Read he thread and quit being an annoying ass. You will discover that it COULD be done if we had the WILL...but we don’t I'm sorry, that's still not a plan. How are you going to round them up and deport en masse them without violating civil liberties, up to and including the accidental detention of legal immigrants and U.S. citizens?
I'm not asking for an evaluation of the national will (nor insults directed at me), I'm asking for a plan.
What is your solution?
I think the Thompson plan is right on target -- it mirrors my own thinking:
- Secure the border first and foremost. Nothing else matters if the illegals can just waltz right back in.
- Eliminate "sanctuary cities". Governments at all levels are controllable by the purse-strings. Deny them the funding they rely on and watch how fast they'll start to play ball.
- Eliminate barriers to enforcement. Give immigration officials the tools and authority they need to do their jobs.
- Eliminate incentives for illegals to come and/or stay. Enforce employment screening (including making it easier for employers to screen and to report suspicious behavior without fear of legal reprisal). Eliminate social benefits. Attrition works, as has been demonstrated in a small handful of states already.
- Deport illegals arrested for other crimes. 'Nuff said.
Will it get 100% of the illegal aliens? No. But it will get rid of many of them, and do so without violating anyone else's rights. And by emphasizing border security first and foremost, the problem will not continue to get worse.
