Legislation prohibiting the garnering of free medical or educational benefits or Social Security or tax credits or other taxpayer funded entitlements by individuals who have broken U.S.immigration laws is mandatory, as is punitive economic fines for corporate entities who support breaches of law.
Federal funds for municipalities, counties or states who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement activity should be denied, and elected officials who provide “sanctuary services” to illegal aliens should be subject to conspiracy laws.
Build an efficient and operable fence/wall/barrier with height, form and technical sophistication and substance sufficient to reduce most if not all illegal entries throughout the entire Southern boundary, manned by personnel (enforcement and judicial), vehicles, vessels and aircraft, both manned and in UAV configuration to locate breaches of the border, and arrest, detain and return any and all violators to whence they came, AFTER recording their photos, fingerprints, DNA and retinal identification features, with permanent legal exclusion
from entry, attainment of residency or citizenship FOREVER.
Your central point is consistant with my purpose in proposing my Eisenhower-Bush Program.
Bush doesn't have the political will or the desire. His desire is to satisfy his compassion and keep happy economic times.
My plan, with his compasion central, allows the political will to be correctly focused. It takes the initiative away form Congress, something any President on the ropes can see the utility of in their legacy.
It satisfys the need for immediate reform and it truely is gentle reform and not innnovation for innovation's sake.
You and I aren't going to get the Hunter plan. We son't even get it if he gets the nomination or the Presidency.
I am attempting to deal with the issue and deadlock as it stands today and give Bush the ability to "have his way" but in a way that satisfies many conservatives.
Let me ask your review in another way. If step one was being implemented and implemented rigoursely, would you be fighting very hard against step 2 being done in any sort of responsible manner?
