I'd settle for a wall across our southern border, a moratorium on immigration, and the arrest and deportation of all crimigrants with criminal records.
Then we can deal with the messycan families who live here quietly. It's gone too far for any other solution.
If jorge busho had done the honorable and right thing during his administration, we might have had a chance. But he deliberately stabbed us in the back and made it impossible to fix.
That oh-so-reasonable compromise of yours (and Donald’s) would give us 30 million new Leftist voters, a majority of whom are low-skill and would be not only life-long, but muultigenerational drains on the public till. Meanwhile, that 30 million would swell to 90 million in no time via chain migration.
Turn out the lights, the USA is over.
Trump has also talked about the need for increasing immigration from European countries, of people who are highly qualified or who have benefited from our educational system.
Obviously Trump isn’t talking about a “moratorium on immigration,” but he is talking about increased immigration of high quality people that the country needs, which is exactly the reverse of the current policy, which is to keep 1st worlders out and let in the third world.
Say they would allow it, how would you accomplish it? There are 230 judges hearing deportation cases in this country. If we allow one hour per hearing and allowing for a normal working day, holidays, and vacations then each judge would hear about 1900 cases per year, 437,000 total. It would take you between 25 and 75 years to deport the 11 million to 30 million illegals that are already here.
Everyone talks about building walls and deporting those who are here. But none of the candidates, certainly not Trump, have thought through the mechanics. They're all blowing smoke, spouting off for the media, and at the end of the day don't really know what to do about the problem.
