What can actually/realistically be done about illegal immigration?

[jadillac]

Building a wall is literally not possible, nor does it solve anything. If you knew the distance from south Texas across the state and the terrain, this was never a true possibility. But of course trump supps eat it up

So what can be done realistically?

 

[Mowgli]

Military on the border. Billions on border patrol to hire people who's sole job it is to send people back.

100 Billion across the nation to local governments to hire people to catch and then resources to deport to deport most the illegals to their homelands. Realistically probably end up over a trillion. Incentivize with tax breaks.

Get back to trade programs in high school to fill the gaps left by cheap undocumented/exploited labor

Nationalize top 10 percent of earners

 

[Luke Cage]

Realistically our economy would tank if we "solved" this problem.

The idea of it being a problem, or its portrayal as such by politicians is what needs to be addressed.
Both the left and right know this too, which is why neither party does anything about it, despite speaking to contrary.

its honestly just a hot button topic they can used to rally support or opposition, but beyond that, they want those immigrants here.

Funny thing is

Most of these “build a wall or keep them out” people

Don’t seem to understand it will tank the economy


Look at Florida they stopped reporting about all the Mexicans that left and all those half built houses that’s left

 

[TRUEST]

Create factories on both sides of the border that employs those wishing to immigrate here. Build cheap houses or living units for them to live in.

At the root of all this chaos is the need for parents to feed their families. Protect them from gang violence. And to have peace of mind.

This is the only solution. No need to send jobs to Bangladesh or China. The border harbors so much untold riches it’s baffling no one sees it.

This country can stop contributing to making shytholes, shytholes

But there's no money in that

 

[BaggerofTea]

fine and jail any business owner that hires illegal immigrants


You can clean up a lot of problem by just doing that

 

[JT-Money]

Massive fines and raids on employers that hire illegals. Cancel all foreign aid to countries helping facilitate migrants into the country. Go after Cartels participating in human smuggling. And ramp up mass deportations as a deterrent.

not rewarding fakkit democrats for pandering to illegal immigrants. shyt is embarrassing

The problem is realizing it's Republicans and these corporations that make life harder yet are convincing it's everyone else except them for the mess they're causing.

Remember, the money is in the disease, not the cure. Republicans want society to be as unwell as possible because as long as people complain they can make empty promises they have no intention of keeping while you keep voting them in so they can live like royalty.

You hold Republicans and their corporate buddies accountable to see where the money is REALLY going. Republicans are the ones driving up the bill on everything making each dollar earned worth less.

How much do we spend on taxes each? So where is our tax money going? Not much back to the people I can tell you that. So how much do you think they're pocketing? Roads be like a $10 billion problem (random number), but they over there saying it's $30 billion to fix. It's the grift.


Look at the Red States. Why are they the most expensive states and have the worst quality of life? It's a very simple question and a very simple answer. Find out where that money is going, find out how much that is and that'll probably blow people's minds.

You 100% can accommodate immigrants and everybody else if they were honest and not pocketing a whole bunch of our tax money to live like royalty.

Look at healthcare, if they were honest about the prices do you know how much cheaper it'll all be and how much less anxiety there'd be? Speaking of which:


Wouldn't that be nice if our healthcare that we pay a fukkton for was actually that comprehensive? That lady finding out she had an astigmatism in her 30's is a total shame.

Also, it's taking a look in the mirror. Are YOU really leveling up to obtain the life you want?

Let's be honest here. Everyone knows what the highest paying and most wanted jobs are, have you put in the HONEST effort to get there? No one will do that work for you - not your favorite podcaster, not a politician, etc.

All the above is the true path to solve the problem if you don't want to cut corners: elect true leadership and do your best in life.

 

[Groanman]

Hole up

 

[MikelArteta]

Get rid of jus soli, fine employers big time who hire illegals

 

[Samori Toure]

Go after employers, but they are not going to do that.

 

[ReasonableMatic]

I’m looking at the replies and just SMH

White America has truly convinced a lotta nikkas that it’s immigrants to blame, instead of White AmeriKKKa

Pure White Supremacy and US indoctrination at work,
pointing blame at other minorities that are victims of its harm too.

How about:

• Not enabling genocide
• not destabilizing the Global South in the name of US Imperialism
• not getting rid of socialist leaders in the Global South
• not being one of the world’s biggest sources of climate change

Just a hunch

You need to eliminate the economic incentives that make people want to immigrate illegally in the first place.

I wouldn't emigrate to a country where I knew I couldn't find employment, couldn't find permanent housing, and my kids couldn't enroll in school. Politicians would need to evaluate all the things that would allow someone and their family to live comfortably in the country illegally, and then make those things completely inaccessible. Hold companies and landlords that enable them accountable with major fines and penalties if they're caught. I think that'd be the best way to slow illegal immigration somewhat.
