Thanks, but when the hell did previous administrations prioritize finding a solution to this problem?
I don't remember enough about the Carter nor the Regan administration to really opine but I certainly remember all of them since and ever single administration has been ridiculed at one time or another regarding their poor border protection practices.
Also, shutting down the border. I had in mind those arriving by plane as well. I really have no problem if they drastically curb the entrance of people form certain countries.
The income tax- or some extra tax for having caused such a hassle and the extra spending of government resources by having entered the country illegally. Call it a fine then?
3 strikes? You are too forgiving, most likely a better person than me.
You're advocating for a Berlin wall style border with our neighbors? Should we create a buffer zone and litter it with landmines as well, set up mortars and missiles and upgrade to NK/SK style border zone?
You seem to think illegal immigration is a huge issue whereas I do not. I've worked and have been around illegal immigrants most of my life (hang out in Chinatown). They don't take white collar jobs. They take jobs that natives don't wanna do because it is beneath their stature. They're out in the fields picking our veggies and fruits all day long under the sun for low wages. they generally don't buy nice clothes or fancy things and save every single penny they got. sometimes they have loved ones home and they send every spare money they can get. and most importantly they stay under the radar.
when my grandma slowly withered away from Alzheimer disease we hired an old Chinese lady illegal immigrant to take care of her. Nice sweet old lady who didn't speak a lick of English and was essential a nanny for hire for Chinese people. She wheels around a small luggage with all her belongings and looks for nanny jobs in Chinatown. All the money she makes she sends back to her family in China. My mother and I bumped into her not too long ago and my mom gave her a small gift of money for Chinese New Year.
Most of them are people who just want to live a better life.
