You may be correct. I’d be satisfied with deporting criminals and potential terrorists. As to the others, perhaps issue them temporary renewal work permits. No government benefits at all and no path to citizenship, that can be revisited in 5-10 years. And a requirement they have/purchase health and auto liability insurance. No, not fair to American low wage earners, but perhaps doable with a Republican House and Senate.
You make a point, for sure.
But, I think there’s a simple, but potentially “painful” way to deal with them. And Pres Trump isn’t afraid to go into enemy territory.
Watch some of the videos of folks from Chicago at their city council meetings. They ain’t happy.
Let Pres Trump go to one of his “town halls”, invite those folks and give them the numbers. Where their tax money is going, how it’s being spent. Who’s making all the money. Who’s getting all the jobs and why. All the waste, fraud and abuse.
He’d make those people madder than they are now. They’d force their “reps” to do the right thing or they’d be gone.
And, of course, lay all that same info out to the country and when budget time comes with the CRs and Omnibus, be ready to shut the government down because the libs won’t do what right by their constituents.
“Hate to be a downer but I believe the illegals are here to stay.”
Indeed, they are.
What is more important than deportation is capping residential real property and middle-class income taxation.
The national debt can be dealt with by Value Added Taxation of about 6% paid by corporations.
The federal corporate tax rate might be the national debt/$1 trillion less 10 percent.
If the federal debt is $37 trillion, the federal corporate tax rate would be 27%.
CUT OFF THEIR FREEBIES & THEY WILL LEAVE.
