31. That's a huge question and Chump can't solve it with an executive order

In fact the undocumented immigrants and their "anchor babies" have been abusing our Constitutional privileges for a long time. If it weren't for the last 70 or 80 years of government failures to control the border problems, we wouldn't be where we are today. No previous administration wants to admit that they added to the problems but they all have - Dems and Repukes alike.

What we really need to do is call a certain year as "Year Zero" and issue every undocumented person who is here in Year Zero a proof of citizenship (or greencard) and a social security number. If we do that, then as of Year Zero + One there will be no more undocumented persons within our borders. Once we've taken that step, going forward everyone should have proof of ID and citizenship. If they don't have any, they're breaking the law and they get detained and prosecuted, perhaps even deported.

I'm thinking it will come down to an ID chip inserted into each person's arm or something. We're still a long way from that happening though. We can't even get people to wear masks or get vaccinated to save their own lives.
