1) Enforce, and I mean, REALLY enforce E-Verify. Make an example of the first few employers who violate it by giving them long stretches at Leavenworth. The rest will quickly get the hint.
2) Build the damned wall!
3) Once the wall is up, announce that you will be making available a limited amount of Green Cards each year for citizens of Mexico, but that they can ONLY be applied for in-person at the US Embassy in Mexico City.
They’ll start self-deporting quicker than you can say guacamole.
And anybody caught hiring them gets to pay for the deportation and gets to pay a nice fine...to the local police dept.
To solve our immigration crisis U.S. should adopt the Mexican immigration laws, probably the most draconian in the world.
Mexico’s Ideal Immigration Law—Let’s try it here at home
Center for Security
Policy ^ | April 13, 2006 | J. Michael Waller
Mexico has a radical idea for a rational immigration policy that most Americans would love. However, Mexican officials haven’t been sharing that idea with us as they press for our Congress to adopt the McCain-Kennedy immigration reform bill.
That’s too bad, because Mexico, which annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles the immigration issue. At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with foreign legal norms, it’s noteworthy that nobody has argued that the US look at
how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve our illegal immigration problem.
Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are: in the country legally; have the means to sustain themselves economically; not destined to be burdens on society; of economic and social benefit to society; of good character and have no criminal records; and contributors to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also ensures that: immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor foreign visitors do not violate their visa status; foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics; foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported; foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported; those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.
Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense.
The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens – and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, illegal and illegal. Under the constitution, the Ley General de Población, or General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.
It is an interesting law – and one that should cause us all to ask, Why is our great southern neighbor pushing us to water down our own immigration laws and policies, when its own immigration restrictions are the toughest on the continent?
If the United States adopted the law, Mexico no doubt would denounce it as a manifestation of American racism and bigotry.
We looked at the immigration provisions of the Mexican constitution. Now let’s look at Mexico’s main immigration law.
Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society: Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)
Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)
Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national
interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)
The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)
Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country: Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86) A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).
Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:
Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)
Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article116)
Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned:
Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)
Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121).
Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico – such as working with out a permit – can also be imprisoned.
Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says, “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)
Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article125)
Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty
or security” will be deported. (Article 126)
Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:
A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the countryis subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
All of the above runs contrary to what Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico’s immigration practices versus its American immigration is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States.
Let’s call Mexico’s bluff on its unwarranted interference in U.S. immigration policy. Let’s propose, just to make a point, that the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) member nations standardize their immigration laws by using Mexico’s own law as a model.
—yep—as I have commented before, the CEO of a company knowingly hiring illegals should go to jail about the same time as the company goes bankrupt from the fines assessed for the same offense—
If they overstay I would impose a tax to leave. I was in Afghanistan with an expired visa (6 months) and it cost me $10K to leave under penalty of being imprisoned; I paid the penalty and left. Some of these bastards have been here for years.
4) Stop all Federal taxpayer funded benefits & services to ALL ILLEGALS.
This will be the major catalyst to self-deportation.
Make an example and they’ll leave quicker than you can say, ‘Megan Kelly? Jorge Ramos?’
Trump can see a problem and go after it. The newsmedia is an obstacle to a non liberal getting elected —to any office
Fixing that
Trump can do anything he wants to do if it’s possible and wthin certain reason
People don’t know what kind of opposition he won over in lNY in renovations and huge gaudy buildings
The real question is, ‘can twenty million illegals cross the border and move in? Make demands on this country? Move to the front of the line in a majority of situations? Get drivers licenses? Commit multiple heinous crimes and stay here? Can the word, ‘deportation’ become obsolete and politically incorrect?’
That is what seems impossible in a normal view, in a law abiding world
So, yes, since it’s possible and normal, he can certainly do it
Does that mean he would make a good president? I don’t know

Project: A nearly two-mile-long, 26-foot-high wall was constructed to block the deadly surge from Lake Borgne that ravaged the Lower 9th Ward and parts of eastern New Orleans. Two gates used for barges and fishing boats are open unless a storm threatens. The barrier, which cost $1.1 billion, is the largest design-build civil works project in the history of the Army Corps of Engineers.
How Much Does Illegal Immigration Cost You?
http://amac.us/illegal-immigration-cost/
The costs of keeping illegals here in the USA, FAR exceeds the cost of a 1900 mile long WALL. If the Chinese could build a wall 13,170 miles long in 500 B.C., how is it that we cannot build one on the USA/Mexico border today? Lack of will? Lack of money? Lack of technology? NO! Greed, power, and politics are the root cause for NO WALL.
If they can do this complex wall in New Orleans, they can build a wall along the Mexican border. I would say the wall is not only feasible but far less expensive than the naysayers predict.
Your first proposal is a MUST. E-Verify is being blocked by the CoC. Send them (CoC bigwigs) all to jail and then any employer who violates the law. And yes, this will force the “undocumenteds” to go home.
Your 3rd proposal is one I haven’t heard of before but I like it a lot.
4) End benefits to illegal aliens. No welfare, no government school, no in-state tuition, no driver licences, no free medical care.
Provide bus transportation to the border towns from larger cities in land
The biggest unspoken issue is the drug trafficking. A uug wall makes the repeated trips more difficult. As T pointed out many of the gangs are connected to drug cartels
(including the one that controlled the community that 0 organized. Jesse Robinson Jackson half brother who is also related to MO is doing life for his involvement with that gang. MO wore gang colors to inaugural events. Now do you understand why 0 kept the borders open)
Whether or not to use E-Verify is a matter left to the states. It's interesting to note that the two states with the largest illegal population, Texas and California, are two states that do NOT require E-Verify be used.

Brilliant. Very good idea.

*******************************
I think this will start happening if Trump is merely elected. Once he actually starts enforcing the laws & taking the steps he’s outlined, it will probably turn into a stampede.
Trump already said he’d bring the majority back in, on an expedited basis, as legals—that is, with amnesty.
From what I can see, the longest penalties under E-Verify, for established patterns of abuse - not an individual employee - we’re talking dozens or hundreds - is six months in prison.
