Never heard Trump say anything about deporting American citizens. He did say that he’d deport the illegal parents of anchor babies, and that he’d try to keep the families together (the babies leave US with parents), but he did not say he would prevent anchor babies from remaining in the US if they had some situation which allowed that.
O’Reilly just being his typical blowhard self.
1. Build the fence.
2. Enforce e-verify and perfect a visa overstay trackdown program.
3. Calculate the court costs of the average deportation case. Offer half that amount (plus travel costs) to illegals willing to self-deport AND renounce their anchor babies’ U.S. citizenship “birthright.” Be sure to get DNA samples. Offer those who self-deport a spot at the front of the line to reenter legally (still gotta get rid of the anchor baby interpretation). Prohibit legal reentry for anyone deported by legal process.
4. Offer illegals who don’t have an anchor baby a slightly smaller sum for self-deporting.
5. No grants for convicted felons and no reentry.
Maybe you pay out the grants in 3 and 4 above in two portions: 30% at the border, the remaining 70% over 10 years (so payments could be forfeited upon another illegal entry). Include a repudiation of any claim to SS benefits on illegally earned wages.
Does anyone doubt this system would save tax dollars? Incentives work better than restrictions. Maybe some of those illegals would take principles they were exposed to in America back to Mexico with them and form the foundation of a peaceful revolution.
