I propose that we reform immigration and start a guest worker system that will provide immigrants an opportunity to fast track their immigration status through a system that will track their contributions to society.

This system will include an e-verification system that business owners will be required to fund to get the workers to the desired location. The workers will scan their government provided ID card at the border, then again within 24 hrs at their place of employment. They will have taxes taken from their checks by their employer, thus contributing to society. Once a threshold is met, such as $10,000 in taxes paid, they will be provided a fast track to a green card and an opportunity to immediately become a Citizen. This will give us the most motivated people and give the hard chargers that truly want and need to be here the gift that they need. It will be a hand up, not a hand out.

When I was 17 the US Military and the great people of the United States gave me an opportunity to prove my commitment to this Country and be provided employment and an opportunity to succeed. I took that opportunity and ran with it. I became a member of the Military and I excelled. I worked hard and I achieved my goals through hard work and a hand up, their were no hand outs provided to me and I do not believe we should be provided that to anyone without a chance to show us why they want to be a Citizen.
