I am a strong advocate of controlling our border. The USA began to build a three wall fence along the Mexican Border but then went no further.
We can spend tens of millions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet have no money to continue this fence any further? This makes no sense.
The Federal Government in Washington, D. C. appears to lack the will to secure our border. This is the true source of this huge problem
we have in our country.
Deal is, we must stop all of this illegal immigration into the USA. If this illegal immigration continues into the USA, this country simply
cannot absorb and absorb more and more and more persons without significant erosion of our entire society.
For those illegal immigrants now here, what do we do? IF we just "round up" such persons and then ship such persons back to South America, with no border control here many of these persons will simply return again. We do not have the resources of prison space and all the costs that incarceration incurs to lock up so many more of these persons.
Yet by demanding to see documents of legality to be here at will, this is arbitrary and capricious. It does not address the issue of more and
more illegal immigrants crossing our border as well as those illegal immigrants here living "on the sly" and in "the shadows."
I do not know the solution to all of this other than to continue that three layer wall along our border to significanty reduce illegal entry here.
We then need to have an ID system where everyone who applies for a job here or has a job here shows evidence of their properly being here.
This is organized and comprehensive vs abitrarily demanding to "see papers" and would be much more effective in the long run.
IF a person cannot demontrate they are here legally, then have a way they can become a U S Citizen through citizenship education.
Get such persons into our system so they can help support their presence here AND pay their fair share of taxes.
For those who refuse or become bad actors, then off such persons go back to their country of origin. With a wall built, maintained and
manged by boots on the ground and by surveillance above with technology, we can begin to get a handle on all of this.
D C needs to legislate a comprehensive plan to deal with this massive issue of illegal immigration. This is the message that I
send our representatives there, and if more of us did this, we would stand a better chance of making headway on this very serious issue.
I really would like to hear how those of you who are likewise very concerned as I am about illegal immigraton here, what are
your ideas about COMPREHENSIVELY addressing it?
