If the US began enforcing its immigration laws, our economy would strengthen......

Simply cut illegals off of all welfare programs and public schools. Deport all imprisoned illegals at the end of their sentences.

We might not even need a wall.

No adult or child with a valid AID Card gets deported. Ever

That's really a bad idea. Why not let them have 2 rapes and a murder free before we kick the foreign invaders out while you're at it?

..won't work, they won't enforce current laws, making new ones makes no sense. Another little item open border people won't recognize...illegals don't want to become citizens...rat politicians will seek their vote and reward them by taxing the rest of us for free benefits for them.

I would point out that if there are 30 million illegals, they translate to 50 democrat house seats.

Most of that is pointless. You’ll charge them for the card but its okay if they don’t pay. You’ll tax remittances and then give it back to them.

Half of the illegals are on some kind of welfare, a large chunk are in jail and all their kids are going to taxpayer funded schools.

2. Require EVERY illegal alien now on this side of the border get a unique and non-transferable Alien ID Card: with photograph, physical description and date of birth, computer card embed, and two thumbprints. On the embedded computer card, record all biometric data AND all fingerprints and the photograph.

You have a grammar problem with that sentence. Let me suggest the following corrected grammar:

You're welcome.

PS: don't tell me it can't be done. They came one at a time, they can be deported one at a time. Give them onting to come for and they will self-deport. The rest, we deport.

I will only support mass round ups deputizing citizens if necessary due to a shortage of federal officers.

No to your amnesty plan!

Enforce the laws and they will leave on their own.

By really trying to secure the border, and by establishing a cut-off date for adult AID Cards before the legistlation is enacted, “new” illegal aliens (those trying to get in in future years) cannot get AID cards.

Establish a separate (and parallel) effective ID Card program for those LEGAL aliens who want to enter temporarily as seasonal farm workers or temporary workers for a specific period for a specific job. But keep that problem separate from those who want a blanket and complete amnesty for the illegals already here, and who are preventing any border programs from working because they are trying desperately to protect the illegals already here. Take that propaganda weapon away from them.

I think the first thing that needs to be passed is citizenship like other countries...ie, if you are born here you are not automatically a US citizen.

We are becoming a world of corruption and over throwing of govts. When these happen we “have” to go help those US citizens who have citizenship but don’t even live here or contribute anything to our nation, only take.

I also think we should shut off citizenship for about 5 years so that we can absorb what we have now and rethink where we want to go. Seeing the “new citizens” on the news is not heartwarming the last decade or so to me.

Seems a bit complicated and lax but other than that...

As long as that border is truly secure FIRST (not with this government of course)

Half of illegals are on welfare and many others are in prison for violent crimes.

You think we NEED that?

They are a drag on the economy, not a boost

What would stop a Mexican from buying a ticket to cananda, and walking south across the border?

“If the illegal alien parents are deported, they can either take the children with them, or give custody to another Yellow Card AID card already here.”

No! No way, keep families together. If one or both parents are deported, the family must be kept together. Children go with the family.

Here’s why: the huge psychological blow of separation from parents is equivalent to essentially being abandonned.

My nephew’s parents split, and the boy came to live with his grandparents and myself. The trauma was horrendous, the psychological toll very high, resulting in 9-years of psychotherapy. And the amazing part is he knew us thoroughly and had lived with us off and on for the first seven years of his life.

Believe me, it is best in the long run to keep families together.

Hopefully, "Canandian" immigration.
