We will continue with The American Legion's solution to our country's immigration problem. Previously we discussed Step One to close the borders; Step Two was to eliminate the job magnet and social benefits for illegals; Step Three was to allow NO amnesty; so today Step Four of the Legion's plan is to reduce the number of illegals in the United States.

Roughly 10 to 20 million individuals are currently in this country illegally. Many seek to address the problem by reducing the number of illegals in this country through the enforcement of existing and new immigration laws. Included in this group is The American Legion.

The American Legion recognizes that mass deportation of all illegals is not a realistic option. The American Legion endorses the plan to reduce the illegal population as outlined in a paper titled “Attrition Through Enforcement - A Cost Effective Strategy to Shrink the Illegal Populationâ€
