Quote:Mysteryman, way back when, offered the alternative solution. He wants us to round up anyone who is here illegally and ship them out of the country. He will back this up by closing off all services to them and their families so that the ones the authorites can't find will be basically starved out of the country.
You have twice now totally misstated my position.
You have also said that I support breaking up families.
I have NEVER said that,nor will I ever.
If you are going to restate my position,then at least have the decency to state it correctly.
I have been giving this some thought,and I think I have the solution that makes the most sense.
Lets start with the companies that hire undocumented workers...
I propose that those companies,when caught,pay a fine of $1,000,000 per day per undocumented worker or fake SS#.
Or,at the govt's discression,those companies forfeit ALL profits made while they had any illegal workers on their payroll.
If the company cannot afford the fine,all of their assets are seized by the govt and auctioned off,with the previous corporate officers and managers barred from bidding.
As for the illegal immigrants themselves...
Since we all know it is not feasible to round up 12 million people,then we can do this...
First of all,CLOSE THE BORDER.
Allow the military to patrol the border,and arrest ANYONE trying to cross illegally.
Second,as illegals are arrested,they will be held in detention centers near the border.
Those centers will be along the lines of Maricopa county and their tent cities.
As ilegals are brought there,they are fingerprinted and theit prints compared to all onidentified prints in the national database.
Any that match unsolved crimes,those people will be held for the authorities.
After the illegal immigrants are processed,they will be sent home.
Our govt will then charge the immigrants home country for our expense.
For every $1 we spend processing,feeding,and housing the immigrants,that persons home cuntry will be charged $500,000.
If that country refuses to pay,then we cut any financial aid to that country by that same amount.
If that doesnt work,then all assets of that govt in this country will be seized and the amount they owe us will be deducted.
As for how to treat the illegal immigrants,that is simple.
We look to their home countries laws.
For example,illegal immigrants coming from Mexico will be treated the same way that Mexican law says that illegal immigrants are to be treated in Mexico.
Illegals from France will be treated the way French law treats illegal immigrants in France,etc.
As for "breaking up families",here is my positiion.
I do NOT support breaking families up,but the choice would not be up to our govt.
Women that come into the US to have "anchor babies",will no longer be allowed.
We will give them a choice.
They can keep their baby,but the baby does not get US citizenship and they are both deported,or the baby gets US citizenship,but is taken from the mother and she is still deported,never to see the child again.
The choice is entirely up to the mother.
Then we change the wording of the 14th amendment.
Here is the current wording...
Amendment XIV - Citizenship rights. Ratified 7/9/1868. Note History
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
We should change it to this...
All persons born or naturalized in the United States to legal citizens,residents,and visitors...
This is a plan that is fair to everyone,IMHO.
