I don't care about illegal immigration to the extent of most here, especially if they are at least trying to make a better life


Believe it or not, I'm almost with you on this. Trump isn't going to deport all illegals; I think he has even alluded to that recently.

At a minimum, I want the bad guys out of here. Secondly, going forward I want America to determine how we handle the matter of LEGAL immigration.

For example, let's say that Trump, in various & assundry ways, manages to substantially reduce immigration. Then, there's the matter of the people already here. Who gets to stay? Who has to go? We need to determine how to handle that. Maybe we could set a date. Anybody who can prove they were in the country before that date, and has a clean record, can stay. Anybody who can't prove it has to go.

But Regardless, the "policy" we've had isn't worth a damn. This matter should not be decided by how many people can simply cross the border and make it to a safe location. America has to take control of our southern border.

That's the way I see It, anyway.

I don't know why an economics approach can't be implemented. There is a supply, demand, and some sort of objective value to be it all on. People can apply for citizenship, and then whether through public service, a type of payroll taxes, etc. they can pay off the value, with their labor and/or currency.

Maybe have various tiers to work through with added privileges and/or benefits. And obviously this would be contingent on lawful behavior.

In other words, incentivize people to work and make a life for themsleves while obeying the law. Then they can focus enforcement on those who don't abide, rather than the larger group.
