 <title>The Carver County</title>
 <link>http://www.chanvillager.com/community/forums/back-and-forth/local-party-politics#comment-859</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The Carver County Republicans are talking about adding the following propositions to their platform, in hopes that they can be added to the state GOP platform.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;S. Reducing foreign aid given to countries whose citizens are here illegally and are incarcerated in U.S. prisons to cover the expense of their&lt;br /&gt;
incarceration&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;T. A resolution in the Minnesota Legislature that less war in the world is more pro-life and more family-safe&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;U. Rescinding free-trade agreements, as they export jobs and the prosperity they provide&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;V. Completion of the construction of the 700 mile Southern Border Fence required by the Secure Fence Act, constructing more miles if needed, and&lt;br /&gt;
keeping the National Guard on the border until it is secured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;W. Deterrence of illegal entry by expanding the already successful Zero Tolerance Prosecution Policy (Operation Streamline) from three to all 20&lt;br /&gt;
border sectors, and statutory mandatory minimums for the crimes of illegal&lt;br /&gt;
entry, reentry, and reentry after deportation for any felony.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;X. Completion of the 10 year Past Due Exit portion of the USVISIT (Visitor and immigrant status indicator technology) system and eliminating&lt;br /&gt;
other weaknesses in the system so that future visa overstays can be identified.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Y. Ending of the jobs magnet by requiring all employers to use the electronic verification system to check the legal status of all employees,&lt;br /&gt;
and reducing fraud by decreasing the number of documents employers must accept to prove legal status and offer cooperating employers a safe harbor&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Z. Requiring a biometric ( fingerprint encoded) identification card for all aliens authorized to work in the United States&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AA. Increasing security for legal workers by requiring Social Security earnings statements to list all employers reporting wages under an&lt;br /&gt;
individual’s Social Security number so that fraudulent use of that number can be spotted, and continuing to use no-match notices as evidence that employers knew they were importing an illegal alien under a Social Security number issued to someone else&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AB. Formation of effective enforcement integration partnerships with state and local law enforcement by clarifying their authority to enforce federal&lt;br /&gt;
immigration laws, deputizing state and local officers in every state (through the 287 (g) Program), offering a basic training course for all state and local officers, and by compensating state and local entities for immigration enforcement related expenses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AC. Immediate evaluation of the 27% of prisoners that are non-citizens so that illegal alien criminals can be processed and deported at the end of their&lt;br /&gt;
sentences, and implementation of a mandatory federal response to state and local law enforcement when they apprehend an illegal alien&lt;/p&gt;
