And yet you keep doubling down on a failed system.
When you make something illegal - drugs, immigration, prostitution, alcohol - you just create an illegal market for it.
The more you crack down, the more illegals you get. Funny how that works.
If we enforced the law properly and passed more laws, we could nearly eliminate illegal immigrants. We need to make it mandatory to report ANY contact and illegal alien has with any hospital, governmental agency or employer. In other words, if an illegal gets pulled over for a traffic ticket, arrest them and turn them over to ICE for deportation. If one files for any governmental service (Section Eight, welfare, AFDC or food stamps even for their citizen children; arrest them and turn them over to ICE for deportation, if one goes to the hospital or the emergency room for treatment for themselves OR their citizen children; deport them. If they enroll either their illegal alien or citizen kids in school, deport them, if they try to find employment; deport them. If the IRS gets multiple W-2s from multiple locations under the same name and SSAN, track them down, jail them for identity theft, then deport them. In other words, treat illegal aliens like other nations do. Make it so restrictive and uncomfortable for them they can't live here and self-deport. Any Green Card holder who doesn't carry their Green Card as is required by law, arrest them for the first offense, deport them for any subsequent offenses.

Under 8 U.S. Code § 1304(e), every lawful permanent resident aged 18 or older must carry their green card—also known as Form I-551—at all times. The law clearly states:
“Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration…”
Failure to comply with this rule is not a minor issue—it’s a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $100, up to 30 days in jail, or both.
This legal requirement has been on the books for decades, but in July 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) renewed public awareness around it with a formal warning, reminding green card holders that “lawful permanent residency is a privilege, not a right.”
"In some cases, you can get deported for a misdemeanor. The chances increase if the offense qualifies as a crime of moral turpitude or an aggravated felony under immigration law. Deportable misdemeanors include theft, fraud, domestic violence, DUI, and drug-related offenses. The 2025 Laken Riley Act also expanded detention authority to include noncitizens who are merely charged with or arrested for certain crimes, not just those convicted."
