So far? Nobody.
But it's a long way to the primaries.
"and what is your ideas for solving the illegals presently here?"
First, beef up border security by following Duncan Hunter's idea of having multiple contractors building the fence in simultaneous segments. But shorten Hunter's time frame of 6 months, down to 3 months. Reinforce the border patrol with 20,000 troops with shoot-to-kill orders.
Then find them all -- start looking where they are concentrated, eg. corporate agriculture, construction, food processing plants, restaurant and hotel chains. Make the biggest raids first, then follow with sweeps of smaller businesses, street corner casual labor sites, etc.
Arrest them all, including their supervisors, employers and corporate officers. Charge them with every violation for which a strong case can be made -- immigration, labor, tax, etc. Impose gigantic fines on those businesses, fines that cut deeply and painfully into profits. Let these corporate officers plea bargain, but only for reduced sentences (they will all serve time) and reduced fines (still painful but not insignificant).
Immediately process and deport all arrested illegals. If Mexico and other countries of origin won't accept them, then shoot them, load the bodies onto catapaults at the Rio Grande and air-drop them into Mexico.
Those illegals who turn themselves in will be given consideration for re-location to whatever country will accept them, starting with their countries of origin. If no such country is found, they can survive if they accept imprisonment at hard labor. Otherwise, they will die.
These policies will apply to all illegals without respect to age, sex or special pleadings of any kind.
LOL! I have advocated a death penalty for illegal aliens, myself. Give them till Jan 1,2008 to get their asses out of the country and arrest and prosecute those remaining. I also like the shoot to kill on the border, but I would offer a bounty on their heads so average citizens can pick up some extra cash.lol! I also would change the terminology from illegal alien to foreign invaders. and assume that everyone crossing illegally is a potential terrorist.
However, no presidential candidate could ever endorse these plans because a few people might consider this too extreme!!lol!!
I do think that building the fence would be an excellent place to start. Right now, anyone being deported can turn right around and come straight back across the border. They have nothing to lose but their life. That is why I suggest that their lives be put on the line.
Oh and BTW, You forgot to mention along with gender and age, sexual orientation! We wouldn’t want to discriminate against gays, would we?
