Everyone knows that you can't bail the water from a boat successfully until you stop the leak. The border leak has to be stopped first before you can do anything about the criminal invaders that saturate our country.

The Dems policy when given a task that sound tough, is to just legalize it and tax it. Then see if they can get some more votes out of it. Make it look like they accomplished something historic and pat themselves on the back.

My plan:
Secure the border
Prosecute anyone hiring an illegal

Any illegals still in our country after the work dries up, can be deported unless they commit another crime in our country. If so, then they are tried and imprisoned like any other common criminal.

It really is as simple as that. Cost? Sure, but we waste money on stupid grants for studies all the time. Take the money out of foreign aid. Tell the countries that there will be a moratorium on foreign aid until we get control of the flow of illegals into our country.
