Refuse to be dragged into the debate on the 14th Amendment, and instead present your plan to make it irrelevant.
1. Build the Wall.
2. Enforce E-Verify (means fining violating employers)
3. Enforce the Border.
4. Deport the Criminals.
5. Stop providing taxpayer benefits to illegals.
6. Privatize the legal immigration process, to motivate efficiency.
Number # 6 on your list is an interesting idea...
We would need a federally funded program to clean up the toxic waste from exploding liberals heads if ever passed..
1 to 5 are no brainers...except to our overlords in DC...
Most illegals get benefits thru their American born children.
I have no idea what you mean by privatizing the legal immigration process. It is ridiculous to outsource legal immigration given the national security concerns along with the impact on the economy. Under the Constitution, Congress is supposed to set the rules on who can and cannot enter along with determing who can be a citizen.
There needs only ONE step that would supersede your whole TO-DO list and the ONLY Constitutional method:
DISMANTLE THE WELFARE STATE
Couple that with a return to a service model for schools and like (IE: no more ‘auto pay’ by property taxes) and it’s a win-win-win.
