POSITION OF THE C.S.A. ON IMMIGRATION

DRAFT III of May 12, 2006

Foreigners are welcome to enter the Confederate States of America legally as guests  utilizing  various types of Visas or Work Permits.  Foreigners found in the C.S.A. without papers  shall be considered INVADERS and, if from a nation at war with the C.S.A.. , may be held as suspected spies or Prisoners of War under the Geneva Convention or shall otherwise be subject to arrest, fines or incarceration and deportation.

All Visas except Work Permits shall be issued by the Secretary of State of the C.S.A.   The States may issue Work Permit Visas in and for their own States in accordance with the general plan of and acceptance by the C.S.A. Governors Council.   The States and Counties shall utilize standard forms to avoid intrastate confusion.  The States and Counties shall be required to furnish information on arrests  and fines against immigration violators  and of their  respective incarceration  both of the illegal immigrants and of violating employers to the Secretary of State, C.S.A. Office of Immigration  (CSAOI).

In order to properly secure all international ports and borders, a centralized function with standardized  rules should be established by the C.S.A. Governors Council to be enforced equally.

The Governors of each State shall appoint and furnish such CSAOI  Officers from their State Guard units to work in their own States under the direction of the C.S.A. Office of Immigration (CSAOI) enforcing the immigration  laws at the international borders in conjunction with the County Sheriff  involved.   The C.S.A. Governors Council shall have controlling oversight of the C.S.A. Office of Immigration (CSAOI) of the Secretary of State and shall approve or deny immigration policy in general.  CSAOI Officers shall be paid through their respective State Guard units but shall serve under the C.S.A. Office of Immigration of the Secretary of State.

Should  a person or persons possessing Visas be deemed repugnant to a State or County, the State Department of Labor or the County Sheriff  shall have the right to declare the person “Persona  non grata” and refuse entry to their  State or County.  When such refusal action is taken, a  declaration shall be made to the C.S.A. Office of Immigration by the refusing State or County explaining the reasons for the refusal, (except for State issued Work Permit Visas) and the C.S.A. Office of Immigration  shall  amend the visa in question to reflect this restriction on travel to the refusing State or County.

Work Permit Visas shall be issued by the each State’s Department of Labor and should such refusal of entry to that State or County occur, a declaration shall be recorded and kept by that State’s Department of Labor with a copy being sent to the C.S.A. Office of Immigration for a national record of problematic or denied aliens who might later attempt to obtain other types of Visas which are issued by the C.S.A. Office of Immigration or other States to whom such alien might apply for a Work Permit Visa in their State.

Foreigners (illegal aliens) found inside the States of the C.S.A. without papers shall be guilty of felony invasion and shall be arrested and held in work camps for six (6) months on the first offense and then they shall be deported.  Their wives and children shall be deported as soon as possible after apprehension.   In the case of a single female alien without papers, she shall be held for 6 months in a work camp prior to her deportation.

On a second offense of invasion without papers or with forged or false papers, the offender shall be held in a labor camp for 5 years prior to deportation and a wife and children may be held 30 days prior to deportation.  A third offense for a wife and children shall result in a 5 year incarceration for her in a labor camp and loss of her children who will be deported to their home country and into the custody of that country’s immigration authorities.

Those having papers, such as a Visa or Work Permit which have  expired, but which are otherwise legitimate, shall be fined and deported as soon as possible and may be denied visas in the future due to the abuse of privilege.

Types of Visas and Permits

Tourist Visas

Student Visas

            Missionary Visas

Investor Visas

Military Visas

Work Permit Visas

Authorized Immigrant Visas

Resident Alien Visas

            Official Envoy Visas

TOURIST  VISAS

Legitimate visitors (tourists) with Visas (Tourist Visa) may enter into the Confederate States of America and should be entitled to the same protections from crimes committed against them as are resident citizens.  Generally, all legal foreign  visitors may expect reasonable and basic protections due any law abiding person, only so long as they keep in mind that they are guests, and are thereby expected to act  with respect toward our Christian customs,  practices and laws.  Since a guest in any place is expected to be respectful of their hosts, so shall it be to visitors from foreign  lands. They MAY NOT expect ANY of the rights, or privileges of citizenship, except for emergency medical care if needed.; Such  guests shall not have the right to become involved in our domestic civil politics, engage in mass protest or demonstrations nor the right to vote or hold any office of government.

Involvement in mass protests against the government or otherwise displaying disrespect for the government shall violate their Tourist Visa status.  Visa holders will have the right to leave the country at will, but the privilege to re-enter the country may be restricted or require a new Visa.

Tourist Visa persons will be restricted by time constraints of their visa such as 30 days, 90 days or 120 days and may, for good cause, be renewed for additional time.  They may not bring in nor possess firearms while guests in the country.    They may speak to groups or organizations if invited while here so long as due respect for the Confederate States and their laws is shown.  Known enemies of the Confederate States shall rightfully be denied visas or be expelled if already holding a visa. 

STUDENT VISAS

Foreign Students may be issued Student Visas for prescribed college courses or specialty trade school courses by semesters, renewable with passing grades.  Their rights shall be essentially limited otherwise just as Tourist Visas and may not take student  jobs for pay on campus nor become involved in political protests.

MISSIONARY VISAS

Reciprocity on missionaries coming into the C.S.A. to convert our people to their religion should be allowed to nations who likewise allow C.S.A. based missionaries into their country to preach the gospel of their religious beliefs to the people in such foreign lands.  However,  we must be free to deny religious missionary visas to those who preach  Christian Communism, Islamic Terrorism, Satanism  or Atheism nor thinly veiled attacks upon our political or civil affairs under the guise of religion.

INVESTOR VISAS

Investor Visas may allow select areas of limited  work directly related to the purchase of materials and goods or investments into industries or businesses.  Domestically earned Income generated  while in the country to a visitor on an Investor Visa shall be taxed but shall not be entitled to retirement programs for citizens.  Gun permits shall not be extended to holders of such visas even if they are dealing in funds, but they may hire Bonded C.S.A. Citizen guards who may carry firearms for the security of such foreign investor.

MILITARY VISAS

Military Visas  may be issued to qualifying applicants either at the border or within the C.S.A. if such applicant is already legally here on a visa or as an immigrant.  Honorable Military Service for 5 years shall entitle an alien for Authorized Immigrant status.   An Authorized Immigrant who serves 5 years of Honorable Military Service shall be entitled to Citizenship in the C.S.A. by virtue of the State of service or of permanent residence.

WORK PERMIT VISAS

Work Permit aliens would be allowed to work within the State of issue of the Work Permit, but may have other restrictions levied upon them by the contract of the Work Permit such as limiting the time of their visit and restricting them against voting, holding office, becoming involved in protests against the government, possessing firearms or committing crime while here.  Work Permit aliens shall be taxed on their income, but shall not be entitled to retirement programs for citizens and may be restricted in the use of community services such as free medical, free schools and citizenship for children born in the C.S.A. while here on Work permit unless one of the parents is a Citizen of the C.S.A.  Work Permit aliens shall not have the Constitutional rights of citizens, such as the right keep and bear arms, but only the privileges listed in the Work Permit contract.  Work Permit aliens may not join unions or form organizations or companies while in the C.S.A. and, Work Permit aliens may be paid in accordance with the terms of their work permit contract between them and their employer.  Work Permit aliens shall not have regular access to the courts except as defendants where the case may require.  The local Sheriff shall be obligated to protect such Work Permit aliens against criminal abuse by others, citizens or not.

Work permit aliens and, of course, Authorized Immigrants may make investments while present in the country.  Automotive vehicles being brought into the C.S.A. or those purchased in the C.S.A. must pass inspection and must have proof of liability insurance.  If later found not to be insured, such vehicle shall be confiscated and held until insurance is arranged and the fines are paid.

Employers within the C.S.A. shall not hire undocumented  workers.   Persons may not work if they only hold a Tourist Visa, a Student Visa or a Missionary Visa  and must hold a valid and current State Work Permit to be hired within the State of issue.  When the Work Permit expires, such worker must be terminated unless a renewed Work Permit is obtained.  Employers found hiring (harboring violators) shall themselves be arrested and fined  $1,000.00 for each  illegal  alien (undocumented with current Work Permit) found working for such  employer.  After three such separate incidents and fines have occurred, the fines shall escalate to $5,000.00 per illegal employee.  The hiring of Authorized Immigrants and Resident Aliens is completely legal as long as their Immigrant status remains authorized.  The Department of State shall notify such employer of any termination of Immigrant or Resident Alien  status  prior to taking any action  against the employer, thus encouraging such employment of Authorized Immigrants, Resident Aliens  or ordinary Citizens of the C.S.A. and their children.

AUTHORIZED IMMIGRANT VISAS

Authorized Immigrants should be entitled to most of the civil rights enjoyed by Citizens except not the right to vote,  hold office nor to become involved in protests against the government or industries therein.  Involvement in mass protests against the government or otherwise displaying disrespect for the government shall violate their Immigrant status.  Immigrants will have the right to leave the country at will, but the privilege to re-enter the country may be restricted unless a travel permit is issued in advance of their trip which must not be for more than 90 days absence from the Country per trip. 

Authorized Immigrants shall have full rights to work without a work permit and to retirement programs offered to citizens, but shall be taxed on their income.  Authorized Immigrants shall have the right to keep and bear arms.  They shall, however, have the right of access to our courts and to go to court to petition the Government for a redress of grievances and shall enjoy the other rights and protections of the Constitution of the C.S.A. and of the State of their residence.

RESIDENT ALIEN VISAS

Persons residing in a State of the Confederacy who are citizens of the United States and not of the Confederate States of America and who do not desire C.S.A. Citizenship shall be allowed to remain and own property so long as they were not activists in opposition to the Liberation of the C.S.A. nation.  They shall not vote nor hold office nor become involved in politics or mass demonstrations against the Government.  Violation of these restrictions are grounds for their deportment.  They shall, however, pay income tax and other taxes such as property and sales tax to the State in which the reside and may possess firearms.  They shall be entitled to retirement benefits and shall have the right to work without a work permit and shall have most other public benefits available to them and shall have access to the courts for civil purposes.

OFFICIAL ENVOY VISAS

The Secretary of State of the national Government of the Confederate States of America shall determine who shall receive Official Envoy Visas from various foreign nations.  Such Envoys shall be restricted in Rights and Privileges as are Tourist and Investment Visa persons, except the time of the stay will be flexible as required and they may travel outside the C.S.A. and return at will.

ENFORCEMENT

Enforcement at the border should be applied by both the C.S.A. Office of Immigration’s CSAOI Officers and the County Sheriff, being authorized by State legislation in agreement with the General Plan of the  C.S.A. Governors Council.  The State should stand ready to augment the County Sheriff with manpower and funding, if necessary, per the request of such Sheriff.   The Sheriff, of course, may deputize additional men in their posse as required by the situation, and if additional funds are needed, may solicit donations from the public.

Internal enforcement should be handled by the County Sheriffs.   County Commissioners may and should pass ordinances of enforcement for their own Counties, particularly in regards to fines against employers hiring illegals.   County Sheriffs should be encouraged to work with neighboring County Sheriffs for enforcement purposes and with CSAOI  Officers at the international borders.

A Grace period for illegals to voluntarily leave the C.S.A. of 60 days after these laws are passed and signed and publicized shall apply.  The Sheriffs in every State of the Confederacy are asked to see to the dissemination of these laws widely among the Hispanic community and in the various major work places utilizing illegal alien  labor.  The Sheriffs of the land and other law enforcement authorities should prepare for and plan raids to occur and for labor camps to be constructed for the implementation arrests of the violators remaining after the grace period expires.  It is expected that a mass migration back into Mexico (and other countries) will occur voluntarily by these illegals so they can apply properly for Work Permits with the help of former or future employers.

Invading Armed Foreigners in military uniform crossing the border into the C.S.A. may  be shot as enemy invaders and shall be otherwise repelled or captured and held as prisoners of war.  Their weapons and vehicles shall be confiscated.  Continued invasion of such  military  personnel may result in military strikes against the base of origin of the invaders within the territory of the country from which the invasion occurred.  The sovereignty of the territory of the C.S.A. will be defended.

NOTE: After Liberation, Citizens of the C.S.A. shall not be taxed on their income, shall enjoy all public benefits available, and shall be entitled to participate in retirement programs for Citizens and may leave the country and return at will and shall enjoy full Constitutional Rights including the Right to keep, bear and wear arms.

Many of the decisions and opinions or positions that are developed are valuable guidelines for us to plan, but enforcement or implementation of many of the ideas and propositions must wait upon the establishment of a more complete re-staffing of the national as well as 7 or more State Confederate Governments and, of course, the actual Liberation of our Nation.

Sometimes we find, such as in the present immigration invasion by Mexico, that we must stand with some of the unionists who still believe in and support the Federal Union and who may still hope to reform the monster because our interests coincide.  In the case at point, the territory that the Mexican radicals are seeking to conquer is Confederate Territory which we intend to Liberate along with the rest of the Southern States with the Confederate States of America.  We can and must be allies with such union federalists, in part at least, in protecting the common territory including Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Colorado and Wyoming.
