1. Close the southern border. Seriously, close it.
2. Cut off all benefits to illegals.
3. Make it a felony, with a 5 year sentence, to hire illegals and prosecute. Offer a $1,000 reward for turning in employers.
Do those 3 things, and the illegals will all self-deport within 6 months.
I agree. Make them self deport by taking away the freebies and making it illegal to hire the non-taxpayer illegals who suck up the most benefits
Whatever the level, felony (1-5th degree), misdemeanor (1-4), etc., the jail time should be mandatory with no parole.
Fines are looked upon as a cost of doing business, but having served time, even just 30 days in the slammer - Oh dear, whatever will the people at the country club think? The Social Horror!
Love number 3. Add to that a $250,000 fine for every business with 100 employees or less, say $1 million fine for larger companies.
