President Trump doesn’t have to deport a single illegal alien. He doesn’t even have to build a physical wall (although I fervently hopes he does). All he has to do is enforce present immigration law and heavily fine employers.
They will self-deport. And the ones who don’t, no access to federal programs. That includes so-called “sanctuary cities”.
If employers can be identified. Since the employers have committed TAX FRAUD by mis-reporting FICA and income tax withholding, I suggest we get all those extra IRS staff they hired to enforce Obamacare penalties to run down these employers and start fining them for tax fraud.
The IRS is the gestapo compared to ICE. They can seize bank accounts, multiply penalties faster than a speeding bullet, auction off your property. All before you even get your day in tax court, where you have to prove your innocence rather than them proving you guilty. Smart small businessmen will jettison their illegal workers in a hurry when faced with the IRS. The IRS can also seize and sell off any property actually owned by the illegals — cars, houses, bank accounts.
Trump has promised the first goal is to deport the illegal aliens who are felons. Fine. Get that started day one, but on day two start finding all the others. Let’s not pretend we can only do one thing at a time.
“All he has to do is enforce present immigration law and heavily fine employers.”
Precisely. Ever since Bush II was itching to sign “comprehensive immigration reform” legislation back in 2006 we have known that what uniparty has always wanted was 1986 redux: another general legislative amnesty. (SEE Rubio & Cruz hitching his wagon to Trump)
We’ve seen how that amnesty worked out. Three million (?) `forgiven’ thirty years ago. Well, there are a lot more than 11 million illegal squatters now. If we kick this can down the road again, how many millions to deal with in 2046?
DACA was Obama’s illegal `executive action’ end-run around federal immigration law. He swore an oath to enforce the law, but he has been scoff-law-in-chief.
No amnesty. Toss out DACA. DREAMers is just another stupid uniparty euphemism/acronym.
As you say, all we have to do is enforce our immigration laws. We have the law and facts on our side, while the left has pathos and tears, particularly crocodile tears, dry quickly.
Border jumpers, criminals, socialist products yearning to live free and other cast-offs taught to lie about needing `political asylum’: send them home.
Anchor babies? They can stay with their parents. No? Then foster care or adoption. Tough love, it takes a pueblo ....
Fine lawbreakers, as you say, from businesses to homeowners too lazy to mow their own lawns and make their own beds.
`California’ wants to leave? Land isn’t going anywhere. Californians unhappy with national sovereignty can go north, as they threatened to do, or south, back to their home countries.
Thanks to Donald Trump we’ve got another chance. Let’s not blow it. As he says, echoing us here on FR, we’re either a country or we aren’t.
