How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico

I Like Ike.

The Fiscal Cost of Low-Skill Immigrants to the U.S. Taxpayer

"Reform" must conform to the following principles:

Anyone who enters this country illegally must be forever barred from legal residency, let alone citizenship.
The right to obtain legal residency in the US must be fairly rationed among all the world's nations, and must not favor those who happen to have the geographic advantage of having their native country located near the US. Residency must be granted based on a variety of factors, with self-sufficiency, useful talents and/or knowledge, and other economic benefits to the US taking precedence over other considerations. Race (as opposed to nationality) should NOT be one of the factors considered, in any way at all.
Taxpayers must not be responsibile for paying the bills of immigrants they cannot afford to pay themselves. The rate of new immigrants must be controlled so as to not overwhelm the capacity of our infrastructure to absorb the increased population pressures.
Those born to parents neither of whom are US citizens must not automatically become US citizens.
English must be mastered before citizenship is granted. Legal residency should require either mastery of English, or yearly enrollment in a semester-long course in English as a second language.
And last, but not least: No reform is permissible until we prove we can a) remove the illegals who are here, and b) prevent new illegals from arriving.

From Ike can do to Bush Friends can't do. The downfall of the GOP becomes more clear every day. Fire the man and eliminate the Department of Homeland Security. It is not needed, it is dysfunctional, it's a created department to reward bush political friends, and it hinders actual professional management and accountability of the agencies having the misfortune of being under it's control.

Let the ones who worked up through rank and file in our critical national agencies do their job and eliminate Political Correctness in our government. If this man thinks the government can not repel intruders then why is this man in an office responsible for National Security? It's time for a GOP revolt against the liberals who have taken over.

Time for a new tagline: Proud Partisan Constitution Supporting Conservative to which I make no apologies for nor back down.
