1. Existing Illegals in US problem can be solved by establishing procedure for Illegals to come out of shadow and register, give those about 1 or 2 years to do so. That would give them working permit – visas, say for 3 years and chance to apply for resident status. Will have to pay taxes and keep registering their whereabouts and employment. One time exemption – "resident amnesty" to become Resident Alien (not citizen) for those who entered US before, say 2012, others would have to go back and apply from their home country. This is to avoid influx of fresh illegals. It would be humane to give chance to those who are here for longer time, with families, actively involved in American life and not being criminals. This would be humane gesture and recognition by government for not handling the recording (ID) requirements in the past. Criminals, or those illegally crossing more than once, should be deported and barred from future working permits or resident visas.
Government should set up immigration offices in states, staffed with capable people, set up proper procedures and handle applications efficiently. Expanded Motor Vehicle offices can be used as a base for issuing and tracking ID of all temporary aliens and visitors. You got here – you have to register and notify where you are. Everybody has to have proper ID documents.
Employers should be required to employ only workers with valid legal status or working permit. Otherwise heavy fines and penalties. States to enforce the law. There should be no one in the country that has no proper documentation. No "sanctuary cities"!
2. The situation with illegal immigration was caused by government failure to administer and enforce the proper system, regulations, after President Reagan’s amnesty. Somebody should be responsible and be penalized for failure to properly implement the measures to rectify the situation we are in today, when illegals and criminals can kill innocent people, enter country multiple times and hide in “sanctuary cities”. In the past we have seen government departments being infested by incapable people, cronies of politicians. The result is the horrible inefficiency and problems plaguing our every day’s lives. Waste, mismanagement, cronyism, injustice are causing once great America slide to mediocracy and socialist hell. There is a need for surgery and cleanup of government bureaucracy, bringing in people with business experience and work ethics, and removing the entrenched bureaucrats. Otherwise, there will be no end to decline of this once great country. Cleanup government! No excuses for color, minority, sex orientation for hiring incapable workers.
3. Bring the manufacturing back to US – lower the taxes, bring the bright and capable workers, technicians and engineers. Fix the bureaucracy; establish ID system and ENFORCE IT! Simple system of issuing working permits to foreigners: Is there need for you in US? Have job offered? Show documentation and apply for it, specify period of employment. Government OFFICE verifies it (phone call, email) and if legit, issues the visas and/or working permit. Applicant arrives at the workplace, registers with the OFFICE, works and pays taxes. If needs extension, applies and gets it granted or not. Stays or not.
If there is a need for worker, he can apply for resident status and if demonstrated benefit to US, can apply for citizenship and stay here forever, with family, and contribute to making America Great Again!
Classes of ID, could be combined with driver licenses, all required to register their whereabouts:
A. Visitors – have passports and proper visas, could be issued visitor’s ID card, red color.
B. Temporary workers – issued temporary worker ID card, orange color, showing expiration date.
C. Temporary students – issued temporary student ID card, yellow color, showing expiration date.
D. Permanent residents – (Resident Aliens) issued or having “green cards” ID card, green color, allowing life time residency. No US passport or voting rights.
F. US citizens – issued citizen’s ID card, blue color and US passports if requested, eligible to vote in US elections.
All ID cards have photo, finger print, tracking (Soc. Security) number and personal information allowing quick check of person’s status. Central registry verification available if needed.
4. Establish the laws that are reasonable and ENFORCE them! Now in the computer age, there is no problem of recording and tracking goods and people. If Amazon and Google can track my package at any time, there should be no problem to track people, their whereabouts, employment, legal status. It is time to issue ID cards besides driver licenses for those that do not drive, after verification of their legal status – citizen, resident alien or temporary worker. Have also verification system, where anyone can verify validity of the ID card if necessary and to avoid forged cards. Those who illegally entered the US before 2012 can be issued Permanent Resident status and ID, but NEVER allowed to gain citizenship and voting rights as a “punishment”. Their children, born in US can be eligible for citizenship, if no criminal records. Those who illegally entered the US after 2012, should be required to return to home country and apply for legal ID and undergo proper procedure. Those with criminal record, ISIS affiliation and multiple illegal entries need not apply.
5. Everyone on US soil should have proper ID card according to their status. Only citizens are allowed to vote in US election, no problem with proper ID. Only people with proper ID allowed to hold the job or attend institution and obey the US laws. No ID? No right to stay or live in US, deportation.
I just can’t see why this cannot be implemented. Government screwed up and needs to fix it. Be humane and allow those who are here already (before 2012?) to stay, register, legalize their status HERE within few years, come out of hiding. Cheaper and more practical than trying to catch them all, deport and spend another few years to come back legally. Issue ID cards, register and track whereabouts and status of visitors and temporary workers. Require employers to employ only documented people. After grace period, deport anyone not having proper ID and legalized status.
Border protection, besides expensive wall, can be implemented by simpler barbed wire fences and automated patrolling by electronic surveilance, drones and having border guards stationed close to the popular illegal border crossings. The wall on the border can help, but it is not the SOLUTION to the illegals staying in the US. Tunnels and ladders can help to get around the wall. What is needed is to remove the attraction for people coming into US illegally, staying illegally and working illegally. Today’s technology allows to efficiently issue ID cards and to track them. This will also solve the “racist voter registration problem.” Are you a citizen? Have your citizen’s ID or passport? No problem – you can vote in American elections – one time! Easy to track and put the end to fraudulent ballot stuffing. You don’t have citizen’s ID? You have no right to vote for government to represent or control you. Nothing racist!

Anytime some jackwagon spouts this the response should be, "it's not the immigration system that's broken, it's our LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM that's broken."
Hell no.
Reagan made a deal with Democrats in 1986 in exchange for wall along the border.
3 million illegals were granted amnesty.
So there will be NO MORE AMNESTY!
We were promised a wall and by God we will have it!
My plan is the same, just more wordy:
1. A road along the entire border, navigable by Jeep or similar vehicle, with triple strand concertina wire barriers 100-200 yards on each side monitored frequently for vandalism. That can be done very quickly and will immediately slow the crossings of illegals. We must secure the border so illegals cannot easily enter (or reenter after being deported).
2. At least one additional barrier on our side beyond those double barbed wire obstacles, whether a fence, a wall, or something else physical to prevent unauthorized passage. Plus a barrier on the Mexican side built by Mexico to avoid penalties/retaliation. We must secure the border so illegals cannot easily enter (or reenter after being deported).
3. Pregnant illegals who are not immediately deported should be held outside the United States so their anchor babies will not be US citizens.
4. All illegals who committed the crime of entering our country illegally or of overstaying after legal entry and then committed any other crime while in our country should be deported. No exceptions. Those deported should be permanently barred from any legal reentry or path to citizenship. Any state or local government with a “sanctuary” policy should be barred from receiving federal funds; and illegals who access social services, including schools, should be provided those services as ordered by the courts but also required to be reported to ICE.
5. All illegals who committed the crime of entering our country illegally in the past two years, and thus have not been here long enough to have stronger ties here than at home, should be deported. In other words, no new growth in our illegal population. Those deported should be permanently barred from any legal reentry or path to citizenship. No exceptions.
6. Once those are taken care of, we should deport the remaining illegals (or better, encourage them to go home on their own). Allow those who go home on their own to apply for legal reentry and legal status. Those deported should be permanently barred from any legal reentry or path to citizenship - again, no exceptions. For those who go home on their own, we should take into account in their visa applications any past history of productive work in the United States, English proficiency if they learned our language while here, and any record of living here without using welfare and other social services. This may be a small positive for reentry, but that’s enough of a carrot, combined with the stick of permanent ban on entry if they are deported that many may self-deport.
7. The only way for illegals to gain legal status should be to apply from their home countries for legal entry after voluntarily going home. Note: We also need to fix legal immigration so that the number of immigrants approved by Congress and by the President can obtain visas in a reasonable time to come here, and they can do it from the countries we wish to receive immigrants from, after thorough background checks.
Rewarding criminals for their illegal behavior? No! President Reagan, in one of his few errors, fell for that trick. Never again.
LOL. This is called amnesty. Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here, the object of their crimes, is amnesty. The illegals go to the head of the line.
At any one time, there are 4 million intending immigrants overseas waiting their turn to enter the country, many for years. They have completed all the paperwork, background investigations, physicals, etc. Why should the lawbreakers be allowed to stay? Where is the fairness in this? What happens to the Rule of Law, the very foundation of the Republic?
Forget the vote. Why should they be allowed to stay here?
HNO!!
The only way to do it is like Ike did it in the 50s Operation Wet Back!
Exactly. This is rewarding them for breaking the law.
We cannot do that.
Bad idea.. We want all the illegals gone... E verify status can pass e-verify your an illegal and out you go. Cut off all welfare, Schools, medical, make it a felony to harbor help an illegal and I guarantee they will leave on their own account.. Won’t have to deport any except the criminals.. Where is Devils island when you need it?
Bad idea.
Indentured servitude is basically what you’re proposing.
We’re being humane both to them and to our own people. We’re not threatening their lives or talking about locking them up and throwing away the key.
Is it me or are the “classes” even backwards?
A. Visitors – have passports and proper visas, could be issued visitor’s ID card, red color.
B. Temporary workers – issued temporary worker ID card, orange color, showing expiration date.
C. Temporary students – issued temporary student ID card, yellow color, showing expiration date.
D. Permanent residents – (Resident Aliens) issued or having “green cards” ID card, green color, allowing life time residency. No US passport or voting rights.
F. US citizens – issued citizen’s ID card, blue color and US passports if requested, eligible to vote in US elections.
>Government should set up immigration offices in states, staffed with capable people, set up proper procedures and handle applications efficiently.
Paid for by the “visitors” out of their pay checks. Not by citizen taxes.
One flaw. Illegal aliens file for tax payer ID numbers. Then they get child money. They declare a certain number of children living in their home in Mexico, that they are supporting. It can include, nieces and nephews.
Billions of dollars each year.
Why is this not reported?!!
This should explain your observation...”Yuri Blanarovich was born in Ukraine, grew up in Czechoslovakia, lived in France, Canada and now in nj.”
“1. Existing Illegals in US problem can be solved by establishing procedure for Illegals to come out of shadow and register, give those about 1 or 2 years to do so. That would give them working permit – visas, say for 3 years and chance to apply for resident status. “
No. Get out!
Another idea which isn’t new: NO government benefits of any kind for anyone here who is not a legal US citizen.
No food stamps
No free cash (TANF, et al)
No subsidized child care
No heating assistance
No disability (those criminal aliens who are on disability lose it immediately)
No student loans
etc
A Federal Photo ID Card will do the trick nicely. Tie to everything in life, from school enrollment/applicaitons, banking, phone/auto purchases, utilities, job applications, welfare benefits, travel on rail, air or bus. Everything that requires a SSN or confers a benefit would require the Federal ID Card - it would also have finger print verification, and have a recovery password. You would have to use your fingerprint to validate it for use - every form of database in the US could be compartented for privacy but this alone would sent ‘em home!
Step 1 needs to involve congress drafting legislation ending birthright citizenship for those born to non-citizen parents. No more anchor babies!!!
Why would anyone want to pass along another BAD IDEA to the Trump Team ?
The only way to ever stop illegal immigration is to first stop rewarding it. That means they can retain ZERO BENEFIT from their illegal acts. They ALL need to be rounded up, stripped of all possessions and dumped in the farthest corner of their home country. If they have kids born here, they can stay or go with their parents.
