For one - make it law that at least one parent of a child born or immigrating into this country is a citizen before conferring citizenship on the child.
Two - eliminate welfare as a career, limit benefits so those Americans that won't do those jobs Americans won't do won't be paid not to do them.
Third - penalize felon companies/businesses/individuals who aid/hire Illegals to the point of bankruptcy, or close them completely.
Fourth - charge elected officials and judges who seek to aid illegals with the same crime counts as would a citizen face under similar charges.
Fifth - require every taxpayer funded program to determine the applicant's legal status before any assistance is considered and require agencies to report fraudulent applicants to authorities.
Sixth - give broad enforcement authority to all LEO's so they can help apprehend illegals.
Seventh - eliminate any chance of apprehended illegals being given "appearance dates". Detain every one until their scheduled deportation.
Last - place bounties on illegals, absconders, and their felon aids and publish their names.
I agree, but it'll take a constitutional amendment, not a mere act of Congress, to get that accomplished. (And this isn't because of a dumbass SCOTUS decision. Due to what most scholars view as a drafting oversight, the 14th Amendment itself -- the text -- states that someone born here is a citizen.) In most countries, a child at birth acquires the citizenship status (or lack thereof) of its mother, as of the time of the birth.
Requires a constitutional amendment. Propose it, it's long overdue.
Two - eliminate welfare as a career, limit benefits so those Americans that won't do those jobs Americans won't do won't be paid not to do them.
Done. Clinton signed it after vetoing it twice.
Third - penalize felon companies/businesses/individuals who aid/hire Illegals to the point of bankruptcy, or close them completely.
Probably a good idea, won't effect the little guys.
Fourth - charge elected officials and judges who seek to aid illegals with the same crime counts as would a citizen face under similar charges.
For how they vote? Get serious.
Fifth - require every taxpayer funded program to determine the applicant's legal status before any assistance is considered and require agencies to report fraudulent applicants to authorities.
It happens a lot. It's not fool-proof, unless you want a national ID card. I don't.
Sixth - give broad enforcement authority to all LEO's so they can help apprehend illegals.
Sounds good. Most big-city mayors will ignore it.
Seventh - eliminate any chance of apprehended illegals being given "appearance dates". Detain every one until their scheduled deportation.
Ironically, the amount of extra space needed will probably be built with illegal immigration labor. Do you have a cost estimate on that?
Last - place bounties on illegals, absconders, and their felon aids and publish their names.
But if you know who they are, how hard is it to find them? It isn't a matter of us knowing their names and just not having figured out where they are, you know.
Good idea, but, IIRC, the Supreme Court has already ruled that we must educate younger illegal aliens.
Also, states (like CA) give aid without checking federal immigration status.
