 * Title-** Fence for Freedom Act of 2011
 * Sponsors-**


 * Purpose-** The purpose of the Fence for Freedom Act is to decrease the flow of illegal immigrants to the United States and punish those who knowingly hire an illegal immigrant. There are currently about 11,000,000 illegal immigrants in the United States. They take American jobs and money from Americans. Illegal immigrants must also be stopped because some of them will cause property damages and some have also been known to grow marijuana and other illegal drugs in national parks, which decreases the natural beauty of the United States. They then gain money because they wreck the natural beauty of our great country. The flow of illegal immigrants needs to be decreased so that they will stop wrecking the natural beauty of the United States and taking American jobs and money. The employers of those illegal immigrants need to be punished for the safety of our citizens and for the economy of the United States.


 * Eligibility-** This bill is for all legal citizens of the United States. This keeps United States citizens safer and gives them more job stability, since less illegal immigrants will be hired.

-The illegal immigrant must first have proof of being in the United States for five years. -The illegal immigrant must surrender to the police, not be caught or turned in to the police. -The illegal immigrant must pay $25,000 to the state that they surrendered themselves to and an additional $25,000 to federal government. -The illegal immigrant must not have broken any laws in the United States additional to entering our borders illegally.
 * Terms and Benefits-**
 * 1.** The funds for this bill will come from National Defense funding.
 * 2.** Install a fence along the entire Mexican border that goes 10 feet under the ground and 10 feet above the ground. This will provide a barrier between the United States and Mexico, and it will keep illegal immigrants from digging under the fence. Additionally, there will be razor wire covering the fence so that no one can climb over it. Cameras will also be installed every 5 miles across the Mexican border. There will be entrances for immigrants to come into the country legally.
 * 3.** Additionally, 2000 workers will be hired to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other needed items will be purchased for the guards. i.e. guns, kevlar, ammunition. From there, ICE would do as needed with those workers.
 * 4.** Businesses will have to use the e-verify system to confirm people's citizenship. Employers of illegal immigrants found guilty of knowingly hiring illegal immigrants will be fined $250,000 for every illegal immigrant hired. They will also serve five years in prison and may no longer hold any paying positions with that company, nor receive funds directly from that company. The only exception is investing in the stock market, in which they may not buy into enough stock to own the company.
 * 5.** Illegal immigrants may receive a green card and go to the "back of the line" for United States citizenship if they meet the following criteria:

If an illegal immigrant cannot meet one or more of the criteria, they will be deported back to their home country and they will be recorded as criminals. If they attempt to enter the United States illegally at any point after being deported and are caught, or attempt to surrender themselves to get a green card as listed above, they will not be eligible to receive a green card and go to the "back of the line" for citizenship, even if they meet all of the criteria listed above. They will then be deported back to their home country. below ground so illegal immigrants can't dig under or easily jump over || people from jumping the fence || border fence || more workers to ICE || $54,862,000 per year || The salary per year for ICE workers || P229R pistol || $1,600,000 || Cost of 2000 guns for ICE || the 2000 new ICE workers ||
