Immigration Reform
Tougher immigration legislation is in the works. Unfortunately it isn’t the U.S.; it’s France that’s addressing illegal immigration. The BBC reports that France has announced new measures to address the issue. Some highlights:
Visas with biometric data;
Tougher deportation regulations;
Increased border controls;
Improved constraints on illegal workers;
Tighter regulations on marriages by French nationals;
And the creation of an immigration police force.
All this and the French only have between 200 and 400 thousand illegals. The French also admitted that their previous amnesty efforts, in 1981 and 1997, where failures and resulted in further illegal immigration. Washington on the other hand remains asleep at the wheel.

Maybe we should share this one with McCain and Reid AND George W. The French get the picture and we still don't. Amazing.

If anyone needs reason for stricter immigration laws into the United States of America, two words:
Cop killer.
The Denver Police Department lost a good officer this past week because of a Mexican National who may have been in the U.S. illegally, and now, tens of thousands of dollars are being spent in Denver and Los Angeles looking for him.

How shameful that France has to lead the way on reforming immigration laws. I can't believe we are so behind on this.
