$10k fine per illegal for employers. That would go a long way towards solving the problem.
Post your demand list here for 2008 Republican presidential hopefuls.
What? And cut into El Presidente Vicente Fox's weekly take? Nevah happen.
And everybody knows what is done when someone commits a crime.

What? Look the other way?
Only count US citizens with a permanent US address during a census.
>We have room for but one language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is a loyalty to the American people<
Well, our one sole loyalty should be for our
Constitution and for our Bill of Rights. (It is time our politicians realized that, right?)
Must haves.
Whatever they do after that, I can live with.
Win the War
Confirm the Judges
Drill ANWR
Cut the Taxes
Control Spending
Secure the Boarder
NO MORE ANCHOR BABIES!!
NO MORE FREE PUBLIC SERVICES FOR ILLEGALS!
IF there is a guest worker program, employers MUST pay any associated costs.
You obviously didn't read the article. If you did, you would understand the title.
I did read the title and got a good chuckle out of it. You have to admit, it's very telling.
The fact that it is in Newsday is even more telling.
Most people would say post your "wish" list here...but I can see how this is more fitting with one group.
Here is the plan for addressing the illegal immigration problem.
This plan, when implemented, would make illegal entry into the US by aliens considerably more difficult; would gradually remove (mainly by the attrition which would be quickened by law enforcement processes) the bulk of illegal aliens who are already here; and would eliminate the incentive for would-be illegals to try to enter the US in the first place:
1. Build a big fence/wall (with electrified barbed wire on top if necessary). That is, SEAL the border to whatever extent possible with an intimidating man-made barrier wherever there are not natural impediments (such as the desert). Patrol the entire border heavily, especially during the first year or so of this plan's implementation.
2. Crack down BIG TIME on anybody involved in identity theft or fake ID. There must be real jail time in real jail for anybody who is convicted (citizens and illegal aliens alike) of engaging in these activities.
3. Jail employers (and company owners) who knowingly employ illegal aliens. Then fine them good and hard. Make it hurt. Supplemental to this, there must be a readily available procedure for employers to quickly identify legal vs. illegal job applicants.
4. Immediately jail and/or deport any and all illegal aliens who are picked up for any reason, from robberies, to domestic disputes, to routine traffic violations. This would effectively reduce the number of illegals over time by attrition.
5. Repeal citizenship for "anchor babies" and refuse enrollment in government schools to illegal aliens as well as "anchor babies". Arrest and deport as soon as possible (with doctor's clearance) any mother (and father, if known) who is in the US illegally and gives birth to, or seeks hospital care to give birth to, a would-be "anchor baby." (Parents and child would be deported together.)
6. Refuse all governemnt services to illegal aliens. Arrest and immediately deport any illegal alien who attempts to obtain government services. In the case of emergency medical treatment, arrest and deport (as soon as possible with attending doctor's clearance) any illegal alien who receives emergency medical treatment.
7. Make the application process for US citizenship and for "green cards" easily understandable and accessible in order that there is no excuse for foreigners who wish to enter the US for extended periods to claim that "frustration with the system" led them to attempt illegal avenues.
There you have it - - the perfect, sensible plan. As you can see, this plan does not include any provision for "rounding up" illegal aliens for deportation. Rather, illegal aliens would be disposed of primarily through the attrition that would occur through opportunistic arrests and contacts, while at the same time the incentive to enter the United States illegally would be eliminated.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
While our military is used to protect the borders of other countries, their first priority should be to protect this country.
"Got any good suggestions for 2008 candidates?"
Basically, any candidate that:
1. Is against amnesty
2. Will continue to fight the war on terror
3. Is for smaller government and will cut unnecessary programs.
Everything else will work itself out.
"No wiring $ back to Mexico!"
While that cannot be done, I would suggest a 75% tax on all wire transfers out of country.
