He needs to change it to a ban on all immigration, as was done for forty years, until a certain criteria has been met. That criteria should consist of:
- the national debt being significantly reduced
- the REAL unemployment rate reaching an acceptable level
- the current crop of legal immigrants must be satisfactorily assimilated
- the illegals in the country must be summarily dealt with
- a very thorough and highly secure screening process for any new, legal immigration must be in place
If he halts all immigration, nobody can scream discrimination - there is no real way of screening out muslims....they have been known to avoid telling the truth.
I couldn’t agree more. We desperately need a break from immigration, legal and illegal.
Nice. Bump.
I like that plan. I believe we need to get our house in order before inviting the neighbors over.
We have been approaching immigration as what is best for select businesses and for those that wish to come here. It really needs to center on what is best for our country and we the people.
Some businesses have really profited from having a never ending supply of cheap labor, modern slaves is what I call it. I read an article the other day about a company that is being fined big money for hiring illegals even though others do it on a massive scale and are never bothered. There is something truly wrong with that, especially now that our borders are essentially open and our current leadership supports illegal immigration. I suspect illegal immigration is big money for our politicians that support it, it seems businesses that don’t pay up are targeted. That approach is pure corruption and should not be tolerated.
As to legal immigration, companies have been taking advantage of this too, claiming there are no citizens for jobs so they can get foreign workers. Tech companies are bad about this, but it is spreading out to other businesses- even to Disney for example.
I would support a ban on all illegal immigrants no matter where they are from, and make the penalties on the illegal and those that hire them so stiff that it will end. I would ban all legal immigrants that want to come here to work unless and until it can be proven that they are needed in this country.
The only immigration I would support during the ban is if people marry someone from another country that person should be able to immigrate, and if there are other really exceptional reasons on a case by case basis.
