IMO most people have accepted the fact that we can not possibly deport all of the illegal immigrants in this country. What we can and must do is change immigration laws, however, because of the Racism industry reform of immigration laws can nst seem to be discussed in any way shape or form without people endeavoring to change the laws being labeled as racists.
Part of the changes that need to be made include finding a fairly fair way of including those who are already here and desire to be citizens, at some time, a way to be inluded in the line of legal immigrants. However, that way should in no way reward illegales for "cutting in line". On top of the regular fees that immigration requirs, they need to pay some kind of penalty for violating the law.
We can need to deport those that have made a life out of breaking the laws of this country and tend to populate our prisons.
Only the un-informed believes that we have to deport all of the millions of illegals. First of all, I don't see why some believe in the "all or nothing" plan where we either deport ALL of them, or don't deport them at all. We can deport them as we find them (more on that later).
In the 1950's, under Eisenhower, the US had "Operation ****" which deported 80,000 illegals, and 500,00 to 700,000 left on there own (out of fear of deportation). Here is a link for those who never heard of it: OW LINK
The same thing is happening today but at a lower scale because the crackdowns on illegals is not nationwide. For example, no other city in TX has deported more illegals than Irving, which is in Dallas county. They are in the "24/7 Criminal Alien Program", a program from ICE. That one town has deported more than 1,600 in one year and they do not go hunting for illegals like some believe they do. If you are pulled over for speeding and don't have documentary or are taken to jail because of theft and you are illegal, you will be deported.
Because of that and raids in some factories, tens of thousands have left out of fear. That may not sound like a lot, but if all states enforced the rule of law we can deport many and "scare" others into leaving.
What does illegal immigration cost TX alone?:
quote:
The more than $4.7 billion in costs incurred by Texas taxpayers annually result from outlays in the following areas:
* Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Texas and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Texans spend more than $4 billion annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings. About 11.9 percent of the K-12 public school students in Texas are children of illegal aliens.
* Health Care. Taxpayer-funded medical outlays for health care provided to the state’s illegal alien population amount to about $520 million a year.
* Incarceration. The uncompensated cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Texas’s state and county prisons amounts to about $150 million a year (not including local jail detention costs or related law enforcement and judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
