I agree we should deport illegal immigrants.
I said as much in my previous post.
The question is how do you find them illegals!
We can’t count on the police to find them.
May be 1% will be stopped for a traffic violation
or other suspicious activity. Police are not present
on every street corner. Police can’t even find the
10 most wanted on FBI list. How the heck will they
find 15 million illegals?
So...the best method would be to pass laws making it
against the law to hire illegals. This will require
setting up a vast database of legal US citizens and
legal residents on green cards. Or, the law can place
the burden on employers to determine who is illegal.
Does not sound like a practical approach. Look at he
fiasco on signing up for Obamacare after spending over
a Billion dollars just to set up the web sites.
The only PRACTICAL approach I see is issue work permits
to those who wish to come forward and apply. Those can
be processed for criminal background checks. I believe
this infrastructure is already in place. Employers can
then fire anyone without a work permit.
This automatically weeds out those who choose to remain
in the shadows or have criminal records. It becomes easier
for law enforcement to differtiate those who should be
deported immediately.
I know where 6,000 are being housed in Arizona.
Step one always has to be total control of borders, coasts, airports, and visas. That means no more illegal entry.
If we don’t run ANY special program to find or authorize illegals, and simply deport those that come to light through some mis-step, then truly controlled borders will eventually bring an end to 99.9% of illegal immigration.
Other countries control their borders pretty well. Why can’t the US?
In short, no thanks.
Make verification of citizenship or legal status a prerequisite for ANY goobermint services or bennies EXCEPT emergency medical care.
Eliminate the “anchor baby” interpretation of the 14h amendment. It was never intended to be that - read the words of those who sponsored and passed it.
When an illegal is pulled over for a driving offence, if he/she cannot produce a driver’s license and proof of insurance, immediately impound the car. Return the car ONLY when a person with a license and insurance AND ownership comes to pick it up.
When an illegal is found and subsequently automatically arrested, deport them forthwith. No “hearings”, no “please come to court” slips, nada. Put ‘em on a bus with armed guards, drive to the nearest border, and dump ‘em on the other side of the line. The only “defence” requiring a hearing or court date should be citizenship or a green card.
