After securing the borders, what do you propose that we do with the 12 million illegal aliens presently living and working in this country?
With strict workplace enforcement, they will be out of work.
When we cut off the Federal handouts, they’ll self deport.
Hopefully they’ll go home and make some much needed changes in their own governments.

Well, it will take more than just “securing the borders.” There are only 2,000 ICE agents vs. probably at least 20 million illegals, so an increase to about 10,000 ICE agents would be an improvement, plus effective employment enforcement.
After those are truly under control, we still should not offer an amnesty like the one proposed in the senate this year, with no background checks, allowing gang members to apply for citizenship. Also, illegals who are are taking more than they are contributing should go home.
What about illegals who have used legal residents’ SS numbers? Would you kick them out?
Keep them illegal, crack down on illegal employment, deport those arrested, cut off benefits, and count on attrition.
Offer anyone who leaves voluntarily the chance to apply to return legally in the future.
After that, anyone caught will be fingerprinted and NEVER allowed to enter the country again.
Enforce the law, tax the remittances, jail those using false papers.
They’ll leave.
Did you have some other idea?
