With respect to illegal aliens, [the problem] is indeed multifaceted. I believe that the problem would be very much smaller if we had taken care of business in some seemingly unrelated areas of civil rule:
1) Progressively get rid of all government welfare.
2) Progressively get rid of the minimum wage. Some people will not be worth [minimum wage] but might be worth $5.75. A minimum wage pushes these less-valuable workers into unemployment and government dependency, which is what the government wants.
3) Guard the border.
4) Require some penalty for second offenders who sneak in.
5) Stop foisting the enforcement of illegal immigration onto employers. This is the government's job.
6) Stop all government welfare, health care, maternity care, education or other benefits for illegal immigrants.
7) Redefine U.S. citizenship to exclude babies born of illegal immigrants.
8) Require English language in all civil proceedings.
9) Deny voting rights until the second or third generation of citizenship. That is, newly naturalized citizens would no longer have all the rights of citizenship, but their children or grandchildren could. Absorbing a culture takes time. We once were a largely Anglo-German-Christian culture. Thanks to massive changes in immigration law under John Kennedy, we are becoming a polyglot with inadequate cultural glue to hold us together. We are not going to make millions of illegal immigrants into productive, time-valuing, self-governing citizens. They are going to make us into a syncretistic, graft-ridden culture.
