Agree, but there is no political will to do so. The pro-amnesty crowd compares rounding them up to the Holocaust. If we make conditions as unwelcoming as possible, most will go home on their own accord. Shut off the job magnet, increase enforcement of our existing laws, secure the border, and have a system to track and deport visa overstays, and most will go home. We already deport hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens a year now. Deportation is and should be a viable tool.
It is also worth remembering that 60% of all green cards handed out each year are from a change in status. The illegal alien population will dry up if we do the right things. It is not a static population.
“The pro-amnesty crowd compares rounding them up to the Holocaust.”
Yes, I know they do.
My question again is, so what?
Tennessee farm country loves them. Even though we are not officially a sanctuary state, our law enforcement won’t touch them and our local farm organizations push to keep them here. It’s sickening. They break into houses and steal anything not nailed down but the law looks the other way. I want them all gone.
