Build the wall from CA to TX now to stop any more illegals from coming in! Be sure to pump up security for those coming in by air and chase down and deport those that fail to go home after their visa expires. How? Add more and better border control agents at airports
Heavily fine and then jail non-complying employers who hire the illegals. Then, pump up the police forces to handle all the crime that will inevitably follow when the illegals can't find work.
Ship all the illegals now in our jails back to their countries of origin.
Next: Find a way to ID all visitors to the US, one that is not easy to counterfeit (as are all SS cards, Green cards, passports, voter records, Mexican IDs and State-issued driver's licenses now being freely used by illegals). In other words, we must face the difficult, but inevitable idea of a national ID card that cannot be forged or counterfeited and a simple way to pass them through some kind of machine that instantly identifies false or mis-used cards. Deport anyone with such a damaged or false card.
As for the remaining millions, urge them to go home by every means possible and allow them to return to the US only when they meet the conditions of legal immigration. That means a gradual, but non-stop system of deportation.
NO AMNESTY for those that remain here!
Locate and jail all "coyotes" and other groups that support or facilitate illegal immigration. That might include some churches and the ACLU.
If some illegals are "proven" agricultural workers, and can be identified as such, allow them to stay for two years, but provide them with an unbreakable "agri-worker" ID card that can be renewed if they provide evidence of actual work in agriculture in a specific place or state.
Stop or heavily tax all methods of sending money back to countries of origin.
. Stop making it easy for illegals to get drivers licenses or other unacceptable ID cards. Cut Federal funding to States that are now providing such IDs.
Immediately pass a law that prohibits any more "citizenship by birth" methods of getting around the law. Also stop the allowance of family members to be sponsored and brought into the US by illegals already here.
George, if you will do this, you may avoid a revolution. We ain't buying any plan that suggest amnesty in any other language. We westerners are beyond angry, but you don't seem to "get it" yet. It's time to show some real cojones! In the meantime, order, with the State Govs, National Guard troops on the borders until the wall is up.
I have never really thought about it before...why on God's green earth are we provide legal services for and jailing criminals that aren't even American citizens. That's just rampant insanity.
