U.S. militia groups head to border

No I’m not a legislator – but I can state my opinion on what I think should happen.

[FloridaYankee]

Well, we do spend billions of dollars on border security and have for a long time.

Most of what I call for isn’t possible right now.

Couple of well placed bills in congress and signed by the president and it’s possible.

E-verify for any employer that has 5 or more employees.
IRS matches SS numbers – by that I mean if they get a tax payment for a SS of a dead person, or one that doesn’t exist (hasn’t been issues), the employer gets a notice that something’s wrong. If IRS is getting tax payments to same SS number from multiple businesses in multiple states, letters go out to the businesses to verify the person is who they say they are (little extra step for someone like me who worked full time in one state, but was an independent contractor in for a company in a different state. Just have to show the check for my work was sent to the same address as my Utah address.) little things like that really would help.

I agree.

But with E-verify MANDATORY for any employer. If you are a small business who does not do a lot of hiring, then you can access with the assistance of a local government entity (police, sheriff, country clerk, etc.).

I like the IRS cross check, but would include a cross linked system between State Departments of Vital Records (marriages, births, deaths), Voter Registration, and DMV.

Make receiving any federal funds for any educational institution (including post secondary) contingent upon students being in a legal status. If your student visa expires you are no longer eligible to attend the school. If there are one or two that slip through the cracks, then fines. If it is more wide spread then the school loses the ability to accept federal funds or having students use federal students lones for the academic year in which it occurs and for the entire next school year.

I’ve been preaching that for years. Get rid of the incentive to come here, and they won’t.

The incentive is higher–paying jobs than they have at home. How are you going to get rid of that?

Why would it matter if you could? Federal and state aide for any children they have is also a lot more than they can earn at home.

Make the cost of hiring illegal aliens unacceptable Use escalating fines, and if offenses are repeated within certain time frames, a criminal offense to remove the incentive for employers to hire them for high paying jobs (or low paying for that matter).

No. They (lib posters) don’t care about breaking our laws when it fits their ideology. They are only outraged that Trump would dare try to enforce our laws.
As for these guys, that’s happened before. It will probably waste some peoples time being sure they stay away from anywhere they could do damaged. They will get bored and go home after a while.

Yeah What’s a few armed militiamen?

Hope these are the good guys with guns they always talk about. Otherwise there could be a bloodbath.

[PeterGriffin]

Just because the last time we had a border vigilante group being promoted by Republican media it ended in murders and corruption doesn’t mean it will go sideways this time.

[CaughtInTheMiddle]

now that we know that our real military isn’t gonna be playing Trump’s political games, maybe we need these groups to stop the flaming arrows and hot tar.
