Just depositing my ideas to the universe. If they stick, cool. If not, well that's one conversation out of the way.

Currently, on the LOW end, there are about 11M illegal immigrants in the US. We don't know who most of them are. This is not just a broken system, it was designed this way for political purposes.
My plan stifles politicization & incentivization of mass immigration.

End welfare entitlement for illegal immigrants (I'll say more about this later in the thread)
Implement voter ID laws

Next we:
Implement an Ellis Island approach immigration system. Establish various "Ellis Islands" along the southern border.
Screen for diseases, violent criminals, and sex trafficking.
For those who pass, issue a Tax ID for employment & formally paying taxes

Once they're here:
New arrivals enter a "zero tolerance probationary period" for 10 years (this combats politicization and outlasts 2 presidential terms)
Just ONE heinous crime during probationary period is grounds for removal (murder, rape, armed robbery, etc)

Once they're here (cont.):
They're ineligible for welfare until they've contributed to taxes via payroll for 5 years.
Children born to immigrants will assume the same legal status as their parents (not auto citizenship)

After the 10 year probationary period:

Referral of 3 US citizens required for citizenship application.
No voting rights until citizenship is acquired.

Notes:
Military service with honorable discharge grants auto citizenship not subject to 10 year probationary period
Provide Open Season for current illegal immigrants to receive Tax ID. Beyond a certain timeframe, those without the Tax ID are subject to removal.

This is just the framework to my ideas that I believe provides concessions to people on both sides of this argument.
The Latino vote is not a small one. A winning strategy is to treat our friends and family with respect while simultaneously protecting the common citizen.
