According to a recent Trump tweet, he still plans to get Mexico to pay for it. So....why is he threatening to shut down the government if congress doesn't include it in spending bill? Originally Posted by grean

1. aggressively deport illegals and prevent them from entering the USA, or
2. have mandatory prison sentences for those who hire illegals, or
do both "1" and "2"? Originally Posted by Tiny

Neither. I think
1. Illegals currently in the Country have to be sponsored by whoever their employer is. In other words the employer vouches for said illegal. Almost like an adult / child relationship
2. Run a background check and deport any who have a known violent history- ( not misdemeanors)
3. Give them worker status and allow them to get drivers licence, pay taxes, social security, etcetc
4. After 7 years let them apply for citizenship
5. Hire additional border security and aggressively keep out those trying to enter illegally.
Thats a start but the key being the employer responsibility Originally Posted by themystic
