It will never happen. It is an impossibility - too much border. Best to go ahead and have them serve in our military, make em citizens, get em paying taxes. Same time we can crack down on businesses that hire illegals.
I would rather the illegal immigration problem be slowed down to a trickle than to just leave the flood gates open.We should secure the border. We should crack down on the scum who hire illegals by jailing them,revoking their business license and make them subject to assets seizure and forfeiture law. Since it takes two to tango we should also throw illegals who are caught into jail 6 for six months(
assuming this is their first offense and only crime) before sending them back their country.We do not need to legalize any illegal that is here
We should also do things on the local level to entice illegals to go back to their countries-
1.No tax payer funded services(driver's licenses, food handler permits,IDs, business licenses and etc) for illegals. The fact someone is here illegally means that they should not be allowed to walk into a government office without being arrested.
2. Require financial institutions(
banks,check cashing places and money wiring services ) to require a valid state ID.
3. Require auto-dealerships new and used to not sell vehicles to anyone without a valid state issued driver's license.
4.Require schools to verify that the parents are actually residents of the state(
illegals can not be residents of the state) and have local valid state issued IDs or driver's licenses.
5.No tax payer funded benefits(welfare,food stamps, education and etc.)or illegals.Again the fact someone is here illegally means that they should not be allowed to walk into a government office without being arrested.
6.Require the police to verify the legal status of everyone they pull over for a traffic offense. This one no one can falsely claim discrimination or racial profiling. This would also get illegals from Canada and European countries and other illegals who can easily blend in with the local population.
7.Require hospitals to report illegals to authorities. If they have to report gun shot wounds and child abuse then there is no reason we can't require hospitals to report illegals.
8.Enact something similar to Arizona's law that makes it hard to pick up day laborers.
