Heres the deal. Newt. You close the borders. You put a heavy civil and criminal penalty on companies that hire illegals.
You get rid of the social give aways for illegals, including anchor babies.
Then you tell the ones who elect to try and stay after all of that...because doing those things will cause a majority of them to self deport...that they have 90 days to turn themselves in, to identify themselves. if they do so, we will deport them and allow them to apply for visas or citizenship through the normal legal channels (unless they are found to be criminals or enemies).
After the 90 days, they will be crinimally sought out, found, prosecuted and deported with a lifetime ban on any vissa or immigration to this country in the future.
Then, we use our full law enforcement powers to go after the criminal drug dealers and other hardened criminals whom we show no mercy to.
Once we do all of that, then we can look at adding a potential workers program to our legal visa and immigration policy that allows them to come here for jobs that are offered to American citizens first, which if they get are limited to a maximum of 12 or 24 months without bringing their families and with no amnetsy or pathway to citizenship...though with the work visas we already have, there may not be a need fo it.
Thats not heartless, thats just defending the soveriegnty of our Republic.
AMEN!
Since we're approaching the dawn of 2012, it saddens me that, here in Dallas (and doubtlessly elsewhere), the first baby born of the New Year (as announced annually by the newspaper) is invariably a Mexican, probably one of those anchor babies of an illegal.
Back in 2009, it was a baby from a 15-year old eighth grader (Fernanda Rios), born out of wedlock. That's been the norm here for more years than I care to remember.
Exactly. I hate how these panderers try to frame it as a choice between amnesty or rounding up illegals and mass deporting.
I was gravitating toward Newt and he lost me tonight. Hope Palin doesn’t endorse him.
You just figured out the solution to the “illegal immigrant problem.” I’m not kidding. But will it be implemented? Of course not.
You're mixing up Newt and Perry.
It was Perry who said you were heartless, Newt said you were not humane.
LOL not really
Excellent post. States that enacted tough illegal alien laws did not spend any money deporting them. The illegals left the states on their own two feet. If our Federal laws mirrored the tough state laws the same thing would happen. Most illegals would depart on their own two feet. The nonsense about it taking a line of busses from the Texas/Mexico border clear back to Alaska to deport illegals was and is just that—nonsense.
Jeff, you nailed it. Why can’t Mr. Border state, have a heart Perry and Mr. family values, smartest man in the room Gingrich get this? The only conclusion is the lure of hispandering for votes is too strong a force to consider the obvious.
