New Immigration Reform Compromise Put Forth by Tax Group
Malibu, California (PRWEB) March 17, 2014
In an age when many critics of big government believe it is too big and unwieldy to accomplish anything useful, there is one man in Malibu, California on a lone quest to fill the void left by an intransient Congress. He believes that he has found a new solution to Immigration reform that has eluded congressional leaders.
Meet Mark Jason. Not many of his long-time neighbors in Malibu know about his plan to help solve the immigration crises. They also do not know about the Malibu think tank, Immigrant Tax Inquiry Group, Jason formed with experts and immigrants.
They intend to solve the immigration problem that has all but stymied the U.S. Congress, and their plan is simple and yet quite profound.
It involves the lost art of compromise.
Jasons group is proposing an immigration compromise to both parties. One they believe will pass on both sides of the aisle by reserving citizenship for later deliberation. They believe that we should legalize immigrants now and tax employers (who gain financially from immigrants lower wages) in order to pay for needed services. Furthermore, that we can do this all this without considering citizenship, which may be the most innovative part of their proposal.
This modest employer tax when added to a separate tax for 'cash-economy workers would yield over $100 billion. This would significantly offset the costs of immigrant services now paid by the taxpayers, such as, services such as health and education. I want to restore basic financial fairness and good sense to what has become our immigrant system, Mark emphasized, and to unite families separated by deportation. Mark went on to explain in detail why he has decoupled citizenship from legal status for immigrants. If immigrants provide useful services without burdening taxpayers, and if they were granted a new legal status and benefits, as our Model proposes, then people on both sides of the issue could decide the question of citizenship after that and with much cooler heads.
His is admittedly an unusual vision of what legislative compromise on immigration might look like, but it becomes far more understandable when you consider the two (seemingly divergent) influences on the genesis of his unique proposal.
I knew both Ronald Reagan and Caser Chavez and I think that both of these men influenced me in creating this vision. My IRS conservative nature (Mark was an IRS Official during his formal working years) was in harmony with Reagans philosophy of personal responsibility. Chavez is a role model in how to treat the farm hands on my ranch and I have a wonderful extended family in Mexico. This was the first time I thought about my dual sides, law and order on one side and compassion for our undocumented labor force on the other, Mark reflected quietly for a moment, I see a vision of how we could improve the lives of immigrants that would set an example for other developed nations around the world. In the area of Immigration Reform the United States has a chance to be a leader again.
This writer pressed Jason, Director of the Immigrant Tax Inquiry Group, as to why this is a good deal for the employers who do not pay any special taxes now on their illegal immigrant help. His answer was this, What I do not want to get lost in this plan is the relationship between employer and employee. In our plan, it is a relationship where one side of the employer/employee relationship is helping the other so that everyone benefits. It becomes a sponsorship so to speak. Pressed to reduce his proposal to one simple statement he replied, The overall concept is that if you are living and working here, taxes need to be paid. Taxpayers all over the country know exactly what Mark is talking about on that score.
