What do you think is a solution to our illegal immigration problem?

I have two solutions in mind that I deem to be acceptable solutions.

The first is that we must start by securing the borders (north and south) in whatever way is needed; be it increased patrols, more officers, a fence, an electronic fence, etc. I think that minefields would be a good option for the most desolate areas. Yes, I'm aware that minefields are against international law, and I don't care.

Then, Congress must pass a law making it a felony to enter or reside in this country illegally.

Then, we allow a certain amount of time, 90 days for example, for all illegal aliens residing in this country to register as illegals. At this time they will then undergo any necessary judicial preceding that then results in them being convicted felons. However, during this time period the illegal aliens that register will not be arrested, deported, imprisoned, etc. and they get to stay. However, their punishment is that they are convicted felons and any residual effects along with this background; such as, not being allowed to vote, regardless of citizenship. I'm not even sure if felons can become citizens?

Any illegal found after this grace period is to be arrested, prosecuted, and deported.

My second solution is my preferred one. The first two steps are the same as above. However, the final step is to find, detain, and deport all illegal aliens in this country.

    Secure the border

    Let those included under Obmas EO to become legal but never a citizen, require they pay a fine equal to $1000 per year they have illegally lived here, that's per person

    Then mass deportation of those thst are left

    If "securing the border" was as easy as saying it, don't you think we would have done it by now? We're spending more than we ever have, and we have more border patrol staff than ever. It's being worked on - it's a big undertaking.

    And no, mine fields are not a good idea.

    Very unrealistic. First, we need the workforce. Second, enforcing the border (3000 miles with Mexico alone) would be hideously expensive and bankrupt the country. Third, you cannot be serious about blowing up actual people, and I seriously hope you don't claim to be pro-life!

    It will never be solved. A different thinking on the part of voters is what would be required, and that will not happen.

    People don't realize that resources are finite, but they will one day... when it's too late.

    Not sure but I can tell you what the answer "isnt". Dumping 5 to 10 million illegals into our welfare system is just a disaster.

    Remember that such fences also keep people in and under control/

    We must simply enforce our laws, and illegals won't come.

    yeah i agree with your ideas personally if they see someone trying to sneak in they should just shoot at them for a warning and if they dont leave shoot them in the leg or somthing like that its getting out of hand. all these tv shows can show it
