We should deport when an illegal comes to light. I would never favor a police task force running around investigating Americans. However, those who come to light by virtue of employment or any other misstep on their part should be sent back to their country of origin.
It is not fair that an illegal should butt in line ahead of an immigrant who is trying to do things legal, be on our immigration lists, and show a willingness to go through out process and learn about our country.
Don’t tell me that illegals have kids, either. Don’t LEGAL immigrants have kids? What is right about hurting the legals’s kids and rewarding the illegals’ kids? NOTHING. And it encourages even more illegal immigration.
I agree we should deport illegal immigrants.
I said as much in my previous post.
The question is how do you find them illegals!
We can’t count on the police to find them.
May be 1% will be stopped for a traffic violation
or other suspicious activity. Police are not present
on every street corner. Police can’t even find the
10 most wanted on FBI list. How the heck will they
find 15 million illegals?
So...the best method would be to pass laws making it
against the law to hire illegals. This will require
setting up a vast database of legal US citizens and
legal residents on green cards. Or, the law can place
the burden on employers to determine who is illegal.
Does not sound like a practical approach. Look at he
fiasco on signing up for Obamacare after spending over
a Billion dollars just to set up the web sites.
The only PRACTICAL approach I see is issue work permits
to those who wish to come forward and apply. Those can
be processed for criminal background checks. I believe
this infrastructure is already in place. Employers can
then fire anyone without a work permit.
This automatically weeds out those who choose to remain
in the shadows or have criminal records. It becomes easier
for law enforcement to differtiate those who should be
deported immediately.
