I agree completely. Even the problem of illegals being here is not simple. Some of these people came here legally and simply forgot to renew their visas. If they are self supporting, productive members of our society that haven't committed any crimes, I can see no reason why they should be allowed to renew their visas and pay a late fee much like you do if you forget to renew your drivers license.

Other illegals were brought here as children and were not responsible for themselves. Again, if they are self supporting productive members of society who have not committed a crime I see no reason not to give them a path to become legal.

However anyone who knowingly entered this country illegally must be deported. Those that are dealing in drugs and human trafficking must go first without question. Those who have committed other crimes needs to be arrested, tried and if found guilty sent to prison. Once their prison sentence is up they must go and be banned from ever coming back here. If they are found in this country after that they should be imprisoned for life with no chance of parole. Those who came here illegally to work and have not committed any other crimes, I'm sorry, but they must go home and get in line like every one else. If they are found to have re-entered the country illegally after being deported, they should be imprisoned for life with no chance of parole. That is the only way that we can stop them from coming back. They have to know that the penalty is so severe to make it not the chance of returning. There have been far too many cases to illegal immigrants, who have been deported multiple times, committing crimes. Come once and commit no other crimes, get sent home. Do it again and spend the rest of your life behind bars.

Those with anchor babies must be deported and they can take their babies with them or put them up for adoption. They can apply for legal status once they have left.The babies will be welcomed back as US citizens when they are of age.

But one of the things that we must deal with is having the Supreme Court define the 14th amendment for what it was meant to be. It's purpose was not to allow foreigners to enter our country illegally, have babies and those babies become citizens. Birthright citizenship must end. We are one of the only countries left in the world that still allow this. and it's not because the writers of the 14th amendment wanted this to happen. It's because the amendment has ben wrongly interpreted. We either need to repeal the amendment, write another amendment amending the 14th amendment or have the USSJC rule on the correct interpretation of the amendment. I think that the first two of these will be extremely difficult but once Judge Gorsuch is approved, the third option should be pretty simple. If not we'll have to wait until President Trump can replace Justice Ginsberg.

As far as legal immigration goes, the process must be streamlined without sacrificing our safety. It is too difficult for good people, who can be of benefit to us, to come to this country. I know from personal experience. It is a long and costly process and it doesn't have to be.

We can still continue to take refugees, but only if they can be properly vetted. I don't know how that process works but we have to know with 100% certainty that they are not coming here to do us harm. Although I am sympathetic to the plight of many of these people, we cannot be fools and just take everyone in the world who claims to be a victim of oppression or war. We especially need to be very careful with refugees from areas that harbor our enemies. When ISIS and al-Queda say that they will use our refugee program to get their fighters into our country, we must take that very seriously. Unfortunately some of those oppressed people are not going to be taken care of. But that it not our fault. It is the fault of terrorist groups that are trying to take over those countries and want to destroy our country. Of course we should always help out, but not to the extent that we endanger or own citizens. We need to set a limit on the number of refugees that we take in and we need to make sure that we only take in those who we are absolutely 100% are not going to pose a danger to our citizens or our country.

Both legal and illegal immigration are very complex problems, but as President Trump said last night, we have no problems that cannot be solved.
