If the politicians and the American public would look at the immigration and border security issues as they are in the real world, they would see how easy it would be to deal with them.
The first thing folks need to understand is that there are three kinds of illegal immigrants:
1) Those who simply want to work and have a better life for their families
2) Those who are moving drugs across the border, and
3) Terrorists and criminals looking to harm America in any way they can
The people on the left only see group #1, and their instincts are to help them. The folks on the right have greater concern about groups #2 & 3, and their instinct is to do whatever it takes to protect America. And this is where the division occurs in America.
But if you recognize there are different groups, it becomes clear on how to deal effectively with them.
To stem the tide of illegal workers (group #1) the only thing we need to do is enforce current laws. Employers who hire illegals should be severely punished. If illegals cannot work, they will be forced to go home, and "new" illegals will not bother coming. That solves most of that portion of the issue except what to do with illegals who have children born here. I'll cover that later in this post.
Once illegal workers are no longer coming across the border, that only leaves drug cartels, terrorists and other criminals. That being the case, and whereas all of those people are a serious and dangerous threat to national security, they should be shot on sight. We do not have prisons enough, and if we deport them they will simply return. Trust me - after dispatching a few, the problem will quickly subside.
So, how do we know they are criminals or terrorists? Because those from group #1 have already stopped coming because there is no work. Under a "zero tolerance" policy we can and should assume anyone still crossing illegally is a criminal or terrorist bent on harming America. And if illegal workers still want to try, they will do so knowing that they will be assumed to be terrorists and shot on sight, so I don't think they will try. Why risk your life for a job that isn't there?
OK, so illegal workers are no longer coming over, and many who are here will be forced out due to a lack of employment. All others are being dispatched permanently. That leaves the problem of those who have "anchor babies."
Families with anchor babies should be given a choice of either going home, and their American children may return on their own when they turn 18 OR they may choose to pay a hefty fine, then apply for legal immigrant status. Once the fine is paid and they have applied, they will be granted permission to work in America as a "guest worker." Current law may require us to allow illegals with anchor babies to stay, but it does not require that we allow them to work. Under this plan, the issue is dissolved properly - they may stay or leave, but if they choose to stay they cannot work unless they pasy the fine and apply for legal status.
So, illegals workers stop coming. Those who have legitimate reason for staying may choose to do so. All others are a dangerous threat to America and are therefore treated accordingly - dispatched immediately as enemy combatants without further ado.
I can just about guarantee that would put an end to at least 95% of the problem.
Cold and hard for the criminals/terrorists, perhaps. But the people we are up against are just as cold and hard. They are cold-blooded murderers who will not be deterred by anything less. They have already proven that in Mexico where they have murdered over 100,000 people over the last three years alone.
It needs to be stopped. And this plan is the only one that has any hope of doing that.
