Last night I was talking with some of the guys I work with. We were talking about the problems of illegal immigration, the costs involved and just the overall lack of any real enforcement on the books. After that I sat down and came up with the following plan that I feel will help put an end to illegal immigration:
My 4 step plan to eliminate Illegal Immigration:
1) Cut off social services to illegals. They can still get truly emergency medical care, but if they can not provide proof of citizenship then make it mandatory that ICE is called.
2) Prosecute companies that knowingly hire illegals up to and including incarceration and loss of business license.
3) Prosecute Illegal Immigrants who use stolen identies to obtain employment and/or benefits
4) Bill the foreign nation where the illegal alien came from for the costs of the incareration, medical expenses and deportation cost. To collect on the bill, reduce the foreign aid to that country by the amount of the bill.
If we do these four things there will not be any illegal immigration problem.

Only thing I don't like about dealing with this problem is that it's going to require that we have a national ID to identify citizens, and also it's going to result in citizens being thrown out by your uncommon cop who assumes brown skin = illegal, or spanish = illegal.
