Hypothetically, let’s say the borders are secure. There is a fence and drones and technology and people in uniforms ensuring that no one is getting into the country illegally. The only people immigrating here are coming in through the front door.
Now what?
We still have ten to twenty million illegal immigrants in the country. Some studies have the number as high as forty million. What is going to be done with them?

If they have no jobs and no welfare they will go home.
Considering the fact that two illegals have killed 5 children in two states in the past week, the illegals seem to be more than balancing the population out.
Crack down on employment and benefits. Let them self-deport.
Also, do away with the “anchor baby” law.
Deny the illegal aliens welfare and social services and if they still hang around then deport them.
1) A proportional number will self-deport according to how many we forcefully deport.
2) If they were anchor babies, I don’t think that makes them illegal (thus their being born here as anchor babies).
3) If we stop hiring illegals, they’ll stop working here.
4) Other than that, just let free speech take it’s course and make it uncomfortable for illegals to be here. Stop with the PC crap trying to say it’s about racism. They are here illegally and have not pledged fealty to the Union (nor any of the individual States comprising such)- thus they have no rights. The Constitution is a contract. One that both parties must abide by to make it binding.
Cut off their jobs, their welfare, their healthcare, and their other freebees and some will leave. Any illegals left, start deporting them. Word will spread and more will leave. Keep deporting the rest. I honestly don’t care how long it will take and I don’t want to hear it can’t be done since it has not been tried.
Yesterday in Democrap debate they both pretty much said that they would ASK the people living near the borders what they want to do.
If they want fence, then they get fence. If they want “technology” (didn’t say what it was) to guard the better then they get technology.
If they want more Border Patrol Agents, they get that.
Just tell us what you want and you get it.
I say we nuke the place. It’s the only way to be sure.
I could not agree more...are we that stupid as to not get rid of the born here citizen thing? Its crazy and must end and I think it should be retroactive.
After we secure the border, the most important thing is to strictly enforce laws prohibiting the employment of illegal aliens.
In the case of those who were born in the US, and who have lived in this country as Americans for years, and who are not personally guilty of an illegal entry, I’d approach it on a case-by-case basis.
In the case of those recently arrived, I would instantly send them back to their country of origin.
Any political refugees, I’d permit entry, to include S.Mexico Native Americans.
The difficult group will be those here for some time, no record, gainfully employed, and minding their own business — I’d issue work permits with no chance ever to achieve citizenship. The easy group will be any with any kind of record — immediate deportation.
The answer lies in enacting & enforcing new criminal laws that whack employers of undocumented workers and whack ‘em hard. It should include probation & a stiff fines for the 1st offense and increasingly longer mandatory jail times + stiffer fines for 2nd & subsequent offenses. The guy hiring a 15-man roofing crew of illegals could face some serious hard time & bankruptcy. Why won’t this happen? Because too many Senators & Representatives would have to give up their Mexican housekeepers, Guatemalan nannies, and Peruvian gardeners or face arrest, themselves. They ain’t gonna do it. But if they did, most illegals would grudgingly & certainly return to their countries of origin in a big hurry. The hard core among them - the ones making big money in drugs & illegal activity are a whole different ball of wax. They will have to be ferreted out like an infestation of rats - pursued, prosecuted, jailed, and deported. That will cost money, which should come from both the fines on illegal employers & by making these rats WORK while doing their jail time. If we MUST accept some sort of “guest worker” program (as some like Bush have proposed) then there should also be a substantial fee-for-hire imposed on the employer to help cover some of the costs attendant to these foreign workers & their families residing here - i.e. school for the kids, emergency medical care, etc. “Anchor Babies” are right out of the equation too & such a thing wouldn’t even exist were it not for “judicial legislation” that brought it about. The only way to erase it now is new legislation to eradicate it. Long overdue IMHO.
Two cents please....
I could not have put it better than what you did! You are correct.
