I'd like to see the specifics of how we're supposed to seal the borders. We can't do it in Iraq where it's needed even worse and we have the whole dang army.
You want specifics? I don't hear any from either side.
Private industry is capable of SEALING the borders in less than 6 months. Tight enough that no human could enter without permission. Just because it hasn't been done, doesn't mean it can't be.
Well... that's just it. No wall is going to work completely, and whatever weakness there is will be the way they flood through. The only way to make any "sealing" work is to make it difficult for them to move freely around once they get here. Checkpoints at state lines, random "show your papers" stops. Make everybody carry a passport all the time, else risk being deported.
That would work, and I'd prefer not to live like that.
Bush has blown it big time on illegals immigration, I don't trust him at all anymore, counting the days until the globalist, anti American Bush is gone. Unfortunately he's gone another 3 years to back stabe and sell out the usa to the highest bidder.
The truth is Bush could fix the problem with no new laws and almost no additional spending.
It is against the law to employ or harbor an illegal alien. It is against the law to conspire to break a federal law. The RICO law allows the government to not only arrest the owners, board of directors and the executives of an organization that consistently breaks federal law, but to confiscate their personal assets as well. Enforce the law.
Had the feds confiscated the assets of Tyson, Inc., and WalMart, as well as the personal assets of their Boards and their top executives, no company would be hiring the criminals today. Making examples of a couple of companies would eliminate the attraction of jobs.
It is also illegal for criminal aliens to get any welfare, food stamps, etc. The only handouts they are allowed to get are emergency medical care and schooling. Cut off every other hand out.
The medical care and schooling can be curtailed by requiring schools and medical facilities to report it every time they give service to a criminal alien. Neither the law, nor the Supreme Court ruling, that mandated free schooling for the criminals’ kids forbids that. (Lower courts have said it does, but Supremes have never ruled that way.)
Eliminate the jobs and you eliminate about half the problem. Eliminate the handouts and you eliminate the rest of the problem. Do these things, and the flood wouldn’t be the criminals coming into the country, it would be them stampeding back to where they belong.
All this requires is that the administration enforce the laws already on the books.
