How can we stop invaders and criminals from entering the United States illegally?

Question

Why doesn't the U.S. government pick up all these invaders and put them to work at the border building a wall with no wage until they have worked enough hours to pay for the $5000 fine that they are supposed to pay for crossing the border illegally? Then they can be put back in their own country that they think is so wonderful! Adios!

Just think, 12 million workers that won't cost the government anything to prevent further invasion attempts!

Answer 1

There are a number of ways. some realistic, some not. I have three solutions to the problem of the illegal immigration invasion.

, I of course have my ideal “only in a perfect world” solution. That is to completely fence the border and make it impenetrable to those trying to cross illegally, then send ICE out to mass deport anyone who is here illegally.

Of course, that is not realistic no matter how much sense it makes. I have several real options that I see for dealing with illegal immigration.

First Solution:

The Oil for Illegals program. Mexico is the world’s 4th richest oil producing nation, they have oil fields that rival the middle east’s. if the American government refuses to deport those here illegally, and Mexico’s government refuses to stop encouraging people to go to the US illegally and send money home to prop up their economy...that’s fine.

BUT, in return, Mexico must remit 1 barrel of oil each month for every Illegal Immigrant in the US to offset the drain on our economy from the social services, lost taxes, and educational services they receive. Think about that, with an estimated 12-20 million illegals in the US...that’s a lot of oil.

It also helps solve another problem, with the influx of free crude oil from Mexico, we then DRASTICALLY reduce our dependence on Arab Oil and OPEC and we can tell them to go get stuffed, lower prices at the pump to put money back in the pockets of the taxpaying citizens who have been footing the bill for illegals for years, and quit letting Mexico export their problems to us. They will have to start caring for their own citizens and economy.


Second Idea:

I think there needs to be a two-fold approach to ending illegal immigration. First, you remove the carrot on the proverbial stick that is luring them here by the millions. By that I mean require ALL businesses to verify the legal immigration status of every worker employed, and that they want to hire, through a web-based verification database. Those that are applying for a job and the verification comes back saying they are here illegally, ICE will be notified and will take said person into custody, and deport him within 3 days. In addition to deportation, any and all property, vehicles, bank accounts and other assets will be seized and auctioned off to pay fro the cost of deporting them.

Right now, when people get deported, all they have to do is shell out a couple hundred bucks and come right back across and pick up where they left off, if the penalty for being in the US illegally was stricter like that, and they lost all their possessions, they would think twice about coming back across.

Now with regards to the businesses that are screwing the American worker by hiring illegals, I say we hit them the hardest, starting at the TOP and working our way down. If an employer is found to be hiring illegal immigrants, that business will be fined a minimum of $100,000 for every illegal worker they have hired, and in addition, the executive of that company will be imprisoned for one year in federal prison for each illegal worker.

And I am not talking a country club fed prison, I’m talking in there with the hard core criminals. Once this starts happening, companies will think twice.

The second part of that carrot is stop providing the social services incentive for them to come here. Prop 187 should be reinstated across the country. Deny any and all public benefits such as non-emergency medical care, education, welfare, food stamps, etc. to anyone that is here illegally.

Once the lure of a job and free healthcare and education and free handouts is gone there is not much incentive to come.

In addition to all that you completely secure the border. Then re-vamp the damned state department bureaucracy to fix the problem of those wanting to come here legally and do it the right way being made to wait 5 years to get a green card. Have a limited guest worker program, where they are able to come here for a period of 2 to 5 years and work Legally.

Before being approved to be a guest worker, they must have a background check. No felons will be admitted into the guest program, they must demonstrate a proficiency in English, they must have a medical exam and be free of diseases that we have eradicated in our country such as TB. They will, as an approved guest worker, be able to obtain a temporary driver’s license for the specific period they are authorized to be in the country as a guest worker provided they provide proof of vehicle insurance, they must provide on a monthly basis continued proof of insurance on their vehicle.

If they commit a crime, get busted for DUI, let their vehicle insurance lapse and be caught driving, etc.

Their guest worker status will be terminated immediately and they will be deported and barred from ever becoming a guest worker again.


Third:

We can say F*ck that to a guest worker program. Who will pick the lettuce you ask? Well, we have a HUGE population of inmates sitting around in prisons doing absolutely nothing at the average cost of $36,000 per year per inmate.

THAT’S who will pick the lettuce. The American agriculture industry will contract with the state department of corrections to provide labor for their farms. They contract to pay the DOC $2-$3 per hour for each inmate, and then the DOC pays each inmate 70 cents per hour for their labor.

That will help offset the huge expenditures for incarcerating criminals, as well as having prisoners get experience in working everyday and learning responsibility, as well as letting them save money for when their release date comes so they don’t leave prison with only $250 in gate money. Not to mention they now have a skillset with which they can apply to earn a living when they are released instead of having to turn back to criminal activity.

Answer 2

I have good idea go to the border line and step over there but remain over there still but looking every where, don't surrender, when you can stop the immigration maybe you can win the peace Nobel prize because the must of the people think that the immigrants disrupt the peace so you going to be a real hero if you can, but actually you cant not and ask me this question how we can stop the American invasion into other countries like mine or Iraq

Answer 3

They all know. Illegal means not legal and if they don't understand that term - I'm sorry but I think even the mentally poorest knows what it means. They go from state to state, fleeing because they know it very well and if they got deported and re-enter, they do know it's illegal. I have never seen a deported illegal alien re-entering the country by showing up at the border and presenting his passport.

Answer 4

Works for me!
And as for those who think this is "slavery," nobody is forcing them to come to our country illegally. If being put on the chain gang to build our wall were the known outcome of crossing the border illegally (and there weren't jobs and free social services here to lure them), they'd stop coming!
But failing that, I think GanjaMan has everything figured out... His name leaves something to be desired, but his ideas are RIGHT ON THE MONEY! Brilliant!

Answer 5

I love the answer, 'then you can clean the toilets'...well let me tell you something, there are many hard working women here that would love that job..and have had those jobs, and all the benifits that go along with them ...and the construction jobs, and city jobs, and hospital jobs, and all the other jobs illegals have STOLEN from Americans ..while Americans are being forced to sit on unemployment, and can't get a job because they don't speak SPANISH

Answer 6

My vote goes to Ganjaman. Excellent answer in a "perfect world". However, in real life it would never work ... it makes too much sense to implement these policies, too many lobby groups courting too many spineless and avaricious political leaders.
I read something recently that the Mexican government actually has programs to encourage their citizens to illegally enter and work in the USA, they know the billions of $$$ that will come flooding back into their country from the illegals.

Answer 7

Send some real Americans to the border and I bet nobody would cross illegally again! If we would shoot a few of them crossing illegally, then they might get the message.

Answer 8

I agree with you.....Well one of the problems is that we give out STUDENT VISA to easlily and then we do not follow up with them. Thats how so many people I know got into this country and have just stayed..and the fact that we can build space shuttles, but not a sufficent wall just boggles my mind...our government is a bunch of IDIIOTS!

Answer 9

I don't see a reason we can't just put up an electrical fence, not one so extreme that it would kill, just strong enough to leave a ringing in the ears and a taste of metal in their mouths.

Answer 10

why do mexicans have to do all the hard work in this country. Why don't the fat lazy americans build the wall and stop contracting mexicans to clean up their own mess.
