Besides the following...
Build the Wall
No Amnesty
No Citizenship
No Sanctuary Cities
Commit a crime and you are out
...the debate seems to be what to do with the “good” ones. (employed, families, etc.)
Toss ‘em, or work with ‘em. ? I’d tend to work with ‘em, probably with a touchback or some sort of official documentation, so we know who and how many. This will be a massive, and difficult task....I don’t fault the Trump campaign for not knowing exactly how to do this.
Besides, I think it will have to be congress to set a procedure, not the president. This whole issue is being corrupted by political correctness. And, of course, the media.
with no serial immigration for the “rest of their family’
Thanks for a smaller summary of the issue.
I agree with you about Trump. This is a huge problem and I do think congress will have to deal with it.
No way should our country have open borders and no way should people just waltz in here and do what the want. Every politico ever elected since Regan’s big amnesty is at fault for allowing this to happen.
The Republicans once upon a time had control of congress. THEY could have done something.
As for the Beelow types, lookit it’s easy to cross arms and be big and mean but I can see a sight byte of cutie pie Jaden as Beelow drags him into a car to go back to Ecuador. Liberals love sight and sound bytes and this is exactly what they’ll do.
I don’t have the answers and it seems like Donald Trump doesn’t either. BUT WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
And there I think Trump is best suited to deal wth the problem, communicate with we, the little people, and somehow get it done.
He knows:
"Get 'em out!"
Until you build the wall, deportation debates are just cheap parlor tricks.
When you reward something, you get more of it. We had a "one-time" amnesty in 1986. The proponents said there would never be another one. This was it. At the time, the USG estimated one million would apply, but the true number turned out to be 2.7 million. There was a surge of illegal immigration once the law was discussed and passed despite the fact that you had to be here for five years to apply. We now have 11 to 30 million illegals here.
Once legalized, the lawbreakers could sponsor another 60 million of their relatives thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification. This figure came from the Heritage Foundation if there were only 12 million illegals.
How fair is it to allow the lawbreakers to get to the head of the line on immigration? They are allowed to stay and work here, the object of their crime, while over 4 million intending legal immigrants are waiting their turn overseas--some for many years. They have completed all the paperwork, background investigations, physicals, etc.
Attrition thru enforcement is the key. Sure there can be individual cases with special circumstances that can be addressed using the existing laws. It is done all the time. 60% of all green cards are issued to people already here thru a change of status.
Let's try enforcement first. Why the rush to legalize the lawbreakers, i,e., "work with them?" Hell, what happens if there are 30 million of them?
