10 Steps to Fix Our Broken Immigration
ENFORCEMENT SysteM
Published: 8/3/16 by Roy Beck
When
you hear politicians talking about "fixing our broken immigration system," you can be pretty sure
that what they really want is to dismantle enforcement and make it easier for
employers to access cheap, foreign labor.
But
for those who truly care about the harm that illegal immigration poses to
American workers' incomes, to national security and to public safety,
NumbersUSA has developed the following list of the 10 actions that would make
the greatest strides toward ending illegal immigration. It's the immigration ENFORCEMENT system that needs fixing.
There
are a lot of ideas out there about what is needed to fix that system. We believe these 10 actions listed below
would do more than any other to limit new illegal migration and to
reduce the size of the current illegal population at the lowest cost to taxpayers and least disruption.
We
have prepared this draft list from the collaboration with our staff lawyers and
other Capitol Hill specialists who have deep experience with law enforcement
and immigration legislation.
1. Make E-Verify mandatory for all U.S.
employers to eliminate the jobs magnet.
2. Complete the
Congressionally-mandated biometric entry/exit
system to track non-immigrant visitors to the U.S.
3. End the practice of birthright citizenship for illegal
aliens and foreign visitors.
4. Require state and local
law enforcement to report affirmatively all non-citizens in custody to ICE, make ICE detainers mandatory, and
require ICE to pick up and remove deportable aliens.
5. Expand expedited removal to include all
illegal aliens with criminal convictions.
6. End catch-and-release of illegal aliens by
requiring that they be detained until removal.
7. Deny immigrant and
nonimmigrant visas to nations that
refuse to repatriate their citizens.
8. Reform
the judicial process in immigration courts, including restricting relief from
removal, to expedite the process and reduce the backlog of cases.
9. Restrict asylum to the internationally
recognized definition of those who are unable to be returned to the home
country due to a well-founded fear of (state) persecution due to race,
religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political
opinion.
10. Allow Border Patrol
access to all federal lands.
Many
of these items are already federal law, but simply ignored by the current and
past Administrations. Legislation has been introduced to repair much of the
rest.
