The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

[Booted]

There’s a crew of four Mexicans working on my landscaping today. They’re doing a great job. Hopefully ICE doesn’t show up. At least not until they’re finished.

Yeah, a while back I had a crew of Mexicans doing a project on my house. They did an excellent job and did it at slave wages. I hope ICE doesn't get those guys.

here is were it gets gray. If someone has been here for years, committed no crimes(other than that 1st) works, pays taxes, kids are in school. why not let them stay?

I am all for it, IF AND ONLY IF, we have already fixed the border issues that permitted them to get in in the first place. Otherwise, we just motivate more illegal crossings. I think most conservatives can sympathize with the illegals who are busting their ***** we just know what happens when you put the cart before the horse. Finish the wall and make sure it is truly secure. Get out as many troublemakers as you can and make sure going forward, we deport any newcomers immediately that cross illegally. Congress must act to strengthen the border laws, streamline the deportation system but at the same time seriously revamp the existing legal immigration system to make it more fair, quicker cheaper but at the same time safer. The hoops people have to jump through unnecessarily are ridiculous. I can't imagine even Trog would disagree with this, but he will. I think Tibs would be fine with it as long as you don't say Trump.

but what to do with the ones that have been here for a decade or more(arbritory timeframe I know) that have followed the rules, etc. I say let them stay and become citizens.

I am saying that, AFTER we finish stopping the inflow. Only then do we address those still here. I understand some may get sent back in the meantime and I feel for them, but it is unfortunate. Maybe the companies they worked for can also have an amnesty and have a program to sponsor them to come back if they were shipped out. The company would have to pay the costs.

I could support a NON CITIZEN residency program for those that have been here for at least 5 years with verification. The following rules would apply.

1. Must not have committed ANY crime other than illegal entry.
2. Taxes must be paid on ALL earnings.
3. $5000 fine for illegal entry, can be paid over 10 years @ 3% interest.
4. Will NEVER be eligible for US citizenship.
5. Can self deport and illegal entry will not be held against you towards applying for US Citizenship.
6. Will be counted on US Census, but the population will not count towards US House representation numbers.
7. Will not be eligible for any Federal assistance programs of any kind.
8. If attending a PUBLIC College, tuition will be charged a 20% surcharge.
9. Honorable Military service of 8 years will allow for US Citizenship application.
10. Any felony conviction AFTER entry into the program will result in immediate revocation of residency and subsequent deportation.
11. Any child born of parents with Non Citizenship US Residency will also be considered Non Citizenship US residents
12. Will not be able to vote in ANY Federal elections. Voting eligibility for State and local elections will be up to the State and local voters.
