This would be a Huge mistake, unless, the government takes some steps to stop illegal immigration. So, Here are My ideas.
1.) Change the 14th amendment. This was added to the constitution after slavery was abolished to ensure that former slaves would have constitutional rights as Americans, and,so that their descendants would be American citizens automatically. Last time I checked, all former slaves are long since dead. Ireland was having the same kind of problem with "Anchor Babies" as we do now, their solution was to change the rules.
Now, in order to be born as an Irish citizen, your parents must be either Naturally born citizens,naturalized citizens,or, LEGAL permanent Residents that have been LEGAL for 5 years or more. If we adopted this plan we would no longer have the issue of anchor babies.
2.) Force ALL Employers to utilize the "E-verify system", currently there are many companies that don't use this system and still hire Illegals, yet, the "official Unemployment rate is somewhere around 10 percent, my wife is a naturalized citizen from Mexico, we Have a lot of friends from Central & South America. I couldn't tell you which ones are here legally (It's not polite to ask your friends questions like that.) or not. I can tell you that almost all of them (90%+) have jobs, Most of the people that I know that don't have jobs are white or black and are Americans.
3.) Check Citizenship status for Housing and, or, Government Benefits.
If we force landlords, mortgage companies/lenders to verify Citizenship (using E-verify) then many Illegals would, quite possibly, leave on their own. In the matter of government benefits, these would be used like this: A family of five( mom, dad,3 kids ) has two kids that were born in the U.S., their Benefits would be based on two people, not on five, because only two are american citizens. This would save the government(That means all of us!!) Billions of tax dollars.
4.) Deport all Illegals that are arrested.
Many cities(Denver is one of them.) have declared themselves as "Sanctuary Cities and have told their law- enforcement people that They may not question the citizenship status of anyone that they stop or have any professional involvement with. there are many people here whose only crime is that they are here illegally, they work hard, keep to themselves and generally are pretty good people. There is another class of illegal here that are always trying to pull scams, commit crimes(dui, dwi, fraud, Identity theft, fighting, robberies and more.) These particular people give everyone of their race, whatever it is, a generally bad( and often undeserved.) reputation, they were usually losers at home and they are losers here in the U.S.
when someone commits a crime and they are caught, their status should be questioned. Obviously, the good people that are here aren't going to be arrested if they're not committing crimes, If they already have a place to live and a job ( Remember item # 3.??) then they should be ok. The Criminals should be fingerprinted, DNA sampled, blood sampled etc..., this information could be put into the national criminal database and kept even after they're deported(after they've served their sentence of course!) if they come back to the U.S. and are caught again, then they should have a nice long sentence( and no bail, probation, or, parole.) 5 years for the first time(more for every time that they get caught coming back again.) etc...
Eventually, the criminal element from other countries would get the message and would either leave on their own, or, not come here at all.
Rounding up all illegal immigrants and deporting them is just an implausible pipe dream that some people( I'm not one of them!) have, however, getting rid of the bad guys is totally doable if the government would PAY ATTENTION!!. next part, we'll talk about paying for all of this, have a nice day!! see you on the beach!!
