Round them up, document them through DNA, deport them and put them on a list to never be able to visit the U.S. and never have a chance at immigration regardless of their situation.
You enter the U.S. illegally or overstay your visa, then you get deported and put on a list to never be qualified to enter the U.S. ever again for any reason.
This is the only way to stop illegals from crossing the border or overstaying. Strict immigration policies that are final. Apply legally or get caught and banned for life.
Also ending birthright citizenship would greatly help. You can only attain citizenship through birth if both your parents can be documented as being in a legal status. No citizenship for offspring of illegals or tourists. This would solve China and Taiwan’s huge birth tourism scam.
You’re completely ignoring the demand side of the equation and focusing solely on the supply. That is not the only way to stop them.
There’s a reason they keep coming and it’s because companies need the labor and will continue to employ them. Anybody who has ever worked back of the house in the service industry will know employers turn a blind eye to illegal immigration because they need the labor.
I managed a kitchen and it was always a running joke that Jorge Velázquez’s social security card said Jeremy Smith. . There was no way I could get an American to work in a 110 degree heat behind a grill all day for $9/hr.
We either need an actual guest worker program like the Bracero Program through 1940s and 60s that brought farm workers from Mexico. Or we start punishing employers too.
Trump wants to end birthright citizenship. If he does Canada might become more popular.
If born in the USA just need one parent to be legal resident with green card. Not all parents are married and some are separated do not punish the children for this. Australia used to have birthright citizenship but changed that in August 1986. Yet here I was issuing tourist and student visa’s to pregnant tourists to go to Australia who didn’t know the law had changed lol.
There is already a guest worker program. Now if you want to claim the number of visa’s issued that’s one thing. People are fleeing poverty and crime from South American countries. They are not genuine refugees.
USA should make E verify mandatory to employ people.
Yeah people who don’t like to pay living wages prefer illegals cause they are cheap and they don’t care if they use someone else’s SS number or a fake one. You are just as complicit as the criminal’s who bring people into the USA in the first place.
Biden Harris have let in 10 - 15 million illegals since 2022. Better adjust those numbers of illegals which is probably closer to 10% of the US population.
H2A is dependent on the employer which leads to abuse by both workers and employers alike. Not exactly what I’m talking about.
Living wages for migrant workers who have accomodations provided for them is quite a bit different than immigrants who are relying on the private real estate market and local living costs. This is why I mentioned the Bracero program. Unless of course everyone wants to pay double, triple for strawberries or continue to allow a black market for labor to run rife.
