“We could even charge a fine or fee for those who entered illegally, but who have afterward been law-abiding citizens. This would enable us to more easily deport the folks who are actual criminals and allow us to support communities with high concentrations of immigrants. I don’t think that idea will be much talked about, though. It is too easy, sensible and cost effective. Instead we hear calls for mass deportation.”

Of course he’s apparently ignorant to the fact that over 90% of recent “immigrants” from central America who were released and given court dates, well, they simply FTA’D (failed to appear) and melted away to safe houses.
It seems likely they would ignore the fines, doesn’t it? That they would probably take the amnesty—that those like you would demand as a quid pro quo—for the (sham) agreement to pay fines, and other nonsense, and run.
The good professor doesn’t really explain how charging a fine that no one really plans to enforce (like the entire 1986 amnesty act) would help us deport “folks who are actual criminals” (obviously he doesn’t think they are broken any laws) and how (or why) the (unpaid) fines should go to support communities with lots of “immigrants”.

This author’s excuse is that he’s an economist and educator.

“Wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to seriously penalize employers hiring illegals?”

You’ve been around FR long enough to have been exposed to the reality of the Uniparty and dealing with illegal aliens.

Other than being a noob, what’s your excuse for the consistently fatuous GOP-e propositions you are always posting as solutions to this serious problem?

Oh, my solution?

First, secure the border. That’s the sine qua non.
Then, begin identifying and deporting aliens here illegally.
Finally, start *fining* employers using illegal aliens and enforce payment of the fines.
The problem we have now is, now they don’t think we’re serious, and they’re right.
We just have to get serious. Trump sounds serious.

It ain’t rocket science.

I didn’t realize I was so fatuous. I’m not even sure what that means in this context. But if being on FR for a lengthier time will get me properly educated, I hope it comes quickly. At 72, I don’t have a lot of time left.
