I was speaking with someone who lives in the US and is Latina. I presented my plan which I call Second Chance. She says that is sounds reasonable. Here is the plan
1-all illegals and those who overstayed their visa must immediately register. Those who are convicted of a crime of moral turpitude are immediately subject to deportation.
2-after registration, they are required to pay a fine. Not sure of the amount yet, but it must be no less than 3K USD per person.
3- those remaining are required for a period of 10 years, to pay US income taxes. Some type of official IRS return is required.
4- each year the return verifies their residence and employment circumstances.
5- at the end of 10 years, the prize of citizenship is given if the person follows the registration, pays the initial fine, pays income taxes, AND (very important) NO crimes beyond a simple traffic offense.
6- birthright citizenship is ENDED.
I believe my plan is workable and practical. Thoughts?
