The Illegal Immigration Debate has created a host of sound bites, designed as appeals to emotion.
The most incredulous one I have found was in a clip of an article in the DesMoines Register in a post by Buster Blocker of InMuscatine entitled Illegal isn’t Illegal
parents would be ripped away from young children
Oh PLEASE! What is this? The Rugrat Defense? If having parents ripped away from young children were a valid Defense against being convicted of a crime and/or, having to endure the consequences, wouldn't Lawyers have the little darlings lined up in court in every case?
This polemic has as much validity as the "Twinkie Defense"?\ of yore.
Both are bogus but this last has much more pathos.
Oh PLEASE don't rip me away from my Parents!
Now don't you feel, hardhearted, mean spirited and guilty?
Give me a break! No one wants to rip the children of Illegal Aliens away from them. They can go back with the Parents. Yes I know that some have been born here and are US Citizens by the back door.
It is too bad that is not one of the things that can be stripped from them as being the result of an Illegal Act, but in any case MANY aliens enter this country with their children and return to their Country of Origin with them, they are called tourists.
The other sound bite heard most is
We can't deport 12 Million People
Why can't we? I will stipulate rounding up 12 million people and deporting them is a daunting task, but who says it all has to be done at once?
They did not enter the country all at once did they?
We can deport them as they entered in small manageable lots. It is going to take time but we can go about the task in a planned manner with incentives to obey our Laws.
I will accept a Quest Worker Program with some of the Amnesty provisions removed.
Registration of an Illegal Alien for the Guest Worker Program should NOT have a track to Citizenship, a track to Citizenship should require application from another Country. OK you are here, you can work, we require registration, but if you want to start the process for Citizenship? You follow all the rules that all the LEGAL Resident Aliens had to follow.
For this process to work it must include something that has been avoided before, real teeth in the Laws governing hiring and aiding Illegal Aliens.
Actually despite a lot of misleading by the media and the Pro=Illegal Alien lobby, we have such Laws.
All the needs doing is enforcing them and telling Congress HANDS OFF No more forcing Immigration Officers to retire early for doing their job!!
So where do we start? Well we have to start somewhere so how about Maine and then start sweeping across the map in a structured manner.
If an Alien registers? They can get a Guest Workers Permit, If a Business Registers and has a list of employees that need registered? They do not go to Prison, their business does not get confiscated and auctioned off to support the Immigration Expenses.
Businesses who need to register, and Aliens who need to register are to report to the Local Law Authority. Sheriffs Depts Police Dept etc, BEFORE Immigration Enforcement arrives on the scene. After is too late.
Any Municipality that decides it wants to be a Sanctuary City etc forfeits ALL Federal Financial Aid to start.
When the North East Section has been processed up to the headwaters of the Ohio, we accelerate the Process.
There is a section of the Country now bounded by the Ohio and the Mississippi that can only be exited via a bridge. We interdict the bridges, checking for IDs and Driver Licenses.
When the Northern Eastern Section has been swept in it's entirety we do the same for the South East placing document checkpoints on the Bridges of the Mississippi, after which we sweep the Western States starting with the Northern ones.
At any time in this process Illegal Aliens can turn themselves in for Registration and be returned to thei Countries of Origin and begin the process for legal entry including being on the track to Citizenship, or they can sign up for a Guest Workers Program which does not include a track to Citizenship, though they can return to their Native Land at any time to start being processed as a Resident Alien in the track to Citizenship.
Business have until Immigration Enforcement arrives on the scene to report for Registration, Cities and Counties that choose to be Sanctuaries lose ALL Federal Aid and the Officials responsible for those decisions can be prosecuted for aiding and abetting.
Private Citizens who aid and abet Illegal Aliens to evade the Law can also be prosecuted.
None of the above will be of any lasting effect without vast improvement of Border Enforcement.
All these things can be done if the Citizens of America choose to.
