may already exists or will exist; neither shall law enforcement be precluded from conducting independent investigation and verification of the crime in question through normal crime work or law enforcement procedures nor should such criminal admissions effect any ongoing investigations of suspects; those entering TAP shall be made aware of their rights before being formally admitted into TAP and must agree in writing in their original home-country language.
18. Amnesty terms shall expire after four years and those granted amnesty shall have their records cleared if they have not violated its terms.
19. Those found in the US illegally after the amnesty period has expired or who refuse to enter the amnesty program, or who are otherwise unqualified to enter the amnesty program, shall then be subject to a felony conviction for trespass into the Unites States without legal authority.
20. After the temporary amnesty period expires, any non US citizen who enters the US illegally shall automatically be: 1) considered an enemy combatant of the US until proven otherwise, 2) considered in violation of federal trespassing of an international border subject to class 1 felony conviction; all those caught will be deported (after having served their prison term, if convicted); no illegal alien shall be entitled to bail or release; all time served shall be applied to the sentence and therein credited. Fines levied may be paid or by adding additional days; prisoners may volunteer for work programs at the rate of $60 per day for each day’s labor served, provided that day is at voluntary labor under an approved program, and at the rate of $10 per day, provided the prisoner does not enter a voluntary labor program; all pay shall be credited to the prisoner’s account and used to pay fines or reduce jail time or both and shall not be paid in cash or other monetary instrument.

Illegal Alien Exceptions and Privileges Denied

21. No person, regardless of their past time in the US illegally or their respective family members involved, shall be afforded more rights or privileges than any other person who is in the US illegally; neither shall they be penalized more for having violated the law for a longer period. [Exceptions shall be limited to children without parents and elderly above the age of 65 who are living with a legal US resident or citizen family member.]
22. Persons who have entered legal immigration, and then failed to maintain their legal status, shall have the right to appeal their immigration status and remain in the US during this period, and once denied a renewal of status, shall be subject to the remaining terms of this act. They may be issued a “OSAAP/TAP Individual Time Waiver” pending review by the federal authority in the event of case backlogs.
23. All illegal aliens are to be deported in all cases. If the alien gives up children to allow them to remain in the US, the alien must sign a waiver agreeing to be permanently banned from returning to the US or applying for any US program or immigration status.
24. Illegal aliens who have US citizen children are permitted to renounce the citizenship of their children below the age of 18 years old and return to their home country, accompanied by their children; or, for hardship cases, they may elect to offer the children for legal adoption to US citizens or to place them in a foster care facility prior to the parent/s being deported—the choice rest with the parents alone (unless the parent is mentally incapacitated and adjudged legally so); the federal authority will institute programs and incentives to ensure adequate availability of both adoption surrogates and foster facilities under this program. Every effort should be made to reunite families in their home country.
25. US citizens or residents who have a senior citizen parent (age 65 or older) living with them may apply for an exemption and residency card for their illegal alien parent, provided they sign a waiver agreeing to be financially responsible for the parent (and that the state may attach family member assets in order to pay for any medical costs or other costs bore by the state on the parent’s behalf.
26. Illegal alien children without parents may be placed into adoption (or guardianship programs) and may be adopted by either foreign nationals or US citizens and shall live and be granted citizenship in the country of origin of their adopted parents (only if legally adopted). Proof of adoption must be presented.
27. During or after the OSAAP/TAP, any child of any illegal alien parent, whether determined to be a US citizen or not, shall be permanently barred from sponsoring any foreign person into the US for any lawful immigration, temporary work, green card, or related program if that child remains in the US, abandoned by one or more parents (as opposed to the parent’s renouncing the child’s citizenship and returning home with the child to their home country. (This is to ensure the parent has no incentive to abandon their child in the US in hopes of returning to obtain future US citizenship).
28. If one parent is a legal US citizen or in the process of legal immigration (having been previously approved by federal immigration authorities, and in good standing in the process, and having paid all fees and completed all paperwork and programs in a timely fashion, then the immediate family of child and other non-US citizen parent may apply for legal citizenship but must make an application and be accepted into the immigration program prior to the end of OSAAP/TAP (unless granted an extension). Only direct family members qualify (mothers, fathers, sons, daughters).
29. In the event of any case situation that is unclear, the default shall be deportation of all illegal aliens.
30. Any alien who has reached the age of 18 shall be considered an adult and any person below the age of 18 a child for the purposes of this act.
31. Any illegal alien found without a parent or legal custodian shall then be held in foster care until a parent or legal guardian can be found; the federal authority shall take steps to locate the child’s relatives in their home country and to return the child to a family member there before placing the child in a permanent US care facility or issuing adoption rights. The process of locating family members shall not exceed 7 months and the authority secure all necessary resources in order to meet this mandate, depending on caseload requirements.
32. All adult illegal aliens shall be considered independent and family relations shall not be a determining factor for any action or inaction under this program.
33. Single Exemption: any illegal alien family unit that can collectively prove a net worth of at least $100,000 and minimum average yearly combined income of $70,000 for a family of four  (add $10,000 per year per additional child), and who has filed both state and federal income taxes for the last four years, and who has not applied for relief or subsisted on any public assistance or accessed any social, health, or other taxpayer funded programs for a period of four years ( from the date of application), shall be granted the right to apply for exemption under this program and apply the entire family for US citizenship if that family has resided in the US for the entire 4 years and can provide adequate proof of residency for that time; residency shall be granted only to direct family members (mother, father, children) and at the discretion of the review panel.
34. OSAAP and other programs related to it shall, in total, not allow more than 250,000 exemptions.[2]

Rights and Waivers

34. After the OSAAP period of operation exhausts, all illegal aliens who failed to voluntarily enter OSAAP/TAP and who remain on US soil shall forfeit all personal or real property owned or kept or managed in the US.
35. All those persons not in the US legally shall be barred from owning real property.
36. All real or private property owned by illegal aliens shall be auctioned by the federal authority and all proceeds paid to the Victims of Illegal Alien Crime Fund.[3]
37. Those who agree to enter OSAAP/TAP voluntarily shall be allowed to sell their real or personal property and keep the proceeds, provided each property is listed in the application for amnesty.[4]
38. All those entering the OSAAP/TAP must agree in writing to their future rights and waivers thereof or they will not be duly registered or protected under this act.
39. These laws shall not apply to those persons who are in the US legally; however, these laws may be applied to “anchor babies” or US citizen children of illegal alien parents in so far as the law may allow in regards to adoption or foster care or ensuring the safety and care of the child.

Free Transportation

40. The federal authority shall create and maintain Operation Safe America "Freedom BusPass” program (FBP).
41. The FBP program will provide any and all illegal aliens with a one-time free bus pass good for use on any approved commercial carrier for transportation to the nearest federal immigration processing center so designated by the federal authority.
42. Said FBPs shall be made available free of charge at any convenience or food market throughout the US and be prominently displayed and include the details of both OSAAP/TAP/FBP programs, as well as provide window posters, radio advertisements (both in English and Spanish) before and during the program, as well as any other languages so deemed required by the federal authority in order to ensure it’s mission.
43. An FBP entitles the user to a one-way trip to the federal processing center (via a commercial carrier and hub drop-off point) and are only usable by those who are in the US illegally.
44. The commercial carrier has the right to refuse service to anyone but every effort should be made to ensure that all those who apply for transportation relief are granted it; only federal buses or authorized federal carriers may deliver OSAAP/TAP participants to the federal processing center (no personal drive-ins will be accepted); shuttle services from the nearest busing terminal or township to the federal processing center will be made available a minimum of twice daily (am/pm) seven days per week (on federal carriers only).
45. The federal government shall contract with common carriers who service the continental United States to take OSAAP/TAP participates to local busing hubs seven days per week.
46. At the commercial hubs, federal buses (or so authorized) shall accept OSAAP/TAP participants from the commercial carriers and transfer them ( minimum of twice daily) to federal processing centers (more if needed); each participant shall be transferred to the federal bus upon arrival at the public hub to await departure. Federal bus departure times shall be at 10am and 6pm daily and more added as needed to fill capacity of the federal processing center system flow. [5]

Arrival Procedures

47. Each OSAAP participant shall be medically examined prior to being released into the general population at the federal processing center. Military and other doctors trained in disease detection will provide all medical testing and examinations; anyone found to be contagious will be quarantined in a separate facility.
48. Those arriving shall be given showers and one set of clean clothing (bagging their own clothing so they may clean it later at the facility unless the clothing is deemed medically contaminated).
49. A hot meal shall be made available at the regularly scheduled times four times per day (7am, noon, 5pm, 9pm). For late arrivals, cold meals will be made available during off hours to tide arrivals over until regular meal schedules are accessed.

Free Food and Housing

50. Those who take the FBP or who otherwise end up in a federal processing center under OSAAP/TAP, shall be entitled to clean and sanitary temporary housing provided by the US Army Core of Engineers or other construction services, which may include tents, barracks, Quonset huts, or other temporary buildings and latrines.
51. Women and children shall be kept separated from the men; however, families may meet daily in the family area of the facility during daylight hours.
52. All housing shall ensure adequate protection from the weather elements, and adequate heating and air-conditioning if required to ensure health safety.
53. All participants will receive free food four times per day as provided by the US Navy; free soft drinks and other beverages as well as fruit and other healthy snacks shall be made available 24/7 as well as cold sandwiches and clean drinking water and ice.
54. Facilities for showering and washing clothing will be provided.
55. Haircutting services are to be provided.
56. A separate facility for a children’s play area and ground shall be established in the women and children’s facility area.
57. A separate and quarantined-ready area hospital shall be erected and maintained at each federal processing center with at least one doctor and nurse trained in contagious diseases on duty at all times; the facility shall be adequately stocked with mobile operation facilities as well as ample medical supplies; a stock of any medically needed supplies shall be within 2 hours delivery time if needed.
58. Adequate shade structures, chairs, tables, and closed circuit televisions with movies, board games, and children’s programming shall be provided along with an area for sports and recreation in an attempt to make everyone as comfortable as possible while being processed.
59. A temporary soccer and basketball facility may be set-up either inside or outside the compound for use by occupants.

Preventing Overflow or Mass Crowding

1. In the event the federal processing centers become overcrowded, they can regulate their inflows by use of an Internet and Phone Registration System operated by a single private contractor:
1. Anyone may access the system online at (i.e. www.amnesty.gov) or by toll free telephone (bi-lingual Spanish. English operators 24/7).
2. Each participant can apply for a priority number. That number will place their date of arrival to the nearest busing hub to their community, for subsequent transfer to the federal processing center on a pre-specified time and date.
3. If the person fails to arrive on the specified time and date, they will forfeit their priority number. (for more details on Priority numbers and their significance, see the Temporary Workers Program and Amnesty Rewards section below).
2. The DHS administrator shall take steps to ensure a well organized and regulated processing flow and the rates set forth by Congress or the DHS command but an average of  10,000 deportations per day should be the minimum flow rate per each federal processing center.

Infrastructure, Duties, and Responsibilities

60. Fencing and security apparatus shall also be provided by the US Army Corp. of Engineers. Only a ten foot chain link fence will surround the compound’s perimeter designed to keep animals and people out and children in. There will be no razor wire or signs of imprisonment, as this is a voluntary deportation facility with voluntary participants only (regular or violent criminal aliens are not to be housed in these facilities but rather in normal, secure, federal law enforcement processing centers).
61. The federal authority shall maintain a strong security presence at all times to ensure the safety of all persons under its control and supervision; a posting of security personnel shall be maintained 24 hours per day between the camps of women and children and that of the men; personnel will be armed with non-lethal defense weapons only; except for the executive security staff who shall remain side-armed at all times to provide for extenuating circumstances; all staff shall be adequately bilingual (Spanish and English).
62. OSAAP staff shall consist of the following: US Airforce (7.5%), Marines (7.5%), Navy (40%), and Army (7.5%) and National Guard (7.5%) will supply 70% of all required personnel.
63. The remaining personnel (30%) shall be provided by an equal contribution from all 50 states from their State Guard units (70%) and ICE (10%) and the DHS (20%).
64. The DHS shall provide all administration and processing for the program and shall be the acting federal authority in charge of the operation and all personnel (whatever steps are required to make this happen shall be outlined by the DHS administrator with the approval of the military and a Congressional oversight committee).
65. DHS will facilitate all needs from all participants as required.
66. The federal government shall pay for all cost of the program at the rate of 100% reimbursement to all agencies, states, and units, etc. who submit a bill, audited and pre-approved by the DHS for any and all expenses; said bills to be paid within 90 days of being submitted and approved.
67. A minimum of four processing centers will be created with low security designs and located in California, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia in remote areas (i.e. pastures or deserts) away from local cities and townships, yet as close as possible to major international ports and airports and busing hubs, on sites chosen by the US Army Corp. of Engineers and the Governor’s of those states; environmental impacts and all other federal  or state regulations for the land-use shall be waived during the OSAAP/TAP timeframe, however, the Corp. of Engineers will consult with an independent environmental group such as the Sierra Club to find an area that will provide the least amount of environmental impact for the camps.
68. No city, state, or federal authority shall hinder the placing of such a temporary federal processing center but may offer input as to needs and options; facilities may be placed on either state, federal or park lands or private lands as a last choice but no fee shall be paid for the use of the land, which shall be chosen at the sole discretion of the DHS; the OSAAP/TAP administrators and Army Corp. of Engineers will restore the land to its original state if so requested by any jurisdictional authority when the operation is complete and the camp removed (unless some improvements to the land might be kept as desirable by those in charge of the land prior to the OSAAP/TAP event).
69. All federal processing center facilities shall be in ready condition within 90 days of signing TAP into law and shall be removed within 90 days of the formal conclusion of OSAAP.
70. A site in each designated state shall be selected and approved within 15 working days of the enactment of TAP by the acting authorities so charged with this task.

TAP Entrance Requirements

71. All persons entering TAP must sign documents acknowledging that they entered the US illegally (or overstayed their visas illegally, etc.) and committed a series of crimes (the US Immigration and Naturalization Service as well as the FBI and the individual collectively may work together to facilitate this to the benefit of the illegal alien).
72. All persons signing said documents must agree that in exchange for amnesty, that they will not illegally return to or stay in the US (that if caught again in the US illegally, that amnesty will be revoked and is non-contestable, and their past crimes prosecutable); and that if allowed to return to the US for any reason, agree to not break any laws in the US during their stay or be subject to revocation from the program and/or revocation of the original underlying amnesty (if four years or less obtained).

TAP Reward – Citizenship Lottery

As the cost for rounding up each and every illegal alien without such a program might exceed $5,000 per person in law enforcement resources alone, and voluntary deportation should cost about 75% less per person, we feel it is prudent to pass on a portion of these savings to the volunteering aliens as further incentive for them to enter OSAAP/TAP and thereby ensure a higher program success rate as well as provide humanitarian assistance:

73. Families returning to their home countries will be in need of help over the next year to help them resettle so each person 18 years or older shall be provided with a one-time stipend of $1,000 and those below the age of 18 will receive $600; this money shall be issued in the form of an ATM Card (fee free) upon their official return to their home country soil; each individual will be able to draw out one equal portion per month over 12 months (as pre-arranged with the bank by the federal government). Cards will be issued to the parents of those below the age of 18.[6]
74. Each person who enters TAP shall be issued a processing number. This number shall be used as both an identifier and a lottery number.
75. ½ million US citizenships will be distributed by lottery to all OSAAP/TAP participants (18 years or older) who are eligible (about a 1 in 40 chance to win?). Those who do not participate in OSAAP/TAP are not eligible to participate or win. Other criteria may be applied to meet eligibility requirements, however, all ½ million citizenships must be distributed within the OSAAP/TAP group once the program has been concluded and all TAP participants are accounted for and given a chance to participate in the lottery.
76. The lottery shall be drawn 60 days after the conclusion of the OSAAP and results posted to a secure Internet Web site hosted for this specific purpose by the DHS. Instructions for accessing the Web site information will be given to each TAP applicant.
77. Again, to qualify for winning the citizenship lottery, the illegal alien must also be otherwise legally qualified as a citizenship candidate per the amnesty program’s stipulations as well as a TAP participant and per legal immigration rules and laws; those not qualified shall forfeit their win and a new winner shall be selected. Citizenship awards will be spread over a period of two years and deducted from the normal allotment of standard immigration approvals for that period.

TWPP Lottery [see PIB-9111-T)

78. Additionally, each day at each federal processing center, up to 10% of those processed that day will win a Temporary Workers Priority Pass (TWP Pass) that will allow them to apply for Temporary Worker status in priority of all other applicants for jobs made available in the US through any TWP, if ever provided.
79. The TWP Pass is issued in the person’s name with their respective processing number at the point they arrive on their home country soil.
80. Those who are lucky enough to win both US citizenship lottery and the TWP Pass lottery shall then forfeit one or the other; neither are transferable. Once forfeited, they are to be reissued according to a new, special lottery for such purposes.
81. Additionally, all participants who do not win either lottery are then eligible to use their processing number to receive priority status in any in-country programs set-up by the Foreign Trade and Entrepreneur Act (FREA) funded by federal government and designed to promote local jobs and entrepreneurial efforts in their home country (toward building sustainable economies) [see PIB-9111-F].

Outreach To Illegal Alien Community

82. Prior to and during TAP, an community outreach program must be created to inform illegal aliens of all programs and deadlines. The federal authority during the duration of the OSAAP/TAP will:
1. Send ample community relations workers to work camps, farms, job sites, and other places where illegal aliens are typically found.
2. Provide printed (dual Spanish/English) literature to all who request it.
3. Provide ample local and national radio and television public service messages in both Spanish and English.
4. Provide print notices in all minority language publications and standard US print publications.
5. Post public notices at all federal facilities, post offices, convenience stores, and grocery stores, including a supply of brochures in both English and Spanish.
6. Provide information posters for workplace posting by all employers.
7. Ensure international public service messages in Latin American countries describing key aspects of program to deter others from trying to enter the US.
8. Provide other outreach programs so designated by the TAP administrator.
9. Send ample community relations workers to work camps, farms, job sites, and other places where illegal aliens are typically found.
10. Provide printed (dual Spanish/English) literature to all who request it.
11. Provide ample local and national radio and television public service messages in both Spanish and English.
12. Provide print notices in all minority language publications and standard US print publications.
13. Post public notices at all federal facilities, post offices, convenience stores, and grocery stores, including a supply of brochures in both English and Spanish.
14. Provide information posters for workplace posting by all employers.
15. Ensure international public service messages in Latin American countries describing key aspects of program to deter others from trying to enter the US.
16. Provide other outreach programs so designated by the TAP administrator.
83. A foreign soil outreach program shall publicly declare new US policies and procedures regarding the security of US soil and the new criminality status of illegal aliens if found on US soil; the program shall be given the objective of educating potential illegal aliens in their home country so that they recognize that entering the US illegally is now to considered a criminal and military threat by the US government; to get them to understand that entering the US illegally is no longer tolerated or treated with indifference but with severity—that all trespassers to US soil shall be considered potential terrorists.

TAP Application Processing

84. The Field Review Panel shall establish whether the crimes listed in any case are amnesty qualified. In the case of questionable cases, amnesty qualified shall be the default choice selected by the panel.
85. For crimes that are not amnesty qualified, the Field Review Panel shall determine if enough evidence may exist to forward the case to the appropriate law enforcement case officer tasked with such review processes; the case officer shall then make a determination whether investigation and/or prosecution is a viable option or not or if there is an ongoing investigation already involved with the subject; if a determination is made that a case and trial would not be forthcoming in a timely manner or that insufficient independent evidence does not exists, then the crime shall be considered “non prosecutable” and the person either reinstalled into TAP or scheduled for non-TAP deportation accordingly (provided there are no other outstanding cases pending investigation—all of which must first be cleared.
86. The DHS has the sole discretion to deny any illegal alien from participation in any TAP program or lottery with or without cause.
87. Admission of any crime outside the scope of TAP’s amnesty, by the TAP participant while within TAP’s authority, of any crime shall not be used against the person in any event.
88. All TAP approved subjects will be fingerprinted, photographed, and logged into a central database. If desired by the DHS, any or all illegal aliens may also be terrorists background checked, as well as others aspects deemed fit by the DHS and field administrator.
89. Those suspected of terrorism or terrorism connections may be removed from OSAAP/TAP until a determination is made as to their disposition; no terrorists or person with terrorist ties shall be admitted fully to OSAAP/TAP or provided amnesty and shall be processed through traditional law enforcement procedures.

Repatriation

90. Once approved and cleared, the TAP participant is then given transportation back to their home town by the following:

1. Mexican citizens are taken by boat to the port of Veracruz and released. They are then given a bus voucher, which is good for redemption with a specified commercial bus line for a ticket to their home-town. The coupon is not transferable or redeemable for cash.
2. Other Than Mexican citizens are to be transported by the federal government to a major city within the alien’s home country by any means, including boat, ship, airplane, train, or bus or combination therefore, while under the protection and safety of the US federal government.
3. The government may arrange for bulk passage of like country people and await a suitable number of aliens to enter the program before beginning transporting.
4. In no case shall any alien remain in the federal processing center longer than 90 days once approved for departure.
5. Upon arrival in the major city in their home country, the TAP participant is then given a redeemable coupon so stamped with their designated hometown, which is good for redemption with an approved commercial bus line. The coupon is non transferable or not redeemable for cash.
6. At the discretion of the DHS, the most cost effective solution shall be determined for returning Other Than Mexican citizens to their home country. If large numbers from one country are apparent, the method of return may be by ship, and if small, by air travel, etc. or combination thereof. In all cases, the preferred method to getting aliens to their home town will be by bus, once having arrived in a major city within their own country’s borders.

91. Each subject, at the point of deportation arrival into their home country, shall get: 1) An Internet log-on password and instructions for checking all lottery results, 2) An ATM card from a commercial bank in their country with a savings account in the amount of $1,000 for adults or $600 for each child.
92. A maximum of 1/12th per month may be withdrawn from the ATM account (this will be pre-arranged with the commercial bank in advance). Participants are free to allow one or more months to accrue in order to draw out larger sums (equivalent to the months accrued) in order to receive larger payments, if so desired, or to accommodate traveling to the bank.[7]

Constitutionality and Lawfulness

93. Any provision of this bill which may be found unlawful or illegal shall be stricken or held unenforceable and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

Additional Aspects – Intents and Purposes (Additional Bill Making)

The sponsoring group should focus a formal bill using this a guideline with all aspects aimed toward domestic security. This legislation is designed for the purposes of national security and its focus should be on abating illegal immigration, ferreting out potential terrorists quickly, securing borders and ports, and ensuring enforcement of immigration and employment laws nationally to eradicate the criminal and terrorists aspects. The primary goal of this bill, in addition to the forward statements, is to abate the illegal immigration (invasion) aspects of the problem quickly, cost effectively, humanely, and within the support of both the rule-of-law and Constitution - all toward securing US soil as quickly as possible. 

A separate, smaller bill should be used to handle the creation of a centralized employment verification database and federal, state, and alien identification cards and systems using portions of other defunct bills that have already adequately addressed this particular issue and aspect from a law enforcement perspective.

The legal immigration process should be reviewed as a separate bill making effort that seeks to deal with the issues of immigration and national employment aspects alone (a very complex subject on their own worthy of much deeper investigation that S. 1348 or other previous bills combined). We do not purposely seek to address issues of "legal immigration" within this bill, only issues of illegal immigration and security.

Border Enforcement Intent

It is the intent of this initiative to make the border permanently secure from entry by terrorists or other criminals. Therefore, Congress should create a new set of laws dealing strictly with a new Border Red Zone, which shall extend 10 miles (unless in pursuit) from any US border on US soil.

In the Border Red Zone, any illegal alien caught after the amnesty period has exhausted shall be permanently denied rights to any civil redress under current laws (thereby forfeiting their rights by act of illegal trespass onto US soil). For the purposes of capture and apprehension or the use of force in the duties of a Border Patrol or other officer in the Border Red Zone, all illegal aliens shall be considered, for law enforcement purposes, terrorists, until proven otherwise through the capture, arrest, and investigation process, giving agents the right to use whatever force or resources needed to apprehend border trespassers.

Border Security Aspects

It is key to know that current ramp up of border fencing projects and Border Patrol personnel will take from 3- to 5 years, if fully funded. In the meant time, our borders remain vulnerable to al Qaeda and other terrorists. Therefore, we propose the following aspects be included in any border security plan:

1. Create the Border Sheriff's Stopgap Fund ($10 billion annually) to allow all border area Sherriff's department to ramp up personnel so that the borders can be effectively patrolled and secured within 90 days of enactment (Sheriff's department has already attested this could easily be done).
2. Give Sherriff's the full power and authority needed to enforce border and immigration related laws for a period no longer that 5 years.
3. The Sheriff's shall patrol areas in sufficient force as to ensure 99% border integrity. The Border Patrol shall work in areas other than those of the Border Sherriff's (as arranged by mutual agreement with the DHS presiding). Each agency shall have an overlap of 1 mile into the area of the other to ensure that full coverage is maintained while reducing any friction elements between the two agencies. (In the event of field disputes, the agents first on the scene shall have complete authority). 
4. Release National Guard to work under the direct control and supervision of the border area Sheriff's departments and issue guard units in the numbers requested by the Sheriff's departments required to fulfill its temporary mission.
5. Give the National Guard the legal authority to aggressively pursue, capture, and arrest US soil trespassers under the control and supervision of the Sheriff. (Note: by placing the guard under the Sheriff's control, they effectively become a citizen's army, relieving tension between Border Patrol's upper level supervisors and bureaucrats that see the National Guard as an intrusion on their authority and domain, not to mention international aspects).
6. Ensure that all currently planned border fences are funded and completed within 2 years.
7. Ensure that the entire border is fenced and secured (where fencing is possible) within three years.
8. Ensure that all areas without fencing be installed with triple redundancy detection systems to detect illegal trespass onto US soil (i.e. ground sensors, aerial robots, visual towers with night vision detection scanners, human patrols, etc.).
9. Ensure that all border fences are maintained with security sensors and visually monitored 24/7.
10. Ensure that all Border Patrol agents are given a 20% pay and benefit raise across the board in order to ensure that the Border Patrol maintains quality personnel and significantly lowers its attrition rates.
11. Ensure that the Border Patrol is given all the necessary tools, equipment, upgrades, and training, and all aspects required to ensure a successful mission to protect the border with 100% integrity within a 5 year ramp-up period.
12. Maintain a Congressional oversight committee to ensure ongoing execution and success of the plan.

International Public Awareness Campaigns

It is the intent of this initiative that the US federal government provide $10 billion to cover the cost of advertising public service messages in countries around the world from which stream illegal aliens to the US (in the past) in an effort to ensure that potential future aliens are made aware of the new conditions and key enforcement procedures being put into place along the US borders. The purpose is to educate potential aliens so that they 1) will not attempt to enter the US illegally, 2) will understand that lethal force may be applied to them if they attempt to illegally trespass onto US soil as part of the US’s new policy on domestic terrorism security.

Domestic and Port Security

It is critical that all aspects of port and domestic security are addressed. As many bills have previously outlined these areas well, we will defer to those past efforts, provided the are endorsed by law enforcement at all levels - the people most familiarly with our security needs in these areas.

Employment Verification and Enforcement Systems

Included in this aspect are the tools required for foreign worker and US citizen ID systems, employment verification, and workplace enforcement. As this represents a complicated issue worthy of strong investigation and debate, we recommend that this issue be conducted separately under the concurrent bill. The intent and focus of such a bill would be to ensure that all who enter US soil are issued tamper proof IDs, as well as all US citizens (via their respective states). A US citizenship and voting authorization card should be made available free of charge to the public irrespective of other ID arrangements. Employment verification systems should include either state or federal databases that allow for perspective employees to be quickly and verified and authorized to work in the US by providing a security tracking number (either denoting citizenship or date of entry into the US by the foreigner, among other things) as well as a photo match system. Employers who use the system and then are found to have hired illegal aliens will then be exempt from prosecution.

Employment enforcement laws do not work if they are simple fines. To be effective, the employers Human Resource Department Manger and all those i the company with knowledge, including the CEO must be subject to prison time, in addition to stiff mandatory fines. Most importantly, fulltime, spot-check

Overriding Statement of Intent

This initiative is based on the position that Americans, the Constitution, and the rule-of-law comes first and foremost over all others and their needs or concerns. 

It makes no sense from a security standpoint that we scrupulously check airline passengers who fly domestically when we fail to check foreigners who come across our borders in the dead of night, carrying with them any manner of things that may be combined to create a massive terrorist device of destruction against the American citizenry. Illegal immigration and open borders aids this major security breach while airline security only heightens our sense of the unseen threat that will soon be upon us in more visible ways. Illegal immigration fosters the black markets that aid terrorists to enter and remain on US soil. If we clean these black markets up, by de facto, we clean away much of the terrorist threat to our nation.

It is both unconscionable, derelict, and incompetent that our US leadership has left us open and exposed to terrorist for so many years since 9/11. Today, our open borders and the illegal immigration process aid greatly any would-be-terrorist in a world where state sponsored terrorism is expanding and now maintains a steady bulls-eye on America and its children's future. We are under great threat yet we act as though all things are status quo - normal - as we go about our daily affairs. Once day, reality will set in when the local movie theater with our children vaporizes and al Qaeda proudly claims responsibility. Until then, we might sit as complacent fools, or we might take action.

We are in a war. We had better start acting like it or our enemy is going to take advantage of that fact and show us just how clever and cunning they are - and their success or failure will have depended on how we, in this time, too steps to minimize, or aid, their progress and efforts. 

The Bonn Temporary Amnesty Initiative is more about ensuring national security and securing tax payers from unmanageable cost impacts (as well as Constitutional requirements) than it is about anything else. We gain security and Constitutional compliance by removing those here illegally - people who knew they were breaking our laws and did not give it a second thought. We do not seek to punish them, nor do we seek to reward them. All we ask is that they return home so that we can enhance our security in critical ways that only this program ensures, and does so in a humane way.

Citizenship is a privilege and must be respected, not stolen from the American people by simply overstaying a visa or compromising our borders, or fraudulently preparing documents, or working illegally, or hijacking society's social, medical, welfare, educational and other resources, or by other means. Americans do not respect those who do not respect them or their country and certainly do not want to offer citizenship to such people. This initiative is special in that it gives illegal aliens the unique opportunity to redeem themselves through voluntary participation, as well as offers them incentive and opportunity for eligibility in future US programs rather than being punished with prison, as would be any US citizen who had commit the same crimes.

Americans will continue to provide many forms of legal immigration and will always welcome the legal immigrant, however, today we must all make a stand against those who would violate our borders, violate our laws, and violate our security and treasure. Humanity and civilization both require the upholding of our laws and preservation of our country if we are to survive. We must all embrace this simple reality, even if it comes at the expense of those whose country's have forsaken them. For without first a safe and secure America and its citizenry, there is no spreading of American humanity and goodwill to other nations of the world and their people - for who can give anything when all that they had was taken away by the very foreigner they tried to help - a foreigner without allegiance to this great country? America and Americans must come first, then all others may be served. The Bonn Temporary Amnesty Initiative seeks to do just that and much more. Please support it by signing the petition now.

Notable Mention

In his book State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America (Thomas Dunne Books, August 2006), Pat Buchanan  states (page 245):

The crisis of the West is of a collapsing culture and vanishing peoples, as a Third World that grows by 100 million people -- the equivalent of a new Mexico -- every eighteen months mounts the greatest invasion in the history of the world. If we do not shake off our paralysis, the West comes to an end.
