When ICE Comes Calling

The following is from Townhall:

“President Trump promised to enforce the border and deport people who shouldn’t be here. That’s not controversial. That’s the law. The president intends to enforce the law, announcing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement will begin a large-scale operation to find illegals and deport them. Large-scale ICE enforcement operations are typically kept secret to avoid tipping off targets, though it’s probably not coming within days, or at least that’s what The Washington Post is reporting. U.S. officials with knowledge of the preparations have said in recent days that the operation was not imminent, and ICE officials said late Monday night that they were not aware that the president planned to divulge their enforcement plans on Twitter.”Donald Trump said say on Twitter: “Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in.”

So fasten your seatbelts. When ICE comes calling, the Dems will be livid. The liberal newspapers and news programs will have plenty of sad photos depicting separation of families, etc. but perhaps the saddest will be the consternation and the fear in the minds of millions of hardworking illegals who have melted into our society. They came here in order to find a better life. They never tried to milk the system. They are working and are filling a significant role in society. Those of you who know my feelings on this illegal immigrant issue may be bored, but I need to restate my position. All illegal immigrants are not the same. To me this is obvious, and a big part of the liberal position on this matter is that they tend to group all illegals together. To my way of thinking they should be subdivided into three distinct groups. 

Group 1: Those who are working and are paying taxes. This group includes spouses, parents, and children. They are not U.S. citizens, and do not receive any of the benefits that are only for citizens, other than the education of their children. They do not receive food stamps. They are not eligible for social security. They cannot vote. They should never be eligible for citizenship. Their children (D.A.C.A.) are also not citizens, should never vote, and should not receive any of the social benefits that reserved for citizens. While this group is here illegally, they are not causing any trouble and are not a drain on the system . . . leave them alone!

Group 2: This group is made up of the “bad hombres.” They are the criminal element. They should be deported. They either have been convicted of a crime in the past, or are presently being charged with something, and if they are subsequently convicted of a crime, they should do their jail time and then be deported. Under no circumstances will they ever be advanced to Group 1.

Group 3: This group consists of those who are not working, and who are the beneficiaries of some sort of social benefit such as food stamps or welfare. They should be given a period of time to get themselves into Group 1 – get a job and stop the receipt of those social benefits that should be for U.S. citizens only. They would need to report monthly, and when they fulfilled the criteria, they would be moved into Group 1. If they are not able to move themselves into Group 1 after 6 months, then they and their families should be deported.

Now obviously all these illegals can only be put into a group if they present and declare themselves as being an illegal. Every illegal will have 6 months to identify him/herself, and be placed into a group. I would not expect those  who would be allocated to Group 2 to present themselves to the authorities. After 6 months if they do not present themselves and are thus not incorporated into a group, they will automatically be placed into Group 2.

This is a reasonable system. This is a fair system. This is a compassionate system. When ICE comes calling, those who are allocated to Group 1 will have nothing to fear. Those in Group 1 will not have to live in secrecy if ICE is in their neighborhood. If ICE were to detain them, once they were on record as being in Group 1, they would be immediately released.

This kind of a grouping system incorporates common sense, and that is precisely why politicians will never consider it!
