How do we define Secured Borders

[ChesusRice]

I hear the cop out from the right
"We will discuss immigration reform when our Borders are Secure"

So how do we define our borders as secure?
I'm listening

 

[Harrekin]

This might sound silly but one of the best ways to secure a border is to actually let some people through the legit way.

They're not even gonna try legally emigrate to the US because it's currently pointless.

Yeah I know. But thats the way the xenophobes want it
Right now the rock they are hiding behind so as not to appear heartless is the
" We need to secure the border first, before we talk about immigration reform"

No sanctuary cites, no drivers licenses for illegals, no free healthcare and swift deportation of all offenders.
We need to stop all incentives for illegal aliens, this would be a good start.

I agree with removing incentives for illegal immigration, but we need to make legal immigration more inciting. The cost of getting into the US legally is just to much for the average illegal immigrant.

In my opinion a secure border is one where we can monitor, regulate, screen, and track numbers of who crosses the border.

So, how many a year is "actually let some people through the legit way?" How many is SOME? Why do you make stuff up?
Here is 50k we just give away as Lottery, to offset the big legal immeigarte countries, Mexico, Brazil, United Kingdom and China.

There are many ways to legally immigrate to the United States, but only one of them depends completely on luck: the congressional mandated visa lottery, which offers 50,000 green cards to people from certain countries.

The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is open to countries with low rates of immigration to the United States, such as Malaysia, Belarus, and Algeria. In order to diversify the immigrant population of the U.S., participation is limited to countries with less than 50,000 new immigrants to the United States per year.

Citizens from countries with already high rates of immigration such as Mexico, Brazil, United Kingdom and China are not eligible to apply. You can learn more about which countries qualify from the State Department’s Diversity Visa page.

So worrying about ISIS is heartless?

Oh wow, a lottery.

Let's plan out lives around the fact we MIGHT get chosen out of the lottery.

The other ways are virtually impossible unless you've serious credits in the bank.

I know Ireland will let in any destitute bum, so we have keep up with the Leaders of Peace.
You are why we can't close our borders. You would think we were meanies, and we ARE NOT.

I'm actually saying to make it more secure you need to make a way for people to realistically get in legally and then lock down the rest.

Well over 10% of our 300,000,000 population migrated here, and only about 1/4 of that was illegal border crossing or visa over-stays. So, again we see the problem with Ireland, it's people..

http://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/frequently-requested-statistics-immigrants-and-immigration-united-states
Nearly 41 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2012—a historical numeric high for a country that has been a major destination for international migrants throughout its history. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, which accounts for less than 5 percent of the world’s population.

Are you actually the color of maroon, as well?

Do you have an open border as an Island?
Do you understand the needs of a country such as this one?

I mean let people in other than Mexicans...

 

[ginwilly]

It shouldn't take more than a year to get here legally. Co-workers from Canada took 12 years and 10's of thousands of dollars to do it legally, that's nuts.

Mexicans are the one least "let" in.

 

[Harrekin]

I bet they have one of the highest % shares tho.

That and all those dirty, drunk, undocumented gingers.

Why should we let Canadians in? My brother tried to migrate to Canada. He has 2 college degrees, fits all the criteria of Peace-nik, has marketable job skills, but could not spend $30-40K to make it happen. But, if he was an extreme Muslim, that would have done it for him

Why should they let non-Muslim Americans in?

They let Irish people in with little more re: qualifications than a truck license...

Your brother must have a skill that is not in demand there, anything regarding the mining industry or any tertiary industries that appear as a result is a sure way in.

Trades like plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc are all other sure ways in.

Maybe they just don't like Yanks?

Why should they keep them out? Is over population a problem in Canada?

Besides, I don't care how Dudley does it, I care how we do it. It should not take a decade to get here, once here we should NOT lose track of people. Like Buck said, half the people that are now illegal started out legally.

Our immigration is a clusterfuck. We have the capability of monitoring every citizen's phones, computers, we have satellites that can pinpoint a lost dog, but we can't keep up with people who came here on work visas?

All I ask for is criminal background checks before letting people in. I'm OK with a charge too, immigration department could have their budget paid for solely on fees from people wanting to come here. Just 1K a piece would generate billions.
