Yes, I do buy into that concept.
I would cut off all legal immigration for twenty years.
During that time I would do a serious review of those who have recently entered our nation, and make damned sure to put emphasis on any terrorist types from the Middle-East or Central & South America.
There would be some deportations in upcoming years.
I think you make quite a bit of sense...I totally agree with you 100%. Well said ..~Pandy~
That's a target against the WRONG group and a blanket policy like that against the lawful would never be considered by the public.
But as long as we're throwing out ideas that'll never get done, I'd expect the government issue citizens SS cards with biometric data backed by the same source document review you'd have applying for a US passport - yet, ass backwards as it be, the government wants to issue ID's to illegal aliens, another cost you and I would bear inflicted by aliens. So some in the government's proposal is to ID every potential alien in the world and avoid the only right, sane method of ID. CITIZEN ONLY.
I'd welcome the policy that says "Mom, Dad not a legal citizen? sorry kid, unless one parent is here legally, apply for citizenship when you're 18." Issue the parents a proviso notice or a conditional birth certification for the child's future use giving him/her citizenship applicant preference and ship them all out.
Next thing to do - dismantle and outlaw the subversive group, ACLU, La Raza, CAIR, etc. and allow states suspend or rescind the licenses of its practicing attorneys associated with such groups. By doing that, there'd be less challenges to ID'ing "persons of interest" and the lawful inquiries into legal status. Also, remove any/all challenges to deportation order executions - challenges may be done from the alien's home country and paid for by the challenger, it's one reason why we have DIPLOMATS.
We need to make it unlawful for anyone to accept ID's issued by foreign entities from within the US. Unless a legal entry was made through a designated point of entry, properly stamped or marked by US Customs with the date/time of entry and found in Custom's database, that foreign ID ought be voided and confiscated. Banks bearing "FDIC" ought be forced to comply with those ID requirements or face operational suspension for noncompliance.
America, then, needs rethink its obligations in "entitlements". IMO, except for those of disability status, persons of civilian status and under retirement age who've never worked twenty consecutive quarters without arrest and conviction of a crime ought not be "entitled" to anything. I'd also like to see obesity removed as being labeled a disability that places one on taxpayer care unless they're willing that doctors employ a USDA approved program to downsize them. To remain on disability, the obese ought have to show at least a 2% weight reduction per quarter, with benefits reduced commensurate with their failure to comply with reduction goals.
Getting Americans back to doing jobs Americans have grown too lazy to do needs be a priority, and quitting paying them for not doing those jobs is paramount.
