I will give my ideas on the subject, so remember this is my opinion.
1. First and foremost, the government should crack down damn hard on people that employ illegal immigrants. Verified Status immediately.
2. We should have active survelliance along with state organized/federally funded patrols that deal with people humanly but swiftly.
3. Birthright citizenship should be eliminated by non-citizens parents.
4. Foreign worker visa program needs to be expanded and additional responsibilities placed on employers to ensure compliance.
5. No federal or state aid to foreign workers or their families, unless they are paying their flat local tax and federal taxes.
6. 25% federal tax on all money earned. 15% State tax on all money earned. Both without SS benefits, both without the possibility to get that money returned. You make $100 dollars, fed gets 25 and the state gets $15. Period.
7. Any felony, you and your entire family is gone and none can re-enter unless there is an appeal to the immigration court. The person convicted is never allowed in the country again.
8. Any person caught bipassing this system, will be banned for 10 years and subject to a felony if entering the country again illegally.
9. Any person smuggling someone in, felony.
10. If they pay their taxes, do not break the law, and complete public service requirements, they can earn their way to citizenship over 8 years.
That is fair, doesn't waste our citizen's tax dollars, and provides a way for the well behaved future citizens to get to citizenship.
