Preferably there's a middle ground and this sort of thing isn't necessary...but it's also not something that should be dismissed out of hand, either. To their credits, the Democrats have proved time and again that 'soft on crime' doesn't work. Fire on invaders a few times, and they probably stop coming, so you don't have to fire on them anymore. Harsh, but an actual solution. So immediately better than what either party in the US has done, perhaps.
Even if that somehow stopped any more from coming (which, no offence, I sincerely doubt due to the sheer numbers involved), where does that leave the rest of the tens of millions already residing here? There would need to be a coinciding deportation campaign on a scale not seen since Eisenhower, and God only knows what else to even begin tackling the problem.
Declare all illegal aliens are outlaws in the original, legal meaning in that they are no longer protected by the laws of the nation they have invaded. Once there is nothing stopping people from cheating, robbing, beating, or even killing them, they will leave on their own.
I never said it was a comprehensive immigration solution, and that was never even the topic. The title is about the border crisis.
