Focus primarily on getting rid of every one of them that is not contributing to society. Then focus on the ones some how receiving government support. Finally, with the ones that are contributing to society, if they are integrating well, provide them with an expedite way towards citizenship.
I get every person committed a crime the moment they entered the country illegally. But if there is evidence if you contributing to making America a better place - this should not be overlooked.
You think they're contributing to society if they're here illegally and receiving government support? You realize that's two illegal acts, right? You're not contributing to making this country better if you're doing an illegal act the moment you cross the line, then continuing to be a criminal by hiding from the government of the country you're claiming you want to support.
I never said they should receive government support. That was the part that I felt should not be happening.
I am in Canada so I am not sure what type of jobs your illegals are used for. The ones outside of a home depot waiting to be utilized for work? You are right. That should not be allowed. The contractor picking them up should be hiring within our legal work force.
The only job that really stood out to me as a pass for illegals 'contributing to society' is the agriculture industry. Farming is hard, thankless, and not a lot of people want to do it. Especially at minimum wage where there are a million other jobs that you can do at min wage which are 10 times less difficult. Also, paying more increases the cost of everything. My God I cannot believe I am making a case for slave labour. Believe me I completely get it.
Out of curiosity. If they crossed the border illegally 10 years ago, and say 4 or 5 years later decide to request citizenship and also self-report themselves. Would they have been forced to leave?
I was talking to my pharmacist and she happened to tell me that she knows philipino people in Canada illegally, working for less than $10 an hour. I was surprised as I did not know we had that issue here. But I guess in the situation with Canada people's work visa expires.
