What potential GOP Presidential hopeful has a plan to round up illegals and ship them back? I’m curious, I’d like to read their proposal.
Sadly, most avoid this like they avoid Social Security insolvency.
But, the fact of the matter is you don't have to "round up" anyone. You just need to pass legislation making it a crime, or a significant civil fine, for hiring illegal aliens - one alien or one thousand aliens. Once that's passed, and vigorously enforced, the illegals will return home.
You would also pass legislation that would demand that local law enforcement verify the citizenship of people it arrests, and compel them to turn those arrested - for whatever reason - to ICE for immediate deportation.
We have too many politicians who describe themselves as conservative who won't take the tough stand on immigration for fear of losing another minority group. If amnesty - in any form - passes, Republicans will be out of power for generations to come.
