Does illegal immigration have a simple solution?

Question

I mean since most of the illegal immigrants live in Mexico, they could go back and get their papers quickly. Then the U.S. would have to handle the terrorists, the drug dealers, etc. And if there are any rebellions about illegal immigration against America, we could just take away the rebellious people's citizenship, or their possibilities of becoming a citizen.

Answer 1

There is no simple solution and it's not yo sé español, hablo español or entiendo el español is what you want to say.

Answer 2

Yes, there's a simple solution, just no political will to do it. This administration more or less gutted the prosecution and deportation of illegals. Under Clinton, thousands were rounded up and sent back every year. Under Bush, only a handful are returned. He's too friendly with Fox.

The Dems may actually do something (they couldn't do LESS than the GOP did) but they also don't have the will to really fix the problem.

Sending them back is the easy solution! That, and creating really solid border security.

Answer 3

I believe the illegals should not have the right to become U.S. Citizens. But if there family members are in Mexico waiting to come here . Than the ones that are waiting should put there papers in and start learning English. But the ones who broke the law should never have a chance at all.

Answer 4

I like your simplicity. It won't work. Not totally sure about the accuracy but, the US has a total number they allow in from Mexico each year. That number (I think around 60000) is used up by February of each year.

In my mind the simplest solution would be for border and customs to do their jobs. That is, better service at the border and bust employers who hire illegal and pay cash (at least the big obvious ones).

If big time home builder is charging $120.00 a square foot which is based on the cost of his expenses (workers), he pays the regular tax paying citizen 20 bucks and hour to frame the house. But, with an illegal worker, he can pay as low as minimum wage and still get his $120.00 a square foot. Not to mention, the illegal probably doesn't pay taxes or enough taxes.

Answer 5

Yes, I think there is a simple solution, go after the employers, jail the people that do the hiring, fine the company's that hire illegal aliens huge amounts. That should dry up the job market and the incentive to hire these people at substandard wages. NO WORK= NO MONEY= NO REASON TO BE HERE. There are laws in place to do this so just enforce these laws.

Answer 6

I'm not for amnesty, we need to get them out and keep them out, building a wall is crucial. Fining the companies hefty fees will also solve the problem. No work no reason to be here, also the government needs to stop giving them stuff, no aid what so ever for illegals, that would keep them out.

Answer 7

But then the people who hire them for cheap labor would have to pay them regular wages...and those cheap bastards wouldnt want to do that. Thats the reason why they dont close the border completly. Why ruin good cheap labor so rich republicans can stay rich?

Answer 8

Simple solution just complicated to enforce since it's so out of hand. They all need to be deported. Period.

Answer 9

Stop the people that hire them and they will leave! That is as simple as it gets!

Answer 10

It will never happen. Politicians see them as future voters, so they pander to them. It's all about staying in office and not what is best for our country.
