“The implementation of the Attorney General’s zero-tolerance policy comes as the Department of Homeland Security reported a 203 percent increase in illegal border crossings from March 2017 to March 2018, and a 37 percent increase from February 2018 to March 2018—the largest month-to-month increase since 2011.”
Congress has Responsibility
Illegal Immigration has many costs
At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.
Lost of life, many Americans have been killed by illegal immigrants. Many thousands have been killed by the smuggling of Fentanyl
Asylum
Refugee Act of 1980
“In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the need for a change in American policy concerning refugees became apparent as hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and Cambodians fled political chaos and physical danger in their homelands. Between 1975 and 1979, some 300,000 of these refugees were able to come to the United States through Presidential action, as the law at the time restricted refugee admissions. Seeing this, many members of Congress wanted to establish a more regular system of immigration and resettlement that would establish a clear and flexible policy.”
Opinion
Our government has caused a immigration crisis and need to be held accountable. Voters need to show their disapproval at the ballot box.
LONG TERM SOLUTION:
Work with Central America countries to improve their manufacturing capabilities of important products we are now receiving from China. Goal would be to improve working opportunities in these countries to reduce the need to flee to the US. Improve these countries overall economy and standard of living while reducing our dependence on China.
SHORT TERM SOLUTION:
1. Announce border is closed and illegals will be prosecuted.
2. Use US Military to prevent illegals from entering country.
3. Build housing – working penitentiary – complex at the border for illegals immigrants. Illegal immigrants would spend their sentenced time working to build complex and/or wall along the Mexico United States border. With a completed sentence and good behavior there would be a path for citizenship to the US. Other illegals in the US would be encouraged to turn themselves in, serve their sentence and have a path to citizenship.
ACTION
Contact your Congressman and the President, let them know you are dissatisfied and action needs to be taken.
