Solving the Illegal Immigrant Problem
Posted by madjillmom on August 23, 2010
Per Drudge last week, if we divide the national debt, each citizen owes $44,000. Drudge got the debt number as of 8/19/10. It is 13 trillion plus. So if you run the 44,000 number, you get about 302,508,613 citizens in the USA. Now, if I take the ever popular 12 to 13 million figure used for the amount of hard working undocumented workers that the amnesty folks say we can’t send home and add it to the citizen population and then divide it into the debt, the new bill per citizen and illegal population is $42321 per person. If presented with a bill, would they pay or leave of their own accord.
An amnesty program is a thorny thing. Cutting in line isn’t good. Using someone’s Social Security number is identity theft. I would consider an amnesty program if there is a way to stop “anchor babies” in the future. Plus we should naturally deport all criminals.

We already survived seven amnesties.
1), Immigration and Reform Control Act, 1986: A blanket amnesty for over 3 million illegal aliens. Many are still not citizens.
2). Section 245(i) Amnesty, 1994: A temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens.
3). Section 245(i) Extension Amnesty, 1997: An extension of the rolling amnesty created in 1994.
4). Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) Amnesty, 1997: An amnesty for 1 million illegal aliens from Central America.
5). Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act Amnesty (HRIFA), 1998: An amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.
6). Late Amnesty, 2000: An amnesty for some illegal aliens who claim they should have been amnestied under the 1986 IRCA amnesty, an estmated 500,000 illegal aliens.
7). LIFE Act Amnesty, 2000: A reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty, an estimated 1,000,000 illegal aliens.
I, like the majority of Americans are against any kind of amnesty. The U.S. has to stop illegal immigration period. We must stop the fraud of the 14th Amendment, cut off work for illegals and subsidies.
Then, and only then can we sit at the table and discuss this issue.
