I think if we make eVerify mandatory, throw employers who insist on hiring illegals in jail, knock off the phony 14th Amendment bull**** and stop all medical, food stamp and free money freebies, they’ll go home. If you take it away, they will leave.
“stop all medical, food stamp and free money freebies” That and criminals and DUI drivers is where the focus should be.
It has been a tactical mistake to focus on those who work and don’t cause problems. Conservatives have always been for people who work. Conservatives have always been for upward mobility, which is what most illegals are about.
It is not practical to focus on 11 (or 50) million. That is no focus at all.
Focus on the 10% (1.1 to 5 million) who are undesireables.
The reality is that the 10% of bad apples account for 99% of the problems with illegals. That is a winning tactical focus that a majority of Americans support.
But 70% of Americans want to keep the 90% of illegals who cause no problem.
(Incidentally, immigrants from Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Chechnya, Serbia, and a few other ex-commie countries have a much higher percentage of undesireables than Mexicans.)
I agree. We need interior enforcement in addition to securing borders. Cut the freebies.
