But keep in mind there have been many 'precedents' put in place which have made enforcing existing immigration laws increasingly difficult to enforce.
We need to force the system to 'follow the rule of law' and not 'precedent'.
It's going to take a lot of work to untangle the knot of legal and illegal immigration laws and 'precedents'.
Also, Trump deflects critics who say he's only targeting illegal aliens.
The fact is the whole system needs a good high colonic.
Lies on immigration and naturalization papers often orginate with the lawyers and immigration consultants. Some of them are far worse than the immigrants they take advantage of.
Focus on undesirables:
1) Terrorist sympathizers and terrorists, regardless of status or anything else.
2) Murderers, rapists, thieves, DUI drivers
3) Welfare parasites. No immigrant should receive any type of welfare, including EITC, Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, etc. We should not be creating a new underclass.
4) everify is dangerous. Once we let the government private employers who they can and cannot hire we are heading for trouble and unintended consequences.
5) Immigrants of any status who work and take care of their families should not be the focus. Ignore them, except to verify that they are not in one of the 3 categories of undesireables.
I suggest 10% or about 1.2 million illegals are undesireable. When that 1.2 million undesirables have been removed, let me know and I will reassess my position.
