Immigration

It’s time for a new plan… the cargile plan

Everything changed the day the Trump administration offered to pay illegal aliens to return to their country of origin, not just free airfare, but money in their pockets upon arrival.

The greatest security measure the United States could ever have at its Southern border are strong, safe and prosperous neighbors in Mexico and the countries of Central and South America. My approach to immigration has been rooted in two things: the Bible and the Law. Almost every issue plaguing our country at this moment can be solved with the simple Biblical principle “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” If I had been born in another country and saw what the United States offered in terms of freedom and opportunity, I would have done everything in my power to get here and make that available for myself and my family.

For decades, there was an unwritten agreement between the United States and the rest of the world that if you could just get here and assimilate into the fabric of our society, we would not enforce our immigration laws against you. And tens of millions of people came here and did just that!

But everything changed with the election of Donald Trump. We have a new agreement in place. In order to enter the United States, you must use our designated ports of entry, and we will enforce our immigration laws if you are here illegally.

So, what do we do with the people who are here because of the old agreement? First, we ask them to return to their country of origin (self-deport) and as restitution and remuneration, we pay for their travel and give them money when they arrive. Next, we complete the wall. It is our number one defense against drugs and human trafficking, and it is an essential element of our national defense.

After that, anyone still here illegally must be seen in a hostile light. The same way you would look at someone who trespassed onto your property, broke into your home and refuses to leave, even if you offered to pay for an Uber and give them some extra cash. You would call the police and demand that they remove the trespasser.

It’s no different for our country. This is our home. You have no right to be here if you were not invited and didn’t use the front door. You need to leave. Those who refuse to self-deport will be deported forcibly and without prejudice.

The rule of law must be restored before any further immigration reforms can occur.
