I am not an expert on immigration. But neither are the vast majority of our politicians who are expected to enact laws on immigration. There are some common sense (to me) actions that would address the problem of the massive movement of illegals to our southern border. One of my friends asked me how would I deal with the crisis. Here are my ideas. Please tell me where I am wrong and how to fix it.
Suggestions on illegal immigration:
Provide pathway to citizenship to the “Dreamers”
End citizenship for children born in the country to noncitizens
Require work permits for all able bodied adults
Deport those without work permits
Deport “got-aways”
Provide an easier pathway to citizenship to legal immigrants
Provide financial support to communities on the border
Require visas for entry at border (obtained through US Embassies or consulates)
Return all unaccompanied minors to their home country
Reinstitute ICE removals
Tie aid to foreign countries to assistance with illegals migrating from those countries
Reinstitute remain in Mexico policy
End catch and release and replace it with catch and deport
End the hearings where illegals are held in detention for 20 days and then released with a hearing date
Require those with visas and work permits to renew or be deported
I know that some will say that this will result in profiling where those who look foreign will be required to prove that they are legal, resulting in harassment of Latinos and people of color. It will be akin to my being pulled over for driving while black (DWB). I admit this bothers me but the alternative bothers me more.
By the way, the photo was taken by me in during a hunting trip to Eagle Pass, TX
