How to Solve the Illegal Immigration Problem

undefinedRepublican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s recent speech on immigration really missed the point. I understand Trump’s frustration over the US government’s inability to control the US borders and keep out those who would come to this country illegally. Trump was right that the media ignore legitimate questions we have on our immigration policy and he is right that special interests have a great interest in maintaining the status quo.

However when it comes to really solving the immigration problem he gets it all wrong. And instead of making us more free and prosperous, his solutions will accelerate our downward slide toward authoritarianism.

First let’s consider his idea of building a big wall between the US and Mexico. It is said that all one needs to get over an eight foot fence is a nine foot ladder. Or perhaps a shovel. So walls are never very good at keeping people out. But they are very good at keeping people in. Just ask the East Germans. The communist government claimed in 1961 that it had to build a wall around the portion of Berlin it controlled to keep the population safe from the evil capitalist wreckers and saboteurs. It didn’t take long for the world to realize that the real threat to the East German leaders was that the people trapped in East Berlin would try to get out. We have all seen the horrific videos of East German civilians risking – and losing – their lives to escape that prison of razor wire and cinder block.

Is this really what we want for our own future?

What a wild conspiracy theory, some may claim. The wall would never be meant to keep us from leaving. Well ask the IRS. Under a tax enforcement provision passed in 2015, the US government claimed the right to cancel any American citizen’s passport if Washington claims it is owed money.

Trump also made E-Verify the center of his immigration speech. He said, “We will ensure that E-Verify is used to the fullest extent possible under existing law, and we will work with Congress to strengthen and expand its use across the country.”

While preventing those here illegally from being able to gain employment may appeal to many who would like to protect American jobs, E-Verify is the worst possible solution. It is a police state non-solution, as it would require the rest of us legal American citizens to carry a biometric national ID card connected to a government database to prove that the government allows us to work. A false positive would result in financial disaster for millions of American families, as one would be forced to fight a faceless government bureaucracy to correct the mistake. Want to put TSA in charge of deciding if you are eligible to work?

The battle against illegal immigration is a ploy to gain more control over our lives. We are supposed to be terrified of the hoards of Mexicans streaming into our country and thus grant the government new authority over the rest of us. But in fact a Pew study found that between 2009 and 2014 there was a net loss of 140,000 Mexican immigrants from the United States. Yes, this is a government “solution” in search of a real problem.

How to tackle the real immigration problem? Eliminate incentives for those who would come here to live off the rest of us, and make it easier and more rational for those who wish to come here legally to contribute to our economy. No walls, no government databases, no biometric national ID cards. But not a penny in welfare for immigrants. It’s really that simple.

Ron Paul is full of shit. Especially about E-Verify.

The current law is that employees must provide legal identification – birth certificate, passport, documentation that your are a citizen, or have a green card.

E-Verify checks to make sure you have a valid SS# and it’s not from someone who is dead.

As a software developer, it would be quite easy to extend E-Verify. When employers submit their FICA payments, the info includes the SS# and the $ amount. All you have to do is find the SS#’s that had payments from more than one employer. This could be used as a basis for an audit.

Enjoy your chains Dutchman. Or in this case, your electronic collar.
Ron Paul is absolutely correct. Remove the incentive to come here by eliminating welfare and you immediately eliminate the parasites.
Furthermore, our goal should be to eliminate the IRS not give them moar power. These parasites are worse than child molesters. They are tools of a repressive government used to control your behavior through onerous regulations that favor the well connected and stifle competition.
So, fuck you and your boot licking tendencies.

@Smoke: You don’t know WTF you’re talk about.

“Remove the incentive to come here by eliminating welfare and you immediately eliminate the parasites.” How do you think that’s going to be done? Duh… a system like E-Verify.

You are a fucking Luddite.

E-Verify has nothing to do with the IRS. With a few modifications, E-Verify could be used to track Visas. Foreigners overstaying visas are 40% of the illegal alien problem.

By simply denying illegals jobs, they will leave on their own. The cost of illegals is reported to be $113 billion dollars a year. Welfare to illegals is only a very small part of that.

The SS# number is your mark that identifies you as a serf on the government plantation. In the begining it was promised that it never be used for identification purposes. My friend is 65 and still has his original SS card that clearly states the same. But what has it become? You can’t engage in any major financial transaction without it. You can’t deal with Banks or the government without that number. You’re nobody without that number and your word is worthless too them. Because of that number you’re tracked and controlled through IRS code and now because of E-verify one must fill out forms seeking government permission to work. I was born and raised in Dallas and resent having to kneel before washington to work in my own country. It’s because of boot licking software developers who assist the government in these endeavors that our chains are growing heavier.

“E-Verify has nothing to do with the IRS. With a few modifications, E-Verify could be used to track Visas. Foreigners overstaying visas are 40% of the illegal alien problem.”
“All you have to do is find the SS#’s that had payments from more than one employer. This could be used as a basis for an audit.”
Nothing to do with the IRS huh? Maybe with just a few software tweeks by you this will be the future.
“By simply denying illegals jobs, they will leave on their own. The cost of illegals is reported to be $113 billion dollars a year. Welfare to illegals is only a very small part of that.”
You can deny illegals jobs by denying the people who don’t posses the proper documentation proving their legal immigration status. But you think the same fucktard Feds who refuse to enforce current law will use E-Verify to begin enforcing the law? You’re a fucking dumbass if you can’t see that the government is only going to use this technology against our own citizens for the purpose of controlling those of us who have had it up to their eyeballs with the ever tyrannical government. Pull off the blinders.

A 30′ wall with broken glass and dog shit on top of it. A good start.

I do a lot of IT automation work in these huge warehouses – the kind you see from the freeway. They are simply big, cement slab, bolted together buildings.

I know Mexico is a chief exporter of cement. All we need is a mobile cement plant (like the ones that they use building freeways). Make the cement slabs right on sight, excavate a trench, and drop them in.

It was still owned by Mrs. Post at that time, but we used to look at that broken glass on top of the wall and think wow, that bitch is serious. I don’t know if it’s still there.

How do you think we trained to cross such obstacles? First guy runs up with the chunk of carpet and flops down on it on top of the razor wire… everyone else runs across him and thru the wire… last man helps him up and you’re on your way.

It can easily be repurposed to cover a bunch of glass bits…

I am not sure that all children born here should be automatic citizens. I seem to remember that the Constitution says that citizenship is for all persons born here “and subject to the laws” of the US. Illegal immigrants have not subjected themselves to the laws of the US and their dependents are not able to enter into a knowing relationship to the law. The only resonable conclusion is that the infant children of people here illegally must share that same status.

Who says we’re building an 8 foot wall? Try 40-50 feet. As anyone who’s familiar with the Belushi ladder scene in Animal House knows, you’d need a 65 foot ladder to get over a 50 foot wall. Which would weigh 400 pounds. Then you’d need to get down the other side. Anyone who thinks that climbing over a wall five stories high would be easy is a moron. Like Ron fucking Paul. Anyone who thinks we’ll end welfare is also a moron. Like Ron Paul. Anyone who says we should forgo sealing the border until we’ve ended welfare is a moron. Like Ron Paul. Don’t lock your house.

The best thing would be never to have started down the welfare path at all. Put resources into legal immigration paths. Cut the incentive for useless eaters to come here before it began.

Now, we only have really bad choices: 1) When the economy of the US collapses utterly, no one will want to come here. Immigration problem solved. 2) Walls and e-verify and whatever else govt. can throw at the problem; give the government money, power and license to track any “threats” and simply trust that this power will never ever ever be abused (like perhaps, cutting off access to other types of “threats”, say people who regularly read “right-wing extremist blogs). Oh, and also, the economy will still collapse.

And I’ll tell you how easy E-Verify could work: When the employer submits the FICA payments, we find where the same SS# is used more than once. Then using the employers address zip code we can compute the distance between duplicate filings – anything more than 20? 30? miles apart would be suspect. Then you E-Mail the employer have them verify it’s the same person, otherwise they are out of a job. It would be a $10,000 fine (per person) to knowingly employ an illegal. They will leave on their own.

If someone wants your stuff bad enough they’ll get it walls or not. Walls only slow people down. People with guns stop people. If you’re serious about stoping illegal migration then you need a means to stop those who are willing to bypass your walls and you must remove the financial incentives of welfare programs that government so loves to hand out to it’s voting blocks.

Not saying that a wall will stop everyone. But just like thermodynamics – heat flows to cold, so do the illegals from the Turd World country / continent to our south. These creatures don’t understand anything but force.

Secondly, you keep confusing SS# / IRS / big brother with some sort of identification system , a system that verifies citizenship, voter id, etc. The US with 330 million people, how are you going to identify people for good or bad? I know your answer: We shouldn’t do this at all. Well this is not 1776, and that kind of thought is the stupid thought that ‘Liberians’ like Ron Paul spew. That’s why he’s nothing more than marginal.

You’re worried about ‘big brother’ – I will tell you (with authority, as a programmer for 45 years) that Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, on-line merchants, hackers in Belarus, China, apps that mine your iPhone and do a reverse directory on the people you text/call, etc… have completely comprised your privacy – more so than the incompetent US government.

Theres absolutely nothing confusing about that view at all because that is exactly how it works. It’s a feature not a bug.

“You’re worried about ‘big brother’ – I will tell you (with authority, as a programmer for 45 years) that Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, on-line merchants, hackers in Belarus, China, apps that mine your iPhone and do a reverse directory on the people you text/call, etc… have completely comprised your privacy – more so than the incompetent US government.”
I have no doubt that these entities know more about me than government. But I’m more inclined to believe that they are mere data collectors for government.

“The US with 330 million people, how are you going to identify people for good or bad?”
I don’t know how old you are, but I remember a time when only criminals were catalogued, fingerprinted and numbered. Other than SS and DL numbers good people were not treated like that. Today we are all suspect until we prove to bureaucrats that we are who we say we are.

We are supposed to be terrified of the hoards of Mexicans streaming into our country and thus grant the government new authority over the rest of us. But in fact a Pew study found that between 2009 and 2014 there was a net loss of 140,000 Mexican immigrants from the United States.

Really?

Dr. Paul has a medical degree. Which means I assume he can reason from data. And any “study” can be made to say anything you want it to say, based on whatever the people funding the study want it to say…

Rather like how the Bureau of Labor Statistics keeps on saying “X” jobs were added to the economy and unemployment is down… then leaves out that once you go off unemployment, you’re not counted anymore as “unemployed”…

Assuming that Dr. Paul knows this – and if he has the mental chops to earn a medical degree, I have no doubt he does – then that means he is cherry picking his data to support his point and ignoring the rest.

Which I find rather dishonest. Yes, I know most people do that – pick data that supports their position – but to maintain the illusion of objectivity and reason while cherry picking is in fact dishonest…

I’ve heard the same “11 million illegals” number for the last 20 years. Which is bullshit. But, I have yet to hear anyone call bullshit on that. It’s more like 35-45 million.

That’s not migration – it is invasion for the purpose of conquest using demographics as a weapon.

And how do you deal with invasions? One guy invades your house not only to take your shit, but to replace you, you don’t fuck around with mincing words about walls and wire and shovels and shit… you shoot the fucker where he stands.

35 million fuckers invade your country using the fig leaf of “migrants” – as if that’s supposed to make it better – for the sole purpose of taking your shit and replacing you? Simple answer.

But, the simple things are always difficult. We simply do not possess the will to do what we are capable of doing. Can’t even get everyone on the same fucking page in one puny little discussion thread… how are we supposed to get everyone on the same page on a national scale?

If it’s “impossible”, then it’s only due to lack of will… not lack of anything else…

Ron Paul often operates in an academic la la land.

If you are an adult in the Unitied States Illegally , you must be rounded up and deported . If you are a minor child dumped on the American border we care for you educate you find your country of origin and file suit in the world court “The Hague” for financial damages incurred by tax paying Americans for the home countries inhuman act of abandoning a child .
Most likely there is some billon dollar aid program to that country we can cut to cover the cost and come on Catholic Chruch send in the preists and Nuns to manage after all the Chruch has a lay over stop south of the border to help illegals get in with out dying in the desert so rather than fund that try something that may really help !
I am also sick of hearing how good hard working all the illegals are as they allow contractors to pay substandard wages or brag about I get 3 of them working there ass off to what I gotta pay 1 American nice , let’s hope it’s one of your loved ones hurt by that desperate hard worker when he is a little short ! No I know most are good family people but that’s what LEGAL immagration is there for ! Law enforcement is here for the rest and that includes contractors hiring them the fine needs to hurt them most of all !

Fuck that, Deport them all. Newborn to ninety nine, pregnant, AIDS infested faggots, wounded, refugees, whatever – not our problem. Send them back. Taking care of the unwanted shit of the world is not our responsibility. I don’t care what happens to them.

If they want help improving their home shithole, fine, maybe we’ll help teach them how to make it suck less, and they can try to implement it on their own.

We don’t want them here.

I find it telling that no one here has actually discussed freedom, only government control. You guys realize that “citizen” is just a euphemism for “government property”, right? This entire problem has been created by government and the only solution is to eliminate government. Dump the authoritarianism and start respecting actual property rights.
