That one is too easy, use E-verify in the job market, and social services with a thumb print added to take away all doubt. |

Start off by putting the National Guard on our borders to stop the illegal immigration. Once you stop that then you can pass tougher laws that punish the companies that employ those that are already here. If they can't find a job they will go back home. |

End birthright citizenship and "family reunification". Enforce the law. |

Ya heard me

Secure our borders (which should have been done after 9/11), enforce our immigration laws, fine/jail employers of illegal aliens, no freebies for them, etc. |

As cool as it is to be able to come to a new country and live a better life,....its to hard on our economy. We should have better patrols and heavy fines for employing people who are not U.S. citizens. I felt really guilty typing those words but its my belief that this would be for the better. |

1. Making the legalization process more available to immigrants who want to become legal American citizens.
2. Making the hiring of undocumented or illegal workers a felony crime punishable by jail time, loss of business license (and repossession of property by the IRS).
3. Felony charges and loss of business license for property owners, managers, or home owners who harbor or rent to illegal immigrants.
3. Illegal Immigrants caught on U.S. soil should be deported immediately.
4. Increasing patrol and surveillance along the U.S./Mexico border.
5. Increasing patrol at airports and other areas of entrance into the United States.
6. Vehicles driven by illegal immigrants or person's without insurance should immediately be repossessed.
7. Emphasis on work visas for immigrants who want to work seasonally and then return to their home country.
8. When the situation pertains to Mexican immigrants, the U.S. needs to help Mexico solve it's crime problems, so that people will stop fleeing Mexico.
9. No drivers licenses issued to illegal immigrants or financial/medical benefits issued to persons of illegal status. Not until they have some sort of documentation or legalization process occurring. |

Impose heavy fines on American employers who hire illegal aliens. Repeat offenders would see prison time. |

I would suggest a few different phases to curb the growing problem:
(1) Deploy the National Guard and Reserves to patrol and secure the border. If anyone is caught trying to cross illegally they get processed and deported. In the processing, we take a blood sample, fingerprints and retinal scans so we can identify them in case they ever come back. And 3 strikes against someone disqualifies them from ever attaining any type of US visa or citizenship in the future.
(2) finish the border wall. I don't think that a physical wall is really what is needed everywhere though. There should be permanent 360-degree motion detectors, in a cross-hatching pattern (not just a single line), every so often along the border where it's not justifiable to build a wall. And I would suggest putting small national guard stations or outposts at every mile so they can quickly get to the scene when a motion detector goes off. I'd also suggest that when a physical wall is built, to make it a double wall separated by like 30-40 feet. With the first, located on the actual border, being made out of reinforced concrete, and about 20ft tall. The second wall could be the same as the primary or barbed fence. But the national guard patrols would travel between the two. And of course the legal crossings would have to go through streamlining and get increased manpower so that legitimate crossings would not be held up.
(3) pass strict Federal laws on hiring only those that hold US citizenship or US work visas. This could be done through the local sheriff's office. And this would have to be checked before hiring anyone. The punishment for not going through the checking process could be harsh fines (say 10-25% of their operating costs) for the first offense, and then add two weeks in jail to the fine for every case for repeat offenders. So someone that gets caught twice, and the second time they hired 10 people illegally, would get about 5 months on top of the fine. And the proceeds of the fines could go one third to the sheriff's dept for increased expenses or manpower, a third to the local city/county govt's general fund, and the remaining third to the national guard.
(4) Also...I'd suggest changing the citizenship requiments for birthrights. I would not abolish them, just add an adjustment. The adjustment would be that in order to attain citizenship at birth, one must prove the legality of the parent's citizenship or legal entry into the US beyond a reasonable doubt. So there could be 3 situations in this adjustment: (a) parents are already US citizens when you're born and you become a US citizen, (b) parents are not US citizens and are in the country legally so you become a US Citizen, and (c) your parents are not US Citizens and are not legally in this country so you get processed and deported to the country of your parents' citizenship. It would reward following immigration and visa laws and punish illegal immigration. |

End entitlement programs, and leave charity to the free market.
That will ensure that money is going ONLY to those that need it to get back on their feet, and those that abuse the system will be weeded out.
In free market, there is competition. If these non-profit programs are shoddily run, then they will receive no donations and their competitors will suceed. Competition produces quality... which is so clearly lacking in government run programs.
If the welfare programs are eliminated, we don't have to worry about "illegals' or anyone else leaching off of the American public. The illegals would be free to get jobs just like the rest of us. I don't see a problem with that.
Let them work if they want.. |

Start by putting more patrol on the border to cover the vast mileage of border area. Secondly, put the fear of god in those who make it across. Right now they think that is a slap on the wrist when caught in the US. If the punishment were worse, they might think twice about entering. And third, severely punish the employers who hire the illegals. If there were no jobs for illegals in the US, they would not come here. also, let them know how our tax system works, and that they will have to pay health care. This alone will scare them. |

Marcos, you are the ignorant one!!
Our laws should just be enforced and illegal aliens caught here for any reason should be deported without any chance to return even legally. |

Turn to ancient Rome's policies and just take over everywhere and make people you conquer into slaves or let them be citizens. No more immigrants that way! |

AMNESTY!... and secure our borders by hiring more Border Agents instead of building the poorly planned fence.
More Agents = more employed Americans.
We cannot afford to lose any more tax payers and consumers of America.....REFORM, NOT RAIDS! |
