Speeding Up the Process: A Plan to Address Illegal Immigration

The current approach to handling illegal immigration in the U. S. has seen some progress, but it's moving too slowly. Over 2 million individuals have left the country, either through deportation or by choosing to leave on their own. Additionally, more than 1. 6 million jobs previously held by illegal immigrants are now available to American citizens, with 2. 5 million new jobs created since the start of the current administration. However, the scale of the issue is vast. Estimates suggest there are between 45 to 50 million illegal immigrants in the country, with about 25 million arriving in just the last four years. This influx has put a significant strain on the country's resources and economy. The focus has been on deporting those with criminal records, but the broader issue is the economic impact. Illegal immigrants who rely on government assistance are draining public funds, contributing to national debt, and raising taxes. This situation is unsustainable and threatens the economic future of American citizens. To address this, a more strategic approach is needed. Currently, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents are spread thin, trying to cover the entire country. This is inefficient, especially given the resistance from certain states and cities. A proposed plan suggests shifting ICE resources to focus solely on states and cities that cooperate with federal immigration policies. This would concentrate efforts where they are most effective, avoiding the frustration of working in areas that actively resist deportation efforts. By prioritizing cooperation and efficiency, the goal is to expedite the process of addressing illegal immigration. This approach aims to protect the country's resources and ensure that policies are implemented effectively.
