How to Easily Remove the Criminal Immigrants from the USA

Like most things, I think we try to make matters more complicated than they actually are. Also, we tend to forget the power of capitalism to fix most things that government has messed up, if just given the free-hand to do so.

Take the criminal immigration issue for example. Most pundits will tell you it would be impossible to deport the 12-20 million criminal immigrants already in our country (so we ought to just find a way to accept them... so the story goes).

Hogwash! Capitalism would easily take care of this situation if allowed a free hand. Here's how:

1. Make it illegal to transfer money out of the country by any means unless you are legally in the country (citizen, resident alien, etc.... this would shut down the $20 billion annually that is funneled back to Mexico alone.)

2. Make the cost of employing criminal immigrants higher than the benefit: (heavy fines and jail time for employers caught with criminal immigrants on their payroll... with the real enforcement to back it up)

3. Ensure that criminal immigrants who end up in our criminal justice system (regardless of guilt or innocence for the offense that brings them there) get deported immediately to the country they transited immediately before coming into the USA. Maybe Mexico will tighten up things on their side of the border if they start getting all the people who come through their piece of territory dumped back in their laps, not just Mexican nationals.)

4. Remove all public funding for any assistance or "welfare" of criminal immigrants except to avoid death or grievous bodily injury. No school, no food stamps, no medical coverage. They didn't earn it by coming here legally, or by being born here, so why give it to them?

5. Remove any bilingual programs and support systems throughout the bureaucracy. They are going home, no use for these things since they can't take advantage of the programs for American Citizens anyway.

That should about do it. Once the financial incentives for citizens of other countries to illegally come to the USA dries up, they won't come... and many if not most already here will go home. We won't even have to pay transportation costs, except for those we deport because they popped up in our criminal justice system.

Remember, this is OUR country. We don't have to share it with anyone if we don't want to... and certainly don't have to share it with people who don't even respect our laws enough to come here legally. I feel absolutely no remorse about advocating that criminals in our country because they entered illegally, should not be allowed to remain just because it is difficult to remove them.

I think I've just shown how they will remove themselves, if given the right incentives.

That's my position. I'm a Concerned Patriot.
