Question

If you were President, what would you do about illegal immigration? ?

Answer 1

ohhhhh, my pet peev. Here is the thing, where i work every summer we have them, and every summer they come back with different names. They not only don't speak english (i think they do more then they lead on) but they want us to learn spanish. It upsets me and I don't think they should be here. We have enough hunger and homeless and now we are paying to support them too. The President who ever he should be has to send them packing.

Answer 2

Round them up,deport them and close the border. First time you're caught here illegally you serve time on a chain gang, 2nd offense is 10 years in tent city. 3rd time you're out,mandatory life with hard labor to repay all the debt and harm caused by illegal aliens. The prison terms would also apply to anyone aiding and abetting.

Answer 3

Have a mass deportation immediately, dont care where they go they just have to leave the US. They can always come back legally.

Answer 4

I wouldn't put them right back over the same border they came across. I'd round them up and place them in confinement in Brownsville, TX till I had enough to fill a ship and then take them on a one-way trip to a VERY SOUTHERN 'Port-of-Entry' into Mexico. Now let them walk back!

Answer 5

i would probably just sumbit a law to the other branch and then enforce the law of before getting a house  u neeed to show a card or certificate stating how legal u are. also only legal immagrants and citizens can enroll in school

tghink about it- if someone wants to become a hobe n amerca over a housed person in thier native country, let em

Answer 6

What the President should do is order that all the existing laws for making it illegal for anyone to hire an illegal should be rigorously enforced.  Because if there were no jobs for illegals, they would go back where thay came from. They only come here because they know they will find a job. There is no need for all the border security, considering that half came here legally on a short term visa and simply overstayed their visa. Yes, our government actually let half of them walk through a border crossing.

What I would do though is what Bush has done and take the bribes (campaign contributions) from the big employers like big construction companies and meat packing plants, and cut back the work place law enforcement and do a big phoney light and mirrors show by building a useless fence. Because I know the red state voters will mistake border enforcement for real action.  

Answer 7

Line the borders with tanks.

Enforce the law.

No more free health care by using ER rooms.

Get a law passed where everyone must report them or be fined $5,000.

If you rent to them $10,000 fine.

If you hire them $50,000 fine.

No place to live or work, problem solved!

Answer 8

The same thing that Disney would do if everyone jumped over the walls and came in - try to stop them and throw out the ones who are in.

For the US, this would entail having more troops at the borders to reduce the number who cross in, and aggressively arresting those who are here and deport them.

Unfortunately the politicians view a permissive policy on illegals as being beneficial to them because when illegals get the privilege to vote, they support policies for more illegals...

Answer 9

Do everything in my power to enforce our laws.

Answer 10

If the illegal immigrant already had a job and were paying taxes and could prove it then I would grant them asylum and have them pay a tax of $5000 as a fine for not going through the correct ways to immigrate.  I would only oust the ones who were hiding out and breaking the laws by robbing and stealing and doing other outrageous things.  There are too many already in the country to do it any other way.  It is a situation that has been allowed to fester and now a more practical solution is needed.  

Answer 11

I would expect all immigrants to be gainfully employed, and enrolled in an English class, and doing everything they need to be doing to support themselves.

They should follow the same laws as we who were born here, and absolutely no social security until they had also paid in the full amount of time.

Any that feel this isn't enough would get imediate deportation.

Answer 12

Prove you are in this country legally or be deported to try to enter again per our federal laws.

Answer 13

Bring all the troops home, build a fence on both borders, and shoot anyone trying to get across illegally!

Answer 14

What Would Chuck Norris Do?  That's the matter...

Answer 15

Mr. MLK, how's deporting mexicans keeping the dream alive?

MLK Wanted equality for all and and it's a shame that someone it's using his name and his image to write comments against other races.

Answer 16

opposition to this answer is to makes ties with neighboring country, why do they put the blame to the poors, every good indian is a bad indian

Answer 17

There are only a couple things the president can do;

1. Order the Attorney General to enforce, to the letter of the law, all immigration laws that are on the books.  This includes VIGOROUS enforcement against employers.

2. Issue a National Security Finding that drug trafficking on the Southern Border presents a clear and present danger to the security of the United States.  Based on the finding I'd order the Department of Defense, Justice Department, FBI, CIA and all federal agencies to do whatever it takes to seal the border for the purpose of shutting down the flow of narcotics (and illegal aliens too, indirectly).

Answer 18

I would deport them all. I would not take the time to listen to why they chose to disregard our laws. I will put in place laws that would punish employers for hiring them, and landlords for renting to them. I would also bring a end to any sanctuary city. Then finally make it a law that all state business would be conducted in English, and any interpreter would need to be hired  by the individual and not the state.

Deport illegals, and keep the dream alive.
