1. Does anyone find it hypocritical that trump wants to deport undocumented immigrants since he has hired undocumented immigrants before? Yes they were sub contractors but as a business man you choose whether or not to be informed and intervene .
If I hire a subcontractor, I have no right to ask them for any proof of citizenship, immigration status, or legal presence. Neither does Trump. That's the difference between an employee, who has to fill out form I-9, and self-employed people. I fill out form 1099, hand one copy to the subcontractor, and mail the other one to the IRS at the end of the year. If that subcontractor doesn't pay his taxes, the men in black will have a chat with him.
2. What is he going to do with the fact that many of the areas for the fence/ wall are in places that are private property? Is he going to force people to sell their land or just steal it?
Don't know. He's certainly not taking away private property, even if he could based on eminent domain laws. He just puts a fence on the border of the private property, at the very line where the private property becomes property of the United States of America.
3. How much is the starter money trump is getting from congress and how much is it going to cost the US tax payers?
Don't know. In the end, all of the wall will be paid for by Mexico. If they refuse, no Mexican will get a visa to the United States again and no money transfers from private parties (illegal aliens) without proof of lawful presence and source of funds will be going to Mexico anymore. That would cripple the Mexican economy and is probably a great incentive to pay up. But in all fairness, the US and Mexico should share the cost of the wall.
4. Who else thinks it is wrong to increase the tax to send money to Latin American countries? Not only is it persecuting individuals that are US citizens and residents especially since it is saying everyone that is sending money to these countries is involved in some manner with illegal immigration there are a lot of documented people sending money to individuals in Latin American countries to assist family members, family members that are tourist, humanitarian relief or business ventures. This is unfairly punishing individuals in both political parties.
Neutral on that one.
5. Does anyone realize that trumps plan to enforce the new immigration policy is going to lead to racial profiling and multiple costly law suits ? Think about it if you are Puerto Rican, a US citizen, a US resident and you get harassed for speaking in Spanish or held to a different standard then individuals from other races how are you going to react?
Nobody will be harassed for speaking Spanish or look Hispanic. A US citizen has to say "I'm a US citizen" and that's it, as there are no ID requirements for US citizens in the US, and a Green Card holder will show their Green Card. Problem solved.
Two points:
1) We have a reported 12 million illegal aliens in the United States. We need to do something to reduce that number, and securing the border is one part of it. But I agree with you, making eVerify mandatory and punishing employers harshly will do much more than the wall. This was stonewalled by Congress 'til now, as they are in the pockets of corporate business, but I have hope that Trump will kick their collective a**ses in this respect.
2) I live in a nice neighborhood, and I have great neighbors, yet we all have fences/stone walls around our properties. Fence make good neighbors, they say, and it's true. I would not want "open" properties in my street. On the same token, I lock my house. It's not very likely that somebody would walk in, but keeping the door closed prevents people to just walk in and get cozy and locking the door prevents them from doing so. Walking straight trough the desert is not a discouragement if on the other side there's the land of milk and honey, but climbing a wall or digging a tunnel is a great deal more difficult and discouraging.
Final pearls of wisdom:
If a US citizen petitions for their brother or sister in the Philippines, the waiting time is currently 24-1/2 years. Don't you think that a great deal of US citizens with good income would LOVE to pay a "fine" and have their sibling pass an English test if that would reduce the waiting time by 20 years?
