Here is an idea on immigration that I got from a person which I admire quite a lot; some of the embellishments are mine, but the main thrust of the idea is this;
Let them in; legally, and with hardly any interference at border crossings. As they come in, they will be assigned a social security card and a laminated, federal ID - they would also be fingerprinted and photographed, and records could be run on those items and against their names for criminal background.
If such were found, they would be turned away.
With so many people no longer pouring over the border, our border assets, which are not equal to the job of keeping out the vast number of well intentioned illegal immigrants, could instead concentrate on the much smaller number of ill intentioned people trying to move across our border.
At the same time, a national system of checking social security numbers before job hiring would be put into place; the vast majority of illegal aliens work with legitimate companies, and fake social security numbers now are extremely easy to find.
A system could be set up within months to do this; in fact, the basic system is already in place vis a vis the NICS check system for firearms transactions approval. There could easily be a departmental shift, and extra resources added to the existing infrastructure of NICS to check Social Security numbers. f the Social Security number comes back bad, there can be no hire. If a company is caught with new, bad social security numbers the penalties would have to be stiff.
The above solution solves several problems at one time; the social security number issued would not be citizenship, and if laws were broken the person could be sent away, with their photo and fingerprints on file.
With hi-tech surveillance and quick response teams our border agents could then concentrate on the only people that would be left crossing the border in desolate stretches at the dead of night; those people would be criminals, and could be dealt with accordingly.
