[quote=Anonymous]I think there are tough but humane ways you can deal with illegal immigration. You have to attack everything that makes illegal immigration appealing in order to stop it.  Address the fundamental root of the problems, and no need for all of the billions of dollars down the drain to employ Nazis, build concentration camps, and tear apart the constitution.

You have to make it unbearable or nearly impossible to live in the US illegally. Once you do that, illegal immigration will stop on its own.

1) Require all employers to prove I9 verification and have e-verify, period.  If they cannot match revenue streams and income with an amount of labor that makes sense because they’re hiring illegal immigrants under the table, it should be $100,000 fines for every offense, or jail time if they can’t pay. Enough is enough. E-verify, period.

2) Require legal residency to obtain housing.  Every single landlord should be required to obtain proof of legal residency before they are allowed to rent a property to an individual.  If they violate the law, seize their property or massive fines.

3) Heavily tax overseas remittances after 2 or 3 transactions, unless legitimate purposes can be verified.  Many illegal immigrants earn money in the US to send home and then just return home.  Impose steep taxes on remittances that make it almost not worthwhile at all.

4) Prohibit all states from allowing licenses and auto insurance to be obtained for anyone that cannot provide proof of legal residency.  Make car ownership also impossible without proof of legal residency.  If you make it harder to commute to jobs, it will also thwart motivation for coming to the US illegally.

5) Prohibit enrollment in schools.  This one is very controversial and would require constitutional amendments, but if you prevent undocumented individuals from enrolling in our schools, you remove huge motivation for people to come to the US illegally.

6) Prevent anyone without legal residency from being able to open up a bank account or payment apps. Proof of legal residency also needs to be required to cash any checks.  If you make it impossible to use the banking system and make it very difficult to obtain money, it is almost impossible to live in the US.

Of course these are rough ideas that need refinement.  The point is that you have to make life, very difficult to nearly impossible for anyone who arrives here illegally. Even if they slip through, their life is going to be difficult because the country has built in mechanisms to make life in the US untenable.

Remove all the incentives to come to the US illegally and people stop coming.  None of the cruelty is required.
