Immigration

Here are my thoughts on some work to solve the immigration issues across the United States today. This is not a complete answer, nor do I really expect it ever to be complete.
Before we begin, some definitions.:
Deportation in this sense is to mean, transported to the consulate of the home country and that consulate shall arrange immediate transportation back to their native land, with given regard to those who are seeking political asylum within the United States as allowed by our current laws and treaties.
“American-born family” in this sense includes parents, sisters, brothers, children and grandchildren, in whole or part.
“United States” refers to all States, the District of Columbia, and all territories and possessions of the United States of America.
“Employer” refers to any company, entity, or person doing business within the united States, it’s possessions or territories.

First, there should be a continuous effort to stop illegal border crossings. Mobilize the National Guard to provide much needed resources to the Border Patrol. Allow Border Patrol and National Guard unfettered access into all areas around the borders, (northern, southern; and all islands and territories/possessions of the United States), working to minimize ecological damage without reducing enforcement; and maintaining at all times an adequate level of force to reduce the number of illegal crossings. In all states, territories, and possessions, use the National Guard to support INS in unannounced, random visits to those types of companies that rely on undocumented or illegally documented workers, such as hotel, agriculture, manufacturing, packing/processing rents, plants, fast-food, convenience store and construction industries.

This is not a problem confined to the American mainland. There are factories (sweatshops) operating outside of American law in our possessions and territories. Therefore, these “U.S. P. & T.” areas should also be working on the same immigration laws. (The needed discussion of the working conditions in these U.S. P & T will need to be discussed at another time.) Second, require all employers to use E-Verify beginning today; establishing fast-track Federal judicial hearings for employers found to not be using E-Verify. A set of penalties need to be established, such as removing any federal, state or local business contracts and dealings with those companies that cannot prove total compliance with E-Verify. These penalties should have levels of increasing financial hardship on those companies refusing to comply with e-verify, up to and including highest levels of management denial. These penalties should include the possibility of in-home detention of management that condones and allows illegal hiring, as well as fines based upon the number of illegal hires. While I understand the argument that E-Verify is not a perfect system, it is a good strong logical beginning; it can be improved as situations arise that show cause for improvement.

But what to do when illegal immigrants are caught? Initial, immediate steps should include fingerprinting, DNA testing/recording, and photographing those individuals. Those caught at initial illegal entry should be immediately deported after these identifying steps have been taken. Those guilty of transporting humans illegally into this country should be subjected to trials for human trafficking, with federal penalties established and enforced. Traffickers should not be deported until they have been tried and punished in accordance with American laws. Concurrent human, drug and firearm trafficking should be tried and punished simultaneously, with maximum penalties invoked. Anyone requiring medical or hospitalization should be treated then deported. Children born to pregnant women intercepted at entry should not be granted American citizenship.

For those individuals found to be in the Untied States illegally for less than 3 years, but not caught when initially crossing the borders, humane and reasonable considerations should be given. If found, through the initial fingerprinting, DNA testing and photographs to have been linked to crimes committed while in the United States illegally, they should be tried; if found guilty, the individuals should punished according to American justice; the same justice as would be applied to any American citizen. Adults found not linked to crimes committed here, and who have no American-born children, should be deported immediately; those with American-born children should be given an opportunity to choose between family deportation and the ability to become naturalized American citizens within a set time period, while being on probation until said citizenship in established.
Those caught who have been here more than 3 years should be given a probationary time to become naturalized American Citizens. Reasonable credit and allowance should be given to those who have been in the service of the Untied States while here

How do we pay for this mass mobilization of resources to cover the subject? The fines imposed and collected from businesses failing to obey the laws of our country should be allocated to this effort. The balance will have to be come from taxes; however, when you raise the level of income by not allowing sub-standard wages to be paid, (as a result of the wage-earner being undocumented) you will raise the level of taxes being legally collected. Initially, however, this effort will be very costly to the American public. But it is the American Public who is raising this hue and cry over undocumented peoples.
Fines imposed for being inside American territory illegally are a subject of further discussion.
Could this draconian type measure work? Probably not without some tweaking; however it is at least an outline of a manner to stop the flow if illegal immigration. It is not a cure-all; and it is my belief this issue will be with the United States as long as we continue to be a free country.

I am looking forward to all comments!
