Immigration Reform 2025

We as a country need secure borders. We also need legal immigration. Once the southern borders are sealed. Revamp our immigration system. Most people from central and South America are good people who can’t afford to hire an attorney. Simplify the process so that the process is quicker but allows knowledge of who is entering by photo and fingerprints. allow x number of work visas per year by country, allow passport travel to the countries who allow passport travel of U.S citizens. The punishment for over staying your visa/passport shall be; you loose your ability to renter the United States for up to 10 years. To take a page from Panama, you must keep your passport or visa with you when you travel outside of the residence you are staying. If found without the passport/visa, you shall be arrested and detained until the legality of your stay can be confirmed. If legality can not be confirmed, you shall be deported immediately and banned from reentry for a period of 5 to 15 yrs. If apprehended entering illegally, you shall be deported back to the country of origin and banned for life. ALL must come through a legal port of entry. The people who are already here illegally; You must turn yourself in, be processed and leave the country for a period until such time a legal visa/passport can be attained.
