1. Existing Illegals in US problem can be solved by establishing procedure for Illegals to come out of shadow and register, give those about 1 or 2 years to do so. That would give them working permit – visas, say for 3 years and chance to apply for resident status. Will have to pay taxes and keep registering their whereabouts and employment. One time exemption – "resident amnesty" to become Resident Alien (not citizen) for those who entered US before, say 2012, others would have to go back and apply from their home country. This is to avoid influx of fresh illegals. It would be humane to give chance to those who are here for longer time, with families, actively involved in American life and not being criminals. This would be humane gesture and recognition by government for not handling the recording (ID) requirements in the past. Criminals, or those illegally crossing more than once, should be deported and barred from future working permits or resident visas.
Government should set up immigration offices in states, staffed with capable people, set up proper procedures and handle applications efficiently. Expanded Motor Vehicle offices can be used as a base for issuing and tracking ID of all temporary aliens and visitors. You got here – you have to register and notify where you are. Everybody has to have proper ID documents.
Employers should be required to employ only workers with valid legal status or working permit. Otherwise heavy fines and penalties. States to enforce the law. There should be no one in the country that has no proper documentation. No "sanctuary cities"!
2. The situation with illegal immigration was caused by government failure to administer and enforce the proper system, regulations, after President Reagan’s amnesty. Somebody should be responsible and be penalized for failure to properly implement the measures to rectify the situation we are in today, when illegals and criminals can kill innocent people, enter country multiple times and hide in “sanctuary cities”. In the past we have seen government departments being infested by incapable people, cronies of politicians. The result is the horrible inefficiency and problems plaguing our every day’s lives. Waste, mismanagement, cronyism, injustice are causing once great America slide to mediocracy and socialist hell. There is a need for surgery and cleanup of government bureaucracy, bringing in people with business experience and work ethics, and removing the entrenched bureaucrats. Otherwise, there will be no end to decline of this once great country. Cleanup government! No excuses for color, minority, sex orientation for hiring incapable workers.
3. Bring the manufacturing back to US – lower the taxes, bring the bright and capable workers, technicians and engineers. Fix the bureaucracy; establish ID system and ENFORCE IT! Simple system of issuing working permits to foreigners: Is there need for you in US? Have job offered? Show documentation and apply for it, specify period of employment. Government OFFICE verifies it (phone call, email) and if legit, issues the visas and/or working permit. Applicant arrives at the workplace, registers with the OFFICE, works and pays taxes. If needs extension, applies and gets it granted or not. Stays or not.
If there is a need for worker, he can apply for resident status and if demonstrated benefit to US, can apply for citizenship and stay here forever, with family, and contribute to making America Great Again!
Classes of ID, could be combined with driver licenses, all required to register their whereabouts:
A. Visitors – have passports and proper visas, could be issued visitor’s ID card, red color.
B. Temporary workers – issued temporary worker ID card, orange color, showing expiration date.
C. Temporary students – issued temporary student ID card, yellow color, showing expiration date.
D. Permanent residents – (Resident Aliens) issued or having “green cards” ID card, green color, allowing life time residency. No US passport or voting rights.
F. US citizens – issued citizen’s ID card, blue color and US passports if requested, eligible to vote in US elections.
All ID cards have photo, finger print, tracking (Soc. Security) number and personal information allowing quick check of person’s status. Central registry verification available if needed.
4. Establish the laws that are reasonable and ENFORCE them! Now in the computer age, there is no problem of recording and tracking goods and people. If Amazon and Google can track my package at any time, there should be no problem to track people, their whereabouts, employment, legal status. It is time to issue ID cards besides driver licenses for those that do not drive, after verification of their legal status – citizen, resident alien or temporary worker. Have also verification system, where anyone can verify validity of the ID card if necessary and to avoid forged cards. Those who illegally entered the US before 2012 can be issued Permanent Resident status and ID, but NEVER allowed to gain citizenship and voting rights as a “punishment”. Their children, born in US can be eligible for citizenship, if no criminal records. Those who illegally entered the US after 2012, should be required to return to home country and apply for legal ID and undergo proper procedure. Those with criminal record, ISIS affiliation and multiple illegal entries need not apply.
5. Everyone on US soil should have proper ID card according to their status. Only citizens are allowed to vote in US election, no problem with proper ID. Only people with proper ID allowed to hold the job or attend institution and obey the US laws. No ID? No right to stay or live in US, deportation.
I just can’t see why this cannot be implemented. Government screwed up and needs to fix it. Be humane and allow those who are here already (before 2012?) to stay, register, legalize their status HERE within few years, come out of hiding. Cheaper and more practical than trying to catch them all, deport and spend another few years to come back legally. Issue ID cards, register and track whereabouts and status of visitors and temporary workers. Require employers to employ only documented people. After grace period, deport anyone not having proper ID and legalized status.
Border protection, besides expensive wall, can be implemented by simpler barbed wire fences and automated patrolling by electronic surveilance, drones and having border guards stationed close to the popular illegal border crossings. The wall on the border can help, but it is not the SOLUTION to the illegals staying in the US. Tunnels and ladders can help to get around the wall. What is needed is to remove the attraction for people coming into US illegally, staying illegally and working illegally. Today’s technology allows to efficiently issue ID cards and to track them. This will also solve the “racist voter registration problem.” Are you a citizen? Have your citizen’s ID or passport? No problem – you can vote in American elections – one time! Easy to track and put the end to fraudulent ballot stuffing. You don’t have citizen’s ID? You have no right to vote for government to represent or control you. Nothing racist!

You had to know this would be met with fierce resistance here. One of the biggest problems in America is illegal immigration. To fix it the illegals must go home; not be legalized. If they were legalized in any way it would be like condoning murder which is exactly what some of them do here.
No, nope, fuggetaboutit, uh uh, hell no, etc. etc.
Um, no.
I’m always suspicious of amnesty pleas which use the word ‘shadow’ or ‘shadows.’
in the ongoing War Against the Rule of Law waged by GW Bush and Barack Obama the American people have been losing.
Illegal aliens have been winning
No thanks, Yuri.
Why in the world do that? We don't need no stinking amnesty.
Come out of the shadows? I want them scared and in the shadows packing to vamoose.
On your #3....Congress: DO WHAT IS NEEDED TO ELIMINATE WHATEVER LANGUAGE WHEREVER IT MIGHT BE THAT CREATES A RIGHT TO BECOME AN “ANCHORBABY” The child of a M&F here illegally should not have automatic birthright citizenship!!!
Government and capable do not belong in the same sentence. They are mutually exclusive terms.
