Trump threatens to close border 'next week' if Mexico doesn't 'immediately stop' flood of illegal immigrants
So, Trump tweeted he will close the southern border next week if Mexico does not stop illegals from entering the US.
Will he do it?
What would be the damage to the economy from such an action?
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 billion dollars worth of goods flow back and forth across that border each and every day.
Comrade, how should we deal with the assault on our southern border by your party and the foreign allies you have in the attack you are waging on America?
Thanks for asking, here is the plan I have put forth on this forum many times. It is a 3 step plan.
1. Pull at least 50% of the troops from Europe and station them on the border allowing them to defend this great nation for a change.
2. Go after the people that hire illegals, and go after them hard. Fines so high that businesses go out under and jail time for those caught doing it.
3. Create a true guest worker program so that those industries that need the labor can get it legally.
Do those 3 things and the illegal immigrant problem will be solved.
I like my plan better. Being here illegally is a first degree felony carrying a minimum of five years in prison. That takes care of every sector of the problem. It takes care of the people who have been here for a very long time, VISA overstays, asylum seekers that didn't attend court and became illegal, and of course, people thinking about coming here illegally.
The problem is you cannot change a law and then retroactively have it effect those that did whatever it was before the law was changed.
You're not changing anything but the penalty. You broke our laws when you came here illegally, and you are still breaking our laws today because you're here illegally. If you don't leave by tomorrow, you will be breaking our laws then as well.
