If the borders are finally secured, what should be done with the illegal already here?

Question

Obviously amnesty is NOT the answer. I think mass deportation is possible, but it would receive much criticism I'm afraid.

I think the best way to deal with the ones here already is crack down on employers, landlords, take away public benefits (free health care, school, housing, food stamps etc)

If we did that, the illegals would have no more jobs, no more freebies, etc. They will have no choice but to self-deport.

Also I think it's a good idea to take away automatic citizenship to children born to illegals. I think that might not only solve their breeding problem, but it will sever their 'anchor' to be here since their offspring would be illegal too.

What do you think?

Answer 1

You don't even know what you are saying, and it's sad that I share the same US citizenship with you. You are one of the most unAmerican people I've seen here on YA. Please stop your crying, take your hate somewhere else. Thank you.

Answer 2

What do we need to do? Quite simple. Enforce the existing laws. Doing that would solve 80% of the illegal immigration problem. The other 20% would be better technology and more border patrol agents (North and South). The other thing would be to actually execute the freaking sobs in jail serving a life sentence. Really? What purpose does it serve keeping them in jail other than wasting resources that can be used to ACTUALLY reform the ones that have a chance?

Answer 3

Get them out of here! People tend to forget the meaning of the word "illegal" in the phrase "illegal immigration". No other country would stand for it - the least of all Mexico. They have some very stringent illegal immigration laws. And while they are at it, crack down on the scumbags who hire these illegal aliens to save a couple of bucks.

Taking away their benefits is a good idea. I don't bust my hump five or six days a week so my tax dollars can pay for them to sit home and reproduce unchecked. If they want a piece of the pie, let them go through the proper channels, earn their citizenship the way our ancestors did and work and pay taxes like everyone else does. If this seems unfair, they should work for reform in their own country so they won't need to come here.

By the way, Jessica Rabbit is right on about the sanctuary crap. If the church wants to meddle in government affairs,
let them pay taxes like everyone else. They will back off very quickly!

Answer 4

Encouraging 'self-deportation' by cracking down on law-breaking employers and denying services to illegal aliens is certainly the most efficient way of going about it. Such actions, though, should precede 'securing' the border, since they'll reduce the flow of economic refugees, making border security more practical to accomplish, as well.

However, I can't agree about gutting the 14th Amendment, though. I would say that 'anchor babies' should not be an excuse to stay: parental rights trump the 'right' of the child to stay.

Answer 5

ARREST AND DEPORT! They are ILLEGAL they broke the law they should be put on a bus and driven back to where ever they came from. Just like if some steals, murders, or even drives drunk ,they break the law, and they have to deal with there consequences. Laws are there for a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

After all is said an done 200 million USA citizens have spoken No amnesty , close our borders,enforce our laws, Wears the fence.No jobs, No pay, No stay. Either leave or be deported. There choice.Your right no more anchor baby's.or social service.Keep up the calls.& e/mails.

Answer 7

I absolutely agree - the only problem with your plan is that it is fair, inexpensive, easy and honest. So no politician would dare consider it.

As for the anchor baby status - it can also be addressed easily. We just state that it only applies if at least one parent is a legal CITIZEN (not just legal visa holder or legal resident).

This takes away all of the crying concerning those who feel we are separating kids from their parents. Which we all know is a bunch of hooey. Who wouldn't take their kid with them when they got deported but unfit parents. If they leave the kid then CPS should take their parental rights away.

Answer 8

Take all the money they have and send them back. We need that money to clean up the mess that they have made and then we should put minutemen every 2 miles along the whole southern border.

Answer 9

If our laws were enforced regarding employers, they would self-deport! Just crack down on the employers (e.g., huge fines, prison, etc...). If this is faced by the employers, they won't hire the illegals, the jobs would dry up and the illegals would leave!

This sanctuary crap is also ridiculous! Take away the tax benefits for churches that harbor these criminals.

Answer 10

there's nothing u can do anymore because we r already here taking ur jobs that's why people become citizens that's also why the U.S lets us become citizens because they know that we r hard workers n we do the jobs u guys can't do remember what happened in the movie one day without Mexicans that is what would happen!!!! the U.S will go down without us.

Answer 11

Mandatory sterilization and if they are pregnant, mandatory abortion. Withdrawal of all government assistance. If they want to stay here then they should have to make their own way just like everyone else. They should not be allowed to have anymore children if they live here because I am ******* tired of paying for it.
