A policeman in a car costs the average city about $200 an hour. Helicopters cost at least $2000 an hour with the ground crews. What is the full cost of a teacher per hour? $140.00 or there about.
If we could get illegal aliens to turn each other in, just the ones trying to slip through the net, (I know thousands would attempt it) we would save billions in law enforcement, welfare programs, unemployment, medical care, job training and schools the first year.
Do all this under Executive Order and tell the Courts to back off. This is national security!
Any employer who has employed an illegal alien more than five months from the announcement date will be fined $5000 per employee. One month later enforcement begins. This will give employers 5 months to shed the illegals and hire legally papered actual American citizens.
Then on the announced date, start in a state such as Oklahoma. Well centered, not overly populated and clean the state out. This would give Homeland, INS and Border Patrol time to install their co-agents in various court houses around the country to verify a persons paperwork, i.e.. birth certificates, hospital records, etc.
Go state to state from the epicenter sweeping out the criminals who have successfully avoided suspicion. They already had 5 months to get out, hanging around to test the system carries a SEVERE penalty. They won't be able to say they weren't warned.
Divide a state into quadrants depending on population per square mile., First arrest those whose names were turn in for the bounty. Then others suspected by local law agencies. When arrests slow down, open an adjoining quadrant.
Get caught after the selected dated and the result would be every foreign national who is not in America legally would forfeit all their belongings (houses, cars, bank accounts, etc.) and be deported within 24 hours. These forfeited belongings would then be given to local churches for distribution to the needy in that community. Another cost saver!
This enforcement would apply to illegals from every country in the world, not just Mexico.
Imagine the number of Chinese who would be taking the ship home with everything in the house, new cars, you name it would be on those ships. The thousands of Canadians who decided the USA was better than Canada would be again headed North.
I thought your comments bore repeating.
I think the idea of a $50 bounty, and then the enforcement following is the most reasoned approach. Everyone thinks or says "You can't send them all home, because there are just too many of them".
Your approach shows that IF you start somewhere, you can make a big impact, and with the show of force, enforcement wherever it's started, Americans would become emboldened to turn in more, - and on it would go.
Thanks for taking the time to write all of that out.
We have to begin somewhere. Why not with the bounty and subsequent enforcement?
If you were running for office, I'd show up to help you get elected.

My plan gives major consideration to the costs of detention, processing and deportation of the illegals.
I don't want anyone being taxed for anything that's unnecessary. If we can get the illegals to go back home under their own costs taking with them all the private property they have legally attained, I support that.
Should we have to use our LEO's to arrest, detain, process and deport the illegals the penalty will be forfiture of all private property.
Anything they own that the local government agencies can use, houses, cars, cash, heavy or small equipment, etc. goes to them if needed, the rest should go to local churches for dispursement to the needy.
