The first thing the feds need to do is enforce all of the immigration laws already on the books, no exceptions.
The next thing to do is smack down sanctuary cities and states that refuse to abide by the law. That includes cutting off states from federal funds that give quarter to illegal aliens.
Then, start arresting employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Start enforcing I-9 reporting requirements.
Also, go after people who have overstayed travel, education, and limited work visas.
The most important thing is to secure regain our control of the southern border. Allow ICE, INS, the BP, etc. to actually do their jobs.
Oh, and one more thing. Make it a federal offense for ANY local, state, or federal official to interfere with border enforcement or offer sanctuary to illegal aliens. Also, make it a felony offense for any individual or corporation to employ an illegal alien.
Illegal aliens are NOT US citizens, therefore they are not entitled to the same rights of US citizens.
At nest, the only rights that they have are under the Geneva convention regarding prisoners of war.
For all intents and purpose, mexico is considered a hostile nation to the US. Their nationals should be treated as such.
You forgot “Build a Wall”
“enforce all of the immigration laws already on the books”
Politically possible.
“smack down sanctuary cities and states”
Unlikely. Republicans might (or might not) support it: Democrats would block it.
“start arresting employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens”
Unlikely. Many Republicans would probably not support it: Democrats would block it.
“go after people who have overstayed travel, education, and limited work visas”
Possible, but would require higher expenditures to be effective.
Anyway, you see where I’m going with this.
