1) Use the E-verify system in every state to verify work eligibility. If a company is caught knowingly employing illegals the company has to shut it's doors for 10 days. Second offense is 30 days. Third offense is permanent. When the risk outweighs the rewards the employers will change their ways or cease to be employers.
2) Scrap the current complex immigration process. Legal immigration should be easier. If they can pass a simple but thorough background check let them in. Steady employment must be maintained as they will be ineligible for welfare benefits. If during the first 2 years they go more than 120 days unemployed, out they go.
Once those 2 steps are in place illegal immigration should all but stop for those who are just seeking a better way of life. The drug runners, human smugglers, and other criminals should be the only ones left trying to sneak in. Then start step 3.
3) Secure the border. That doesn't necessarily mean a wall across the southern US, but it does mean border patrol has the ability to patrol without interference. Anyone sneaking into the US is a criminal and they should be treated as such. Arrest them and return them using the Eisenhauer method of deportation. Don't return them to the border, ship them to southern mexico(or nothernmost part of canada  ) and drop them off. If someone illegally entering the US violently engages US LE then the solution is simple - shoot them on the spot as you would any other violent invasion force.
of course none of that will happen because illegal immigration is a wonderful topic to keep the citizenry divided and controllable by those elected to serve us. |
I really don't have an issue with any of that. I won't have a problem paying higher prices for products and services, and I won't have a problem with more federal government employees to do the work that will need to get done.
I'd also add:
Knowingly employing an undocumented alien makes you inelligible for public office.
Undocumented aliens who are treated at a hospital and can't pay will be stablized and deported.
