“In a letter to Sen. William Fulbright, Eisenhower quoted a report in The New York Times that said, “The rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican ‘wetbacks’ (rooted from the watery route taken by the Mexican immigrants across the Rio Grande) to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal Government.”
Rush Limbaugh’s solution. Let’s begin with trying to deport 3% of the 12 m illegals and see how that works. It would create an environment for the rest to panic and leave. Nearly 1/2 of all illegals are individuals who have overstayed their visas and have no plans of returning back- mostly South Asians and Middle-Easterners.
Preachin’ to the choir.
Lets’s tell this to McPain and Gramnesty!
She's a crook. RICO kickbacks.
It’s very simple: remove the economic incentive. No welfare or access to public services. US citizens only. Done.
Enforce the law against illegal immigrant and the employer, but save the bullets for the race card bullies. First Marxist bully to try and pull the race card gets a lead injection via a high speed delivery vehicle.
Ike had the transfer many of the senior border patrol managers to the East Coast as they were part of the problem.
I beleive the figure for Illegals to be closer to 35 million, not the 15 to 20 often quoted.
Illegal immigration is one of the leading causes in the destruction of America.
In fact it would be damned easy! Arrest illegals and throw them out of the country. Put armed forces on the border with shoot to kill orders. Imprison any US employer who has illegal workers. And CUT OFF THE FREEBIES—from medical care and welfare to instant citizenship for babies. Problem solved.
I suspect that if the government doesn't do something, desperate people are going to start doing it for themselves.
stand on the border with a machine gun and anyone who crosses shoot them and immigration would be solved
Secure ID Act -
All US Citizens will have to obtain a Secure Picture ID. Every Citizen is uniquely identified.
Every Visitor to the US is fingerprinted, photographed and issued a temporary ID.
Unless a business owner/self employed person can positively ID a person with one of these 2 IDs, they will face 10 years in prison for hiring anyone to work for them without being IDed..
The illegal aliens will go home.
Why don’t we just bump unemployment up to a U3 equal to 17% for a year or two or three. Oh, we’d have to stop illegal’s entitlements at the same time to make it work.
It has always been about, and only about, the will of the government to do their job.
But this corrupt government doesn’t want to do its job, because nothing would serve the needs of the lifelong political class more than 12 to 20 million freshly minted US citizens, largely illiterate and begging for handouts.
Every time an illegal drunk driver or an MS13 gangbanger kills an American citizen, the blood is on the hands of Pelosi, Reed, Ghamnesty, and Juan McCain, et al.
Every time an illegal alien takes a job that could be done by a citizen, it is a failure of this government to serve the People.
The multibillion dollar people smuggling, document forgery, and identity theft industries are the direct result of this government failing to do its job in managing the borders and enforcing immigration laws.
We don’t have to deport them all. Just make it impossible to get a job while illegal. They’ll leave on their own.
This is a little off the main subject, but why does Canada have a longer life expectancy than the USA (as the obamacare followers keep chanting)? I suspect one reason is that Canada does not have 10s of millions of illegal aliens and chain migrants from countries that have lower life expectancies than either the USA or Canada. If I am correct about that, even if congress were to pass a Republican version of healthcare reform (tort reform, insurance available across state lines, etc.), if illegals (and legal aliens via chain migration), the USA life expectancy will still be lower, and the Dems will say we need to spend more money.
Yes, part of our problem is native born couch potatoes, but I think the medical condition of many illegal and legal aliens does affect these numbers.
Set up internment camps to process the deportation papers, then start rounding them up and shipping them off.
If Eisenhower could do it in the 50s with Operation Wetback, then we can certainly do it now.
I propose Operation Wetback II.
Look to Milton
Open borders and the welfare state.
A decade ago, Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman admonished the Wall Street Journal for its idée fixe on open-border immigration policy. “It’s just obvious you can’t have free immigration and a welfare state,” he warned. This remark adds insight to the current debate over immigration in the U.S. Senate.

Arizona taxpayers owed $1 billion from illegal immigration
http://www.kvoa.com/news/arizona-taxpayers-owed-1-billion-from-illegal-immigration/
The cost of illegal immigration has exhausted the Arizona State Treasury. In order to pay for the federal government’s responsibility of securing our national borders and incarcerating individuals who enter the United States illegally and commit crimes, the state has incurred hundreds of millions of dollars of debt to pay these bills,” said Treasurer Dean Martin.
