They Will Deport Themselves

They Will
Deport Themselves

A border patrol officer frisks a Mexican illegal immigrant intercepted at night
in the desert near Naco, Arizona, while his companions look on in the background.


Every time an illegal alien sets foot in America he or she is a knowing burglar, breaking and entering across our borders, violating our laws. They are also squatters, attempting to colonize our land and our nation. Every moment of their presence in our country is an ongoing criminal act.

It is also illegal for a them to work here, so every cent these alien invaders take is done so illegally… as is ever dollar of unearned subsides they're able to defraud from American taxpayers.

Thus, all of the proceeds of the illegals' inhabitation of the United States are the ill-gotten gains of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

As such, they ought to be treated like the proceeds of any other criminal enterprise, from fraud to theft to drug dealing to racketeering…

The assets of illegal aliens should be subject to total forfeiture.

They are criminals, there is no moral reason why not. Therefore, a solution to much of our nation's problems with these international burglars resolves into focus…


Amnesty for illegal aliens was tried in 1986, with a bipartisan bill that was signed into law by President Reagan. 2.7 million illegals were able to get green cards in a one-time only program. That amnesty would only happen once was an integral part of the bargain the federal government struck with the American people, who have always opposed illegal immigration by large margins. The other part of the bargain was a promise of effective law enforcement against future illegals.

The craven betrayal of this promise to the American people is bipartisan. Presidents Reagan, Bush the Elder, and Clinton all ignored the problem of illegals, as did both parties in Congress with the lone exception of the Republicans in 1996. Key to this failure has been the unwillingness of the federal government to deport illegals, as the law provides, in large numbers from the interior of our country.

Without deportation, there will be no solution to illegal immigration.

Now that the cancer of illegals has metastasized to 12 million and growing, many of these same politicians suggest that the solution to their malfeasance of duty is some new form of amnesty… "Nevermind the earlier deal with the American people, the problem is now too big for our laws to solve, we must Surrender."

Their condescending gall is like that of death row lawyers who run out of appeals, and then suggest that execution after 15 years is cruel and unusual punishment. Any unpleasantness resulting from the delay is entirely the onus of our elected officials to bear. The American people never wanted their laws not to be enforced.

Even the current White House of President George W. Bush is sending such signals with their periodic trial balloons about "normalizing undocumented workers" and "making their work legal."

This is as much as saying…

"Because we broke our promise to enforce the law against illegal aliens, we have no choice to break our promise that amnesty would happen only once."

Bunk.


We are told incessantly by these same spineless, duplicitous politicians from both parties how the problem of illegal immigration is intractable… Much as many of those same cowards once described the problem of terrorism. Winning changes things, doesn't it?

It's time to fight and win the battle against the illegal invaders, all 12 million-plus of them. We don't need to round them all up; we simply enact the appropriate and fully Constitutional legislation, and serve the aliens notice:

"Be gone in 90 days. If you aren't, all of the proceeds of your criminal presence in the United States will be subject to total asset forfeiture."

This will be the disincentive to their ongoing invasion.

On this printout of intercepted illegals, one immigrant has left a message
for the border patrol. In this game of cat and mouse,
people are repeatedly caught and returned to Mexico.

Some will leave, and some won't. After 90 days, we round up a few hundred thousand of them. That should be enough time to hire the manpower to process the invaders. Then we take all they own within our borders, recycle it into INS coffers, and send them swiftly back to their own countries, whether China, Mexico, Ireland, or wherever, with no profit for their illegal efforts.

The other 12 million illegals will take heed. Step aside, and watch the stampede.

It will only get easier… if only we start.

It's gone beyond a joke here...

What would you do about the fact that this would shut down the construction industry, highway repair, and agriculture, as well as hotels and restaurants all over the country?

Why don't you ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans that have lost their jobs since 9/11?

AMEN Billy_bob_bob

Supporters of immigration reform should follow the lead in the Tyson case and sue all companys who hire illegals in Federal court for violation of RICO and bring a class action suit for driving down American wages!

Actually, the way you want to use this appeals to me. As your statement is accurate, paying assets siezed as commissions to the INS and Border Patrol agents directly would motivate them to enforce the law regardless of the recalcitrance of their superiors. You've got something here.

Hmmmm... How about a similar (but higher) bounty put on politically correct recalcitrant superiors? Just bring in the head or hide for verification...

But don't limit it to INS and Border Patrol agents, let the citizenry at large participate as well. With the right promotional efforts you could just about turn it into a sort of Reality TV game show.

Oh -- and don't let the secret out that I'm a shameless shill for Vanna White. I figure if I get her a better gig than flipping letters on Wheel of Fortune she might just go out on a date with me...

That or I watched The Running Man a few too many times and should not be drinking straight Barabados rum this late at night.

We do need to end the practice of anchor babies.

Would there be any constitutional problem with a statute stating that illegal aliens who give birth in this country should be deported and never allowed to return except under very narrow circumstances? The children would be citizens per Amendment 14 (whether or not that was the intention, it certainly reads that way) but any time they wish to spend with their parents would have to be outside the country.

Sounds legal [sure]. Sound politically feasible [not in a million years].

How many employers of a Burger King would even contemplate hiring an illegal if their franchise was taken if so much as one illegal was found working there?

That would put employers in fear of hiring anyone with an accent. If the employer made a good faith effort to determine the empoyee's status and the "papers" are in order, no foul. If the employer knowingly hires illegals, take his business.

Things would work out. If you do the right thing, things always work out.
