Imigration in America

[kandrathe]

Decriminalize drug use and tax it like beer, wine, spirits and tobacco. But, criminalize smuggling anything across the border, just as you would beer, wine, spirits, guns, butter or tobacco.

Enact a strict mandatory 1 year jail term + $100,000 fine for the person hiring any worker without proper documentation. Plus, exact a similar fine to the company as a whole.

Enact the condition that any foreign alien who enters the US undocumented forever forfeits any possibility of legal immigration. First offense, gets you an all expenses paid ticket home. The second offense, costs you a year working for the government erecting the border fence, and each subsequent offense doubles the term.

Remove from the law the "born in America" clause, that was implemented after the Civil War to allow the former slaves babies citizenship.

Foreign workers must register and become documented at a US embassy in their country of origin. They must list their employment sponsor, and when approved will forward to the designated embassy the funds for their legal travel.

Or, maybe we should just mirror Mexico's "General Law of the Population"

1) We will prohibit anyone from entering the US if they upset "the equilibrium of the national demographics."
2) We will bar anyone from entering the US if they do not enhance US "economic or national interests", are found to be either physically or mentally unhealthy or show "contempt against national sovereignty or security."
3) We will bar anyone from entering the US if they have any criminal misdemeanor or felony convictions.
4) In order to register for citizenship, they must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own health care.
5) Illegal entry into the country is a felony punishable by two years' imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years' imprisonment. Foreigners at any time, at the governments discretion, can be kicked out of the country without due process or appeal.
6) Law enforcement officials at all levels -- by national mandate -- must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations.
7) The US military is also required to assist in immigration enforcement operations. US Citizens are empowered to make citizens' arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities for a reward.
8) A national alien tracking database with documents all tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens' identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.

Also remember that Mexico's legal system is based upon the Napoleonic system, where the accused stands guilty and must prove their innocence.

Literally, this makes no sense.

Think of all those 10 million potential voters... Think of all the bureaucrats groveling for their potential votes. Thus, you understand the politics of amnesty, and the nationwide relaxation of requirements to show photo Id at the polls.
