Existing Illegals in US problem can be solved by establishing the procedure for existing 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 gesture and recognition by government for failing of handling the (ID) requirements in the past. Definitely cheaper and more practical than assembling army of overpaid agents to collect and deport all illegals. With upcoming revival of American economy, US can use existing workers, versus inefficient procedures to handle fresh workers and immigrants. 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"!
The situation with illegal immigration was caused by government failure to administer and enforce the proper system, regulations, after President Reagan’s amnesty. Government bureaucracy is responsible for the mess for failing to implement proper issuing of IDs and tracking of residents and visitors, 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 to 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. No need for immigration lottery and chain immigration, bring in people who can contribute to growth and prosperity for all. Otherwise, there will be no end to decline of this once great country. Cleanup the government! Drain the swamp! No excuses for color, minority, sex orientation for hiring incapable workers.
Mandatory ID system. Everyone on US soil should have proper ID card according to their status. Only people with proper ID are allowed to stay in US, hold the job or attend institution and obey the US laws. If you like Sharia, go to Middle East and enjoy it. No ID? You overstay your permitted time? You will be deported and barred from future entries. Classes of ID, could be combined with driver licenses, all required to register their whereabouts: A. US citizens – issued citizen’s ID card, blue color and US passports if requested, eligible to vote in US elections. B. Permanent residents – (Resident Aliens) issued or having “green cards” ID card, green color, allowing life time residency. No US passport or voting rights. C. Temporary students – issued temporary student ID card, yellow color, showing expiration date. D. Temporary workers – issued temporary worker ID card, orange color, showing expiration date. E. Visitors – have passports and proper visas, could be issued visitor’s ID card, red color. F. ???? – as needed
All ID cards have photo, finger print, tracking (Soc. Security) number and personal information allowing quick check of person’s status. Country of origin or previous residence/citizenship code can also be included. Central registry verification available if needed with click of a scanner.
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”. (Or allow longer time to become citizen if conditions fulfilled.) Their children, born in US can be eligible for citizenship, if no criminal records. Those who illegally entered the US after say, 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.
Bring the manufacturing back to US – lower the taxes, bring the bright and capable workers, technicians and engineers, build the base for the upcoming technology explosion boom. Use the existing legalized “illegals” base. Fix the bureaucracy; establish ID system and ENFORCE IT! Recent tax law changes and Executive Orders by President Trump get economy moving, unemployment has dropped and America can use positive work force already here. If more temporary workers are needed, inefficient immigration bureaucrats need to be fired and replaced with bright officials.
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! I just can’t see why this cannot be implemented. Government screwed up and needs to fix it. Just ask anyone who had to go through the Immigration Dept. “procedures”! 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, instead of expensive wall, can be implemented by simpler barbed wire fences and automated patrolling by electronic surveillance, drones and having border guards or reservists 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. See the German inventor flying over billion dollar wall in the home made few dollar bathtub drone: https://www.facebook.com/diplytech/videos/1102304213244514/ What is needed is to remove the attraction for people coming into US illegally, staying illegally and working illegally – everyone should have valid ID. No ID or legal status to stay on US soil? Deport and penalize those enabling it. Today’s technology allows to efficiently issue ID cards and to verify and 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! Cheaper, logical and humane solution to fix the immigration problem once and for all. Demand it!

P.S. I have tried to publicize and disseminate this article for over a year. It was sent to President’s Office, talk show hosts, tried to call the shows, but it looks like the WALL of swamp critters is stopping the sanity. Talking heads and crooked politicians keep talking about “Immigration Problem,” Republicans like cheap labor, Democrats like free confused voters. Lying media is busy with two scoops of ice cream and Russians voting in US. Is there ANYONE who can bring this proposal to fruition, discussion? Smuggle it to Mr. Trump’s office, Congress, Senate???
frustrated, deplorable, taxpayer YB
Although Final solution is the phrase that will garner the attention.
What makes you think that will be enforced? NO amnesty of any sort.
Also, why do you say they’re not criminals? Being here illegally makes them criminals.
No amnesty to those illegally here already. Chance to come out and become legal RESIDENT, with no voting rights.
Reagan amnesty was well intended, but lazy government bureaucrats screwed it up with negligence and horrible "procedures".
Everybody in US should have ID reflecting their status: Citizen, resident, visitor, temporary worker, whatever. No ID then deportation. Once they know it, they will not try to become illegals, but go through process.
Yes, been done and didn’t work, already.
OK, get 2 TSA agent per illegal, hold them up for xxx days, wait for lawyers to process them, bla, bla, bla.... as it is happening now.
There is bunch of hardworking illegals already here, would be willing to legalize RESIDENCE. Much cheaper and humane, filling employment needs. You try to replace them with "fresh" workers, takes 5 years to Immigration Services to "process" them.
“Everybody in US should have ID reflecting their status: Citizen, resident, visitor, temporary worker, whatever. No ID then deportation.”
No kind of police state there, no sir.
Been done by Reagan, but screwed up by Immigration bureaucrats.
Need to do it right and cleanup the stupid bureaucracy. No compulsory ID system, immigration mess, voter fraud, yapping about the "situation" and doing nothing.
By the time they will build expensive wall, the drones will by flying over laughing at it. Need ID system to eliminate the "magnet" and fix the government bureaucrats.
No kind of police state there, no sir.
No. "Freedom" for shady characters in turbans, drugs smugglers, criminals, freeloaders, etc. They can freely wander around and do as they please.
Can you go to library or drive the car without ID?
Thats reeeeely fascist to require ID!
I was expecting that people, especially FReepers would read the article, think about it, and engage in some discussion or offer improvements.
I and some family members went through the Immigration nightmare procedures. I am grateful to have the chance to obtain privilege to live in this magnificent country.
Only country in the world where people can be illegal, without proper ID of their status - the result of inefficient bureaucrats running immigration asylum.
I am trying to propose engineer’s solution to the problems, only to be called Nazi???
I just wish that people would READ the article, try to digest it and offer comments or better solutions than calling me names.
Thank you FReepers, I thought there were bit more decent people here.
Giving illegal aliens legal status IS amnesty.
They have to go home.
There’s a hell of a difference between requiring ID in certain specific circumstances and requiring ID to exist.
I guess you and I just have different ideas about how much the state is entitled to control everyone.
Never ever name your plan Final Solution. {slaps forehead}
Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves and pay for the trip. Motivation is a powerful force.
Reusing the script from President Reagan's biggest mistake. I have a better idea. Deport them all. No exceptions. If they leave on their own before arrest, they can keep any of their stuff that they take with them on their way out; otherwise the deportation and court costs are taken from their possessions.
Future illegals? Nope. No amnesty. Ever. We fell for that one once, and that's one too many times. We need 12 million deportations to start (not really - after a few hundred thousands, those criminals will go home on their own, and we'll have the resources to focus on the much smaller number of hard-core criminals who insist on staying). Then we can count how many are left and deport them too. Finish the job.
Screw that, we already know they are criminals. Shut down criminal migrants, and then we can open up LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
Deport the bastards, one and all.
I think that your article is well intended but it just jams in too many possible solutions to the illegal immigration and voter fraud that is totally out of control in America. Item by item, one thing at a time, will have to be considered for implementation. Neither voter fraud or illegal immigration will be stopped without a willing elected congress and support of all state govt leaders. The wall, or barrier, that Pres Trump is working to get built is not just a symbol to appease his voters. It is a basic necessity and all other security measures attached to it will reinforce the effectiveness of both. Pres Trump has taken the measure of those who oppose borders and is showing the American public just why we have not been able to build border security for generations. No new set of rules or regulations will get that wall built or stop these global funded invasions of illegals from around the world. Some might call this obstruction by our American leaders just political. And some might also think America is being sold to the highest bidder. Home grown traitors to the Americans who own this country.
... takes 5 years to Immigration Services to “process” them ...
... because of screwball judicial rulings.
A better solution would be for them all to go home where they belong. Today. Right now. This minute.
Those that arrived post 1986 illegally need to be booted out. Basta!
