President-elect Donald Trump's immigration adviser Kris Kobach warned Tuesday no one living here illegally will get a "free pass" and predicted many immigrants would leave as jobs and benefits "dry up."
Kobach, one of the architects of Arizona's anti-immigration law SB1070, made the statement on Fox News when he was asked what Trump plans to do about people who are illegally, but are working hard and are not regarded as criminals. Kobach reached back to the immigration speech Trump made in August in Phoenix, when there were thoughts then-candidate Trump might be easing his view on immigrants.
In that speech, Trump said "every person in this country has to follow American law. No person living here illegally gets a free pass, like they did under the Obama administration," Kobach said.
"The jobs are going to dry up, the welfare benefits are going to dry up, and a lot of people who may not be criminal illegal aliens may decide, hey, it's getting hard to disobey federal law, and may leave on their own," he said.
Undocumented immigrants cannot receive the government benefit that is often called welfare, but is officially known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. They also cannot apply for healthcare or other benefits.
The federally and state funded program is designed to assist children, so a U.S. citizen child of a parent not legally here, can qualify for it. The same may be true for health care or other programs.
The "self-deportation" idea has raised questions in the past about how far officials will go to "dry up" any benefits. It can create problems when applied to mixed status families, particularly when parents are illegally in the country but children are not.

This is the way I see it....
Imagine you had a very good long time employee who did everything right. They were trust worthy. They did a good job. They could always be counted on.
One day you find out that they lied on their resume 10 years ago when they got hired. They claimed that they had previous experience when they actually had none.
What do you do?
This is what I would do.
I would fire the employee and post their job in the classifieds. I would let them re-interview for the position along with all of the other candidates who apply. If I find someone else with more experience I will hire them. If not, I may give my employee their job back.
In the same way, I would force the illegals to leave but give the law abiding ones first dibs under the new immigration system that is developed.

The children are then free to opt for American citizenship when they reach their majority.
Here in GA the illegals are not supposed to get anything. But the women find some guy and pop out an illegitimate anchor baby or three and then run down to defax and get their peach cards. Its got to be stopped.
