How you going to find them?
Listen up, if the American people could find and kill the last passenger pigeon, they can root out illegals. How was it done? A bounty system extirpated that bird as a threat to crops. Put price on all illegals turned in along with heavy penalties for false arrest and detainment or any act of unnecessary cruelty. Put up a web page teaching the proper procedures with links to the applicable statutes.
It would happen so fast that there would be traffic jams at the border crossings.
I can find them if ICE can’t. They should hire me if they are that stupid. They are everywhere and they are not in the shadows, either.
Why do I need to actively seek them out?
You give them 90 days to get their affairs in order and then be out of the country. After that if you’re here illegally, you are charged with an “A” felony. and deported. Prohibited from returning...ever. If you do return and are caught here illegally again, you’re eligible for the federal death penalty.
As for applying for resident alien status, they can get in line like everyone else. It’s not a hard concept. I fail to see why these trespassers should be given some special dispensation for their crimes. I don’t care that they have paid taxes using a stolen SSN or anything else. They are here ILLEGALLY and are not eligible to work here anyways so screw them.
They need to GO HOME and if they want to come here, the first thing they can do as prospective citizens, is follow the law. Not have their first act as prospective citizens be breaking the law by illegally entering the country.
