It's not hard to fix the border and deport all the aliens
It just takes the political will to do it
We don't have to run these people through our court system, either. If they are not a legal resident, they don't get access to our courts, but instead deal either with the executive branch through the immigration department, or the military.
If there aren't enough immigration agents and military to deal with it, then muster the militia. Problem will be solved in about an hour.
(1) Announce that all illegals must return to their home country within 30 days, or they will be arrested, documented, and forever barred from entering again, even legally.
(2) Halt all outbound payments to Mexican banks for 90 days -- Western Union, banks, etc.
(3) Require all schools that receive federal funding (almost all do) to document the citizenship of their students, and report non-citizens to immigration.
(4) Require all hospitals and clinics that receive federal funding (they all do) to document the citizenship of their patients, and report non-citizens to immigration.
(5) Put military troops on the southern border, until the wall is completed.
(6) Set up a task force with local SWAT teams to round up criminal elements within the illegal population.
(7) Put Mexico on notice that they have 90 days to take affirmative action to stop illegal border crossing into the US, or we will cease all funding, stop all Mexican truck traffic from entering the USA, and enact a 50% tariff on all goods brought into the USA from Mexico.
That would be a good first day in office.
Second day in office:
(1) The policy (it is NOT a law, but merely a policy) that the 14th Amendment somehow means if you are born on US soil that you are a citizen, is hereby revoked.
(2) Freeze ALL immigration into the USA for 1 year, including legal.
(3) Recind all H1B work visas and college visas, along with their dependents, and give them 180 days to leave.
(4) Freeze all citizenship proceedings for 1 year.
We don't even need to be so draconian. The federal government has no right to know whether or not I am a citizen, unless they have evidence that I am not.
We don't need government to push the illegals back out. We just need to stop letting them in, and stop giving them free gifts.
We should also end the modern form of slavery called hiring illegal immigrants. The way you do that is pretty easy: make it unprofitable for a business to hire an illegal. It can be anything that makes it so, from having them pay a huge fine when they get caught hiring an illegal, to making them pay for the illegals when they are here, etc... Make it unprofitable, the employment will end.
Right now we punish businesses for hiring citizens. Maybe we should tax all jobs, except those that can prove they are citizens, they get a huge discount.
I agree with your scenario, I just don't understand the process and mechanisms to do so. I saw my hometown in Massachusetts get overrun with illegals and watched the crime exponentially increase as well. I had to move away as I couldn't raise my kids in that environment nor let them attend school where the ESL students out number the English speakers.
Many states have issued drivers licenses, state ID's and social security cards.
🟢 Will all those documents be revoked?
🟢 Will there be a pathway to citizenship?
🟢 What if a US citizen married an illegal but never followed the citizenship process?
👆👆 A good friend of mine is a US citizen (born here) but he's had 4 kids with a woman from Guatemala. She doesn't speak English very well, doesn't drive and they don't wear wedding bands. They both work hard and contribute to their community, pay taxes and are raising the kids right.
Exactly where will the deportation line be drawn? 🤷♂️
During the 60s and 70s, it was simple: If you were here illegally and you were caught, you were deported. It did not matter if you had kids that were American etc. You could marry an American to keep from being deported, but immigration investigated the situation to make sure it was legit. I worked in an industrial park area in the 70's and would regularly see the immigration vans making raids on businesses. You would see people scatter, run through fields, jump out windows, etc. It was quite the spectacle. One problem then as now, not enough sanctions were placed upon the businesses that hired these people. That has to change. If there are no benefits or jobs for them, they won't come. If an employer is caught employing illegals, take away the employee tax exemption and place fines. Losing tax exemptions will usually result in things changing quickly. If we do not crack down on one of the biggest magnets that brings people here illegally, we will be fighting a losing battle.
You are right, I don't think there will be the political will to get the job done. In addition, unless the Congress reverses the power they handed over to the Federal Judiciary to make decisions in one state that can block or order actions nationally, nothing will change with regards to dealing with this problem. Anything the administration tries to do will be undone or blocked by some liberal judge. That is essentially why we are in this mess. A single Federal Judge can stop the entire process. Congress ceded power over to the courts so they wouldn't have to do the job we elected them to do. They can take that power back - but I doubt they will.
Take their benefits and freebies, identify them and take prints and blood, and then start them walking towards Texas. If they all supposedly walked from whatever shithole country to here, they can walk back. If you can point them all towards Texas we will make sure they keep going south. Just let us know so we can cancel our other appointments.
Ah, you sir, are you an illegal immigrant? Yes sir, just step through that door. Yes, the food will only last until you get back to the border. As they say in your homeland, Adios! Or whatever.

Love it.
"Free food for illegal immigrants!"
Ah, you sir, are you an illegal immigrant? Yes sir, just step through that door. Yes, the food will only last until you get back to the border. As they say in your homeland, Adios! Or whatever.
Its a drop in the bucket compared to the 100 million descendant anchor babies from the 80s and 90s.
