Number 1...run over the border pregnant and we get the privledge of paying for the birth and hospital care and it could be millions if theres mother or baby complications..and when its all said and done...we make your child a citizen so proponents of illegal immigration can whine OH YOU CANT SPLIT UP FAMILIES...whos kidding who...NO baby born of illegal immigrants should be a citizen number 1
Er, that would INCREASE illegal immigration. You'd be classifying a whole new group of millions of people as illegal immigrants.
But, regardless, you need a constitutional amendment to do that. No way that happens.
number two ENFORCE huge fines for any employer that hires an illegal immigrant
Yeah, that has been one of Obama's main pushes. Very successful so far.
If you took our entire military, even at it's currently ultra inflated size, and you stationed every single person- that means every accountant and janitor that works for the military, not just active duty soldiers- along the entire US border 24 hours a day working in shifts, then there would be approximately 2,000 feet between one military person and the next. Plenty of room for somebody to slip through. Plus you have something like 100,000 of those huge shipping containers a day coming in to the US, around 1 million people legally crossing the border each day, planes, cruise ships to be searched, etc... And even if you secured the entire border 100% somehow, a huge portion of undocumented immigrants are people who overstayed visas, so it wouldn't help with them at all. Not really the complete solution one might have assumed even if we completely withdrew from all military obligations and ventures around the world, completely retooled the entire military into purely a border patrol, and kept it at approximately half of our federal budget.
What you are proposing is spending approximately $1 trillion/year trying to solve a problem that only costs us around $30 billion/year in social services. And even at the $1 trillion/year level, all we can really expect is maybe a 50% reduction or so. I don't think that makes sense to spend $1 trillion just to save $30 billion.
Besides, if we are going to do a no-holds-barred, no-budget-is-too-big all out law enforcement blitz on some crime, why pick illegal immigration? Why not focus those resources on a more serious type of crime like murder or rape?
when you catch them coming over...pile them in trucks and drive them to the mexican border...as soon as an illegal is identified...drive him to the border...
If they catch somebody as they are crossing the border that is what they do. But, once somebody is inside the US then they need to have due process. We don't allow the government to apply such a massive punishment to people as deportation just on the suspicion of a law enforcement officer. That would be straight up tyranny.
