I’ve lived elsewhere before landing in Alabama. Some of those were in areas that had historically had high levels of immigration from many parts of the world. LEGAL immigration. Some of those people had waited YEARS to gain entry. Years! To say that those who had so little regard for our laws as to come in like burglars should be rewarded while those who obeyed the law should be ignored is to send exactly the wrong message. So I have exactly zero sympathy for the illegals.
Here are my recommendations:
1) build the wall, the whole wall, and do it now.
2) make legitimate efforts at interior enforcement. Anybody who can’t locate some illegals isn’t trying.
3) those who knowingly or recklessly employ illegals go to jail and face seizure of personal assets.
4) public officials who refuse to enforce the law go to jail. So much for sanctuary cities. And that goes as high up the food chain as necessary
5) English only. This must not become a polyglot Balkanized mess. No more hyphenated Americans
6) tell foreign governments to butt out. Close the Mexican consulates in places like Little Rock.
7) no more wire transfers to Mexico, etc. Or credit cards for illegals.
8) apprehended illegals are across the border within 24 hours of apprehension. Nation of origin pays for it too.
9) fix the erroneous ”anchor baby” rulings.
10) state it openly - illegals have human rights, but they have no civil rights. None. Nit. Zilch. Zero. Not at all. They are not entitled to lawyers. Or counsel of any kind. They get caught, they’re illegal, they’re out of here.
11) as for illegals caught a second time: those who won’t learn once won’t learn twice. I believe the term is ”extreme prejudice”.

There is a thought that illegals should be bribed to leave. That’s distasteful, but perhaps less so than this shamnesty ”path to citizenship”. Illegals should NEVER NEVER be granted citizenship. They are invaders, not guests, and they are not welcome.
Re ”guest workers”. We already have some programs for that. They are sufficient. But on that subject, you are welcome to review the European experience. It has not been good. Look at the Turks in Germany or the Algerians in France. Unassimilated, unassimilable, hostile, angry, and a constant source of crime and trouble. Why would any intelligent person want such a thing?
