How to reduce
Illegal entry
Without a barrier

THE SOCIALISTS (A/K/A DEMOCRATS) TURN A BLIND EYE to illegal immigrants, a/k/a “criminals.”

They fought “Trump’s Wall” — but not Obama’s on Mexico’s southern border — and they set up “sanctuary cities” where Immigration officers dare not enter for fear of their lives.

But there IS a way to reduce the flow of illegals.

 

ARREST THEIR EMPLOYERS and send them to jail after a hefty fine.

Illegals don’t come to the U.S. to vacation.

Illegals don’t come to the U.S. for the educational systems.

They DO come to the U.S. for welfare.

They DO to the U.S. for free medical care.

They DO come to the U.S. for jobs.

Keep it simple

If a person hires an illegal when there are citizens available and willing to do the work — at the state’s minimum wage or greater — arrest the employer.

If a person fails to find a citizen willing to do the work — at the state’s minimum wage or greater — then the prospective employer needs to turn to the Immigration office and request an appropriate visa for a non-citizen employee (and family, if any).

Businesses do it all the time. Look at all the “programmers” from the Indian sub-continent. Look at all the farm workers from Mexico and elsewhere. Many foreign companies install managers from their own country. Examples include Japan and Israel. These managers have U.S.-issued visas.

No knock ID check

Immigration officers need the ability to check workers’ identification.

If the worker has

    Birth certificate issued in the U.S.
    Naturalization document issued by the U.S. federal government, or
    Visa issued by the U.S. federal government for the work being performed
then the worker is legal.

If the worker fails to have one of the three items above, the Immigration officer will

    Ask if the worker has a spouse in the U.S. and where can the spouse be located
    Ask the worker if he/she has minor children in the U.S. and where can the children be located.

The idea is to maintain family integrity — to keep families together as a unit.

Immigration will take the worker (and any family members) into custody and house them in a secure facility — a BRAC-closed military installation with on-base family and bachelor quarters is appropriate — until the illegals can be deported.

Meanwhile

Meanwhile, the illegal’s employer will be billed for

    The illegal’s medical bills
    The cost of housing, feeding, and clothing the illegals in custody (at the published standard domestic Federal Per Diem Rate)
    The cost of education based on the state’s per student costs

The employer also will be arrested, brought to trial, and, if found guilty, fined for a first violation and jailed if the employer is a recidivist. The fines and jail terms must be sufficient to discourage repeat offenses.

Deportation hearings

All illegals will be allowed — they are not “entitled” — a hearing.

If they can convince a hearing board that they are endanger if returned to the country from which them emigrated, the government will offer a reasonable alternative destination. The alternative destination will match, as closely as possible, the immigrant’s culture; e.g., a Spanish-speaking illegal would be deported to a Spanish-speaking country if the illegal claims he/she fears for his/her life if returned to the country of origin.

Had the illegal immediately sought asylum in the U.S. this hearing might have been avoided.

An illegal from Mexico could be sent to, as an example, Argentina — assuming that Argentina is willing to accept the illegal.

The U.S. taxpayer will foot the bill for the illegals’ deportations.

Since the taxpayers deserve the “economies of scale,” deportees will travel in groups by whatever means are suitable for the trip; e.g., a bus back to Mexico, an airplane to South America.

As noted above, as long as the illegal is in custody, the illegal’s employer will be billed at the published standard domestic Federal Per Diem Rate.

Inhumane, draconian? Hardly

At no time will an illegal be

    Deprived of a hearing before an Immigration court
    Deprived of housing, medical care, clothing, food, education for children
    Separated from family members

The illegals shall be photographed and fingerprinted and placed on a Cannot Enter list for not less than 5 years. This move is to allow people who are legally applying for immigration to move ahead without someone “cutting in line.”

Quotas and “anchor babies”

Congress and the President need to re-examine the infamous Quota System that favors the countries from which the original European settlers originated.

The quota system and the whims of the politicians once banned Chinese immigrants when their cheap labor no longer was needed (to build the railroad). FDR ordered his State Department to use the quota system to send Jews to their deaths from 1936 until his death.

WHAT to do about quotas: keep them, revise them to reflect current conditions, or abandon them altogether in favor of (a) asylum seekers and (b) (as Canada does) the needs of the country.

Personally, I would like to see a law that prohibits citizenship-by-birth to any child born to parents who failed to reside in the U.S. for a minimum of two uninterrupted years before the birth. That would eliminate the “anchor baby” problem.

This scrivener has no problem welcoming legal immigrants. This country is what it is today because of immigrants.

Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
