A good take on the Gang of 8 Immigration reform;
The United States of El Norte
Actually we don't have to deport them all we need is a bill with just 4 inclusions;
1, Make E-Verify mandatory, resume work place raids, arrest and fine employers whom hire illegals.
2, Make it a class A felony to sell, lease, rent, or otherwise provide illegals with dwellings.
3, Remove all loopholes for obtaining government assistance which includes the anchor baby loophole.
4, Require proof of citizenship or legal status to enroll kids in school.
In a nutshell make it as difficult as possible to exist in the US illegally. They do this, there will be no reason for them to come here, no reason for them to overstay visas, and no reason for those here already to stay, and our problem for the most part will deport itself.
The United States of El Norte
There are only two sure consequences of the current 800-page immigration hairball before Congress. The first is that a minimum of 11 million citizens of other countries, more Mexicans than anyone else, will become permanent, undeportable residents of the U.S., and can immediately begin working to get all their relations here. Second, the bill, if we are foolish enough to pass it, would create a powerful incentive for millions more south of the border to come here once word gets around that if you can sneak into El Norte now, you’re here to stay.
“We can’t round up and deport 11 million people here illegally.”
So who said we could? I’ve never heard anyone advocate for a deadline on saying adios to 11 million citizens of other countries here illegally. But if we had the will to do so, we could deport a large percentage of these gate-crashers, and at less expense than all the finding, fining, taxing, penalizing, English testing et al. the current bill’s supporters say they want to do. And why should the threat of being deported be removed from people here illegally while others wait to become Americans the right way?
