No you got it right the first time. They will be departing this country.
And that is what will be more effective than any wall. No employment, no welfare, no anchor babies = no illegals.
But if we start deporting people who are here illegally, they might start getting the idea that we are mean people and are tired of supporting them and don’t want them here! /hand wringing
I tend to believe there would be a lot less traipsing around the country playing “Find The Illegal” if we enacted a few federal laws that would incentivize the illegals to make their own hasty exit. Something along the lines of:
1. An online employment verification system that gives the employer a court defensible receipt the worker was verified.
2. Without the verification receipt above, imprisonment and fine for any site manager and Company owner/CEO caught employing illegal labor.
3. A federal ban on any public benefit, welfare or subsidy funded by taxpayers that goes to illegals.
4. Any illegal that seeks medical attention will only receive treatment for life threatening conditions and as soon as stabilized, they will be deported (our nickle, unfortunately) to their country of origin, or of their choosing.
I think if we could do something like that, they will self-deport when they realize groceries are hard to come by when you can’t make a living or get govt handouts.
“...Build the damned wall...”
I agree that the wall should definitely be built just for the symbolism. But let’s face it, illegal border crossers have figured out how to get around, over or under any obstacle we’ve emplaced so far. The wall may slow them down, but it won’t stop them. We have to remove the incentives that draw them here like 0bama draws flies...
Excellent picture of what an effective wall and law enforcement can do!
Pres. Eisenhower was effective at deporting illegals WITHOUT building a wall! He realized that there was a “significant ethical lapse” involving large scale breakdown of law enforcement, intervention by politicians at the highest levels (such as Lyndon Johnson), exploitation of ranchers/ farmers paying ~ 1/2 the prevailing wages for a citizen to do the same job and possible corruption in some border enforcement officials near the border. That potential for corruption must be far greater today with the huge amounts of money changing hands with the current levels of pot, meth and heroin crossing the borders...
Therefore, one of the 1st steps required was to remove and reassign some immigration enforcement officials to posts far from the border where their political connections would have no effect.
That is INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
To solve the immigration problem you have to solve the welfare problem.
If there is no huge welfare package for illegals there is no reason to even build the wall.
Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves and pay for the trip. Motivation is a powerful force.
