I agree with those excellent ideas. In fact, just because we "close" the borders it does not mean that we stop letting in deserving immigrants who want to become Americans. However we definitely need to close our borders (including Canadian borders) to illegals, criminals, gangs, the diseased, and terrorists.
When they come across the border they need papers that confirm they can speak at least some English, they have a place to stay, they have a job lined up, they are healthy, they are not criminals, they swear to become law-abiding U.S. citizens and follow our laws, etc. or if they are here only temporarily they must return in the designated time table.
Companies that are looking for labor need to help set up the necessary centers in Mexico to help allow these immigrants find jobs and places to stay if needed. Companies that bring in large groups need to pay for the impact costs of the communities they affect.
We need to stop allowing immigrants to sign up on the various forms of government welfare as this negatively affects U.S. citizens everywhere.
I agree and disagree. English, yes-either speak or be willing to learn. First though, be within the limits regarding the country you are leaving into this country. Congress has to set realistic quotas for countries-based on US interests.
Have someone to sponsor the newcomer-could be employer, family member-no matter how distant, church group, community group, etc.
No 'handouts' for 5 years, if here legally. None for illegals.
No employment, schools, hospitals, etc. without documentation. Hospitals could have 'emergency exemption', but 'born here' would be negated.
