I've thought of this topic quite a bit since November 8th and I think that this whole illegal immigration issue is a lot more simple than we realize. Government can do something very simple, Constitutional AND hard for Dems to argue against:
Other than basic police services and TRUE emergency care, NOTHING will be provided for illegal immigrants using taxpayers money.....NOTHING. NO WELFARE, no unemployment, no scholarships, no food stamps! Pass that in one simple law, and watch how quickly the masses return to their homes. We are STUPID when it comes to letting massive numbers "game" our systems!
I've got students on "free and reduced books" that leave school for 1-2 months over this time of year while they return "home" to build massive homes in Mexico from all the cash they make here by gaming our beurocratic nightmare!
If they are willing to stay here on their OWN dime, without handouts, then they're probably the kind we would want to allow to become citizens after getting in line and following some process and actually "registering" in some way; and having a easy to spot drivers license that requires "bonding" with cash so that they can't forge "auto insurance" coverage like the one that hit my wife awhile back.
