I disagree that moderation can’t work. Attrition seems the best way to circumvent the left by appealing to a majority of Americans. Then, as we offer citizenship to those interested, we can say that now since we gave you a choice, then you have to leave. Offering citizenship will get some out of the shadows, which is a better place than the government makes it out to be, and the rest who stay there can be dealt with in a more aggressive manner since they didn’t accept the alternative. We should increase ICE’s budget and build more federal prisons to house illegal felons and gang members. We have to seal the border by backing up the border patrol and finishing the fence. Along with this it will be imperative that English is made our official language. To make this easier, English should be made the official language of our government. Denying welfare benefits to illegals can offer an incentive to become citizens. We can cut off funding to sanctuary cities. This is all attrition and it will work.

>>Offering citizenship will get some out of the shadows<<

That is the amnesty mantra, and hearing it gets annoying to most of us on FR.

>>This is all attrition and it will work.<<

The “out of the shadows” mantra is not attrition, and that would convince any person in the world who wants to migrate here that there will always be another amnesty if they sneak in and wait long enough.

LOL! Where do you live? There are none in the shadows here in Mexifornia. They are in the streets, rioting and demanding everything be in Spanish and demanding 'rights'. They are hardly hiding - which is actually what they should be doing. Just as any criminal should be doing. And handing them citizenship just rewards their illegal behavior, while punishing those that have been abiding by our laws and have been paying their fees and waiting in line. You know - those that would actually be proud to be American, learn the language, and assimilate.
