I agree with your basic view. But I have been thinking about the massive task of rounding up and deporting the millions of illegals who are convicted criminals, gang members, welfare and tax cheats, and otherwise especially troublesome. To get rid of just 365,000 of them would require apprehending them, bringing them before an immigration court, transporting them to somewhere outside the US where they can’t come right back — all at a rate of 1,000 per day every day of the year. It would take 4 years at this unrealistic pace just to deport the worst of the illegals. The hard core will not leave willingly, and it will be increasingly harder to keep up the required numbers.
In practical terms, the young ones on a school or work track do less harm, and deporting them generates sob stories for the propagandists. Smarter to focus efforts on the nastier, unsympathetic, criminal element at first.
Trump should strike a bargain with these Senatorial hand-wringers. So long as they give full-scale legislative support and funding for his efforts against criminals, gang members, etc., to secure the borders, and stop the intake of Muslim “refugees”, he will not go after their little dreamers.
Cut them off from jobs and benefits and they will leave on their own.
E-verify every job.
No valid SS#, no job.
No benefits without proof of citizenship.
No choice but to leave.
Let them know under the law if we have to deport them, it is a 10 year ban before they can apply for entry the right way, the way EVERY REAL immigrant has done it.
so what’s the big deal? many 1000’s of people are arrested every day in this country- they go through the courts- and eventually face their due-
illegal immigrants are costing this country between $400 BILLION and $600 BILLION dollars every single year- the cost of rounding them up and deporting them won’t be anywhere near that, and once they are gone, they are no longer a financial burden on this country- Nearly 3/4’s of immigrants are on some form of government welfare/’relief’- many to the tune of nearly $45,000 dollars a year as they soak our government and citizens for every last cent they can get-
This is a huge huge problem that is draining our finances- some organizations even estimate it may be even more than $600 BILLION a year when everything is factored in-
These ‘dreamers’ sure do dream- they dream about crossing the boarder and drinking beer all day as they collect welfare money by having many kids here- and collecting free health care and free college and and and- that’s a hell of a dream- money for nothin- chicks for free-
No welfare.
End birthright citizenship. It was never the intent of the 14th Amend.
They will go home.
“Trump should strike a bargain with these Senatorial hand-wringers.”
You are one of those who simply do not have any common sense when it comes to understanding what your stupid statement will mean to your future generations. Furthermore, I notice you are from California so I can understand where you come from....a raging liberal or someone who simply does not have enough common sense to come out of the rain.
Do you realize that these people are breeding like rats and by leaving them here while feeding and housing them while on the welfare rolls will only make them spew forth even more Mexico loving/American hating spawn?
They have already been given chances and special exceptions by the Democrats and “bleeding hearts” of this country and now have become the “bait” that brings in all manner of pestilence from the south to enjoy the good life with free everything.
The LAW is the LAW and making special exceptions has been the cancer that has eaten away our rights as true American Citizens. SEND THEM BACK! Let them come back through the system we have in place to enter country once again. Make it mandatory that they speak and write ENGLISH as required by the original rules of our naturalization process calls forth.
NO EXCEPTIONS....PERIOD!
Chewie - you’re going about it the wrong way. Turn off the magnets and they self-deport.
No free college, no free health care, no free housing, no free food. Aggressively enforce E-Verify and aggressively prosecute those who employ illegals and soon enough, they head for the border going South.
Make it impossible for them to thrive in our culture outside of legal means and they beat feet back to whatever hell hole they came from.
