I was watching Bill Maher today and he and Richard Dawkins were taking the left to task for their stance on immigration. When someone like Bill Maher is agreeing with Republicans on immigration, I think something has changed.
What should America's immigration policy be going forward?
(1) Legal immigration ONLY.
(2) The number allowed to immigrate should depend on our economic stability.
(3) Remove ALL illegal immigrants immediately, no exceptions.
(4) Anyone caught housing, feeding, employing, or otherwise aiding and assisting illegal immigrants, should be place in prison for life without the possibility of parole.
(5) ALL legal immigrants must accept and adopt American customs and traditions, and abide by acceptable religious practices.
(6) Legal immigrants are not eligible for SSI, Disability, or other taxpayer funded benefits for the first 5 years of citizenship.
(7) Legal immigrants MUST have skills that are suitable for employment in this country, and must provide documentation confirming that before citizenship is granted.
(8) All legal immigrants must understand that Sharia law is strictly prohibited in the U.S..
(9) Relatives of legal immigrants are not automatically eligible to enter the U.S., nor stay past their visa expiration date.
(10) Immigrants are to be considered for citizenship based on an extensive background check, verifiable through multiple sources.
