You know what pisses me off, the whole immigrant debate that just wont go away. Here is an idea? Since immigrants come to the USA to have a better life then we should make them work for it like the rest of us (except with special conditions).
If I had it my way I would issue special Social Security Cards that use letters instead of numbers. Once they reach citizenship their immigrant S.S. Cards would be retired and give an US S.S. Card. The cards could use all letters but no vowels so NO offensive messages would show up on their Non-US Citizen S.S. Card like:
IMW-ET-BACK
IMA-BE-ANER
Make becoming a citizen easier; if they get a GED or graduate from high school, take a speech class (so they can practice speaking English), then they can apply for citizenship. An extra Non-US Citizen Tax of 10% is taken out of their pay check to give them the incentive to get their citizenship. Also that tax can be applied to purchases over $5000 thus making it harder to own a new car, house, boat, etc... Also add an additional 10% interest to any loan they take which goes to the US Federal Government.
I would also make it so if they do not register and get a Non-Citizen S.S. Card within 2 years of being here then (once they are caught) they have to have to spend a mandatory year in HARD LABOR prison and a $20,000 fine. However, after they are released they can be ship them back to their home country (if they were bad in jail) or issue them a Non-Citizen S.S. Card (if they were a model prisoner) and they can resume their life of paying too much in taxes.
If they are criminals when they are sent to prison where they have to serve the whole time in prison without parole. Once they get out and if they were good in prison then they are issued a Non-Citizen S.S. Card, but if they were a pain in the a$$ in prison deport them.
Furthermore, there should be several electrified razor wire fences on our borders. Why make it easy to just walk into and out of our country. This is just my “Angry rant.” Agree or disagree I don't really care.
