So just exactly what do we do to deter foreigners from attempting to enter our country illegally?
Just exactly what do we do to deter foreigners from staying past the point where their visas expire and they have to leave the US?
I don't agree with separating children from parents if the illegal entry is not a crime. But it IS a crime for a previously deported alien to illegally enter the US after being deported and removed. The drug addict who commits a grand theft stealing your identity and your money from the skimmer they installed in their workplace at the fast food restaurant you pick up your Double Greaser with Fries and Diet Coke every day will be separated from his/her children when they go to jail.
No, Trump should not continue this policy. But the red avatars that would perform partial birth abortion on an 8 month fetus (or be OK with someone who did) don't move me with their version of "the children" argument. They don't care about kids; they care about discrediting Trump.
So while I say, "Stop this policy immediately!", I am going to ask what needs to be done to resolve the problem of preventing and deterring illegal immigration and what needs to be done to remove illegal immigrants residing here from our country?
I feel like we shouldn't be giving temporary visas in general.
However, I am also in favor of more lax legal immigration... I just don't think it's smart to give people temporary visas. Are we really going to expect them to move out? I would rather keep valuable people in the country (I would assume they have to be somewhat valuable if they're getting visas) than make them leave after a few months.
How do you define “temporary,” though? That’s the crux of the question, and one to which I do not have a good answer myself.
