If I were in another country illegally I would be jailed because my presence in that country, without papers, would be an illegal act. I find it disgusting that we need to let people of other countries flood the USA without regard for our laws. Personally, if you're going to come to the USA I think there should be an application process where the applicant needs to prove they're not going to be a burden on our system or culture; they should learn our language, customs and accept that.
I think the way to solve the problem, as others have stated, is to make it less appealing for immigrants coming to this country illegally... but, I think we should punish both the illegals and the companies that employ them.
1) Heavily fine companies that knowingly hire illegal immigrants.
2) Law enforcement should detain, process and deport any illegals found in this country through non-discriminatory acts; civil suits, traffic stops, seeking public aid, etc. If a person is caught here illegally they no longer have the chance to gain legal citizenship. Subsequent violations of this law will result in imprisonment.
3) Offer a reward for any person who can tip off the authorities about companies hiring illegals or the locations of illegal boarding. (Think of it as a bounty handled similarly to a crime or federal fraud tip-line.)
4) Make a more secure northern and southern border, similar to the borders between North and South Korea.
5) Use the National Guard to enforce border defense and give them the power to temp. detain individuals suspected of crossing the border until authorities can arrive.
6) Make English the National Language.
7) Only grant citizenship to a set number of most qualified applicants each year; most qualified would help ensure we're getting people who are educated, able to contribute, knowledgeable about our history, culture and most importantly, can speak our damn language.
Theres already an app process, but theres also refugee status.
N/S korea are at WAR. And besides, its more the north not letting people out than the south not letting them in. the south is happy to help their neighbors, its just hard for them to get there.
Wouldnt that be turnign neighbor against neighbor type of thing...? just giving an incentive for people to be nosey and wouldnt help much IMO
Isnt english already your national language?
You already do that. Most of the points you brought up are already in effect to some degree.
