This is a doable plan. Arizona and Alabama have robust programs that have borne fruit. All we need to do is to start enforcing our existing laws.
And how likely is it that a plan like that could be effected when we cant even keep illegals out now.
It is called attrition thru enforcement. It works. All you have to do is make life as miserable as you can for illegal aliens. No jobs, no benefits, and close cooperation between federal and local law enforcement to check immigration status on normal police stops.
Did you know that 11 states filed amicus curiae briefs joining with the USG opposing AZ SB 1070 at the Supreme Court? NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA, CONNECTICUT, HAWAII, ILLINOIS, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, OREGON, RHODE ISLAND, AND VERMONT are on this roll of shame. And what was one of the reasons they sided with the USG? One of the reasons cited by these states to oppose SB 1070 is that the illegal aliens will self-deport from states, which adopt Arizona-type laws, and go into states that offer sanctuary like the 11 mentioned. My only comment is Duh!! Attrition thru enforcement works.
And finally, the Chutzpah award goes to the government of Mexico, which filed a brief opposing SB 1070 that was joined by sixteen other Latin American countries. I guess they like the current system where millions of their citizens invade the United States and send billions of dollars back to their home countries. In the believe or not category, nine state legislators from the Mexican state of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about the 2007 Arizona law, upheld by the Supreme Court last year, requiring employers to use E-verify. The problem: Too many Mexicans were returning home placing an unacceptable burden on local social services. They couldnt handle the demand for housing, jobs, and schools. Again, attrition thru enforcement works. Since when do foreign governments believe that they can interfere in our internal affairs by filing amicus curiae briefs on Supreme Court cases?
What part of my plan don't you think is not doable? Parts of it are already in place and working like Secure Communities and 287 g. SCOTUS upheld the 2007 AZ law mandating E-verify for businesses. This is not pie in the sky stuff. Elinimating birthright citizenship would require the passage of legislation. Bills have already been drafted and have sponsors.
According to the LA Times there is a report claiming that border crossing are netting zero.
