They overstayed because King Obama wants needs them to vote. The King will make an executive order allowing voting privilege.

DHS/ICE is seriously understaffed on this. Why not use bounty hunters?

I am not talking about Dog the Bounty Hunter. Just people who could locate the people here illegally.

Locate them and turn the information over to ICE for a finder’s fee. People in collections find people all the time.

The United States has issued 680,000 green cards to immigrants of Muslim-majority countries, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) [within the last five years]

These visa are valid for 90 days only. One get these only when they are sponsored by someone inside USA on condition that sponsorer are responsible for return also.
Why ICE is not knocking sponsors door? Fine them or put them in prison.

My town has a lot of them; they work in car washes, as movers, landscapers, roofers, and in South American restaurants (for South American clientele). They aren’t doing jobs Americans won’t do; they are taking jobs from Americans that were doing them. They have no fear of being deported, and the local government seems to prefer them to abandoned buildings as Americans flee the area and/or die out.

This will continue on a national level until Americans start having children again.

Trump may want to end it, but he’d quickly find that the previous inaction wasn’t some grand scheme of Obama’s; it was realization on the part of many municipalities/counties/states that as Americans and their employers fled punitive taxes and regulations, they could either host hives of Section 8 Welfarians or take in Third Worlders (who instead MIGHT contribute something). The only alternative (which should have happened) was to simply sell off the assets and abandon the area.

The NYC metro area and southern CA have been doing this for decades, and the rest of the country is footing the bill. As the American population continues to dwindle, this problem now rears its head in many other places; those fleeing to greener pastures will simply find their wealth re-distributed at the federal level (via Section 8, SNAP/WIC, ObamaCare, etc.).

I guess the 12-15 million illegals here don’t count.

How? How are you going to track 500,000 people who have disappeared into the cracks?
