I see absolutely nothing wrong with your plan for FUTURE LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. But you have not addressed what to do with the 12 million plus already here illegally, who are either collecting welfare benefits, holding jobs (most work hard at low paid jobs) or committing crimes.
Like I said we are broke. We do not have the resources to track down 12 million illegals who are all underground. We do not know who and where. When I received my Green Card I had to register my address EVERY YEAR to keep my visa legal.
the plan is to turn off the welfare, and stop giving them benefits like in-state tuition, turn off the jobs and make them go home on their own accord.
Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Here is what I said in my plan:
" Enforce existing immigration laws to reduce the current illegal alien population and limit future illegal immigration, i.e., attrition thru enforcement. Enforcement would include: (1) ending the job magnet; (2) increasing coordination at the federal level by eliminating barriers to information sharing among agencies; (3) leveraging state and local enforcement resources; (4) fully implementing the US-VISIT Program to track and deport visa overstays; and (5) make mandatory and improve such programs as E-Verify and 287 [g] authority to assist employers and law enforcement in identifying illegal aliens;
I also described further in my post what attrition thru enforcement meant.
Like I said we are broke. We do not have the resources to track down 12 million illegals who are all underground.
This is one reason why attrition thru enforcement is the best solution. The idea is to make this country as unwelcoming to illegal aliens as possible. Shut off the job magnet, cut off social benefits, no in-state tuition for illegals, deport any illegal picked up by law enforcement, etc.
When I received my Green Card I had to register my address EVERY YEAR to keep my visa legal.
We have over 2 million criminal aliens. They are not going to register nor will millions more who don't trust the government or don't want to legalized. Once you are legalized, employers must adhere to things like the minimum wage. You are less competitive as a legal worker.
Green cards or legalization entitles you to social welfare and entitlement benefits. The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty would be $2.6 trillion just for increased entitlement program costs. And this doesn't include Obamacare. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.
