Republican Congressman Offers Immigration Solution

I love the bathtub analogy here. This is exactly the immigration strategy that needs take place. Enforce the damn laws! Eureka! What a breakthrough! It will work, and this is why the pro-illegal advocates choose to ignore it and they always bring up how impossible it is to deport 20 million illegals. They make it sound as though we have no other choice than to grant them all amnesty. And never mind that amnesty will only increase more illegal immigration.

We don’t have to deport them because they will deport themselves if we enforce the laws that are already on the books.

If a bathtub is overflowing and water is spilling onto the floor, the first thing most rational people would do is turn off the faucet, remove the tub stopper and let the water drain. Then the cleanup would begin. If only the federal government was as rational.

Unfortunately, there are many in Congress who would mop up the floor before turning off the faucet and draining the tub. Instead of turning off the massive flow of illegal aliens in our country and demonstrating that the government can keep that flow at a very low trickle, Congress is proposing to legalize the millions of illegal aliens in the country first. This strategy has not worked in the past and it will not work for our country now.

There is only one way to stop this unfettered flow of illegal immigrants: cut off the jobs and benefits that attract them to America. The federal government must demand that businesses verify the legal status of their employees and administer heavy fines to those who violate the law and hire illegal aliens.

Next, the government must stop paying for the education and health care of those who have come here illegally. This strategy, coupled with stronger border control, is the only way to begin draining the tub.

If America turns off the faucet of jobs and benefits, the majority of illegal immigrants will go home. This strategy of attrition has proved successful for thousands of private and public employers who use attrition every day to reduce their payroll. Most people in Southern California are familiar with this pattern in private industry: employers will freeze hiring and offer incentives for early retirement and/or relocating. This approach can work for illegal immigration, which is why the cheap labor/open borders lobby refuses to discuss it.

By actually enforcing immigration law consistently, firmly, the illegal population will shrink. If the cannot find work they will go home and others likely won’t come.
