As there are considerable numbers (12 millions plus) of malfeasant aliens in the US (encouraged by Reagan's 1986 "One-time" scamnesty of 3 million), many of whom show up so their children will be US-born "anchor babies"; these specific malfeasants oft use "family separation" argument (which is absolute
bakvas) to avoid getting deported.
Partial solutions already exist within US law:
- first-time caught malfeasants (who have not been caught for any other offences) can be deported and US-born child stays in US (though this obviously causes problems for federal or state governments)
- malfeasants (qualifications as above) can be told that "yes, we know the paperwork to take your US-born child back to your own country causes headaches; however, you brought these headaches upon yourselves by coming into the US without fulfilling the legal paperworks to do so. You have two choices, leave your child here while you go back (see #1) or take the child back to your country, do the paperwork, and either
- wait for the child to turn 21 (not re-entering US until then) and have the child sponsor you for immigration to US
- use that 21-year window to fulfill requirements to enter US legally (as temporary or permanent resident).
Strict enforcement of these will be at least a partial deterrent; however, I propose the addition of a fine for
each malfeasant-alien parent of US $100,000 (plus hospital costs to deliver child)--and a bar from re-entry into US until this fine and interest are paid in full (using credit-card interest rates/methods as guideline).
For malfeasants caught also on other offences (or multiple times on illegal entry), the bar should be permanent and the fine increased to $500,000 each.
(note: I thought of the whole "solution" in about 5 minutes, walking from office to Arlington County Library)
