As long as those in favor pay the taxes to do it, fine.
That and good ******* luck taking all the land you need to fence the border. You'll be in court for about four decades.
BTW, to pull this off you'd need a city the size of New York, with a fence around it. That is going to be some bill you'll end of paying so I hope you saved your pennies, you'll need them:
Deporting 11 Million People Could Cost 400-600 Billion Study Finds - The Atlantic
Dear
PaintMyHouse and
Grampa Murked U
Once again PMH brings up good points, so all that is missing is a good solution.
Since there are an estimated 12 million or more Mexican Nationals living in the US,
why not work out an agreement with Mexico to claim 4-5 cities along the border,
one near each border state, that will represent the legal home state for these Nationals
to have "dual citizenship". So any families split between status can claim "dual citizenship"
in one of these designated shared cities. The goal is to shift ownership of these 5 city states
back to the people who will claim citizenship, residency and responsibility for govt there.
So they will have a place and legally be under those rules for paying taxes and costs for
social benefits or whatever else is currently under US govt and US taxpayers if they are on this side of the border .
In the meantime, to participate in this program, ANY violation of immigration, labor laws, benefits,
or using school or medical resources paid for by US taxpayers who only agreed to pay for LEGAL citizens
and not cover people in between status,
will be assessed and paid back to develop these cities and programs run and managed by the immigrant workers
so there is no more dependence on US taxpayers but all debts and criminal violations are paid back as part of the plan.
the tradeoff will be the workers will own and manage their own citystates, schools, medical and govt programs
to be truly independent. Since many of the members either have dual status or have children and families split
between US, Mexican and also Native American jurisdiction, it would require collaboration of all these to set up
the communities and campus/factory facilities so there is a legitimate place for legal residency and citizenship.
Then if the workers are stationed in other cities and states, they can still be registered under their home
state or work-study program and be a "guest worker" or 'guest student" in other communities if there is an agreement.
This should end the business of doing this WITHOUT an agreement of who is responsible for what costs.
Set up a work-study program to register all the workers, students and other immigrants,
and then work out a credit plan for how much is owed in order to restore and establish regular status.
