Fred Thompson on Fox News yesterday wavers on illegal immigration, perpetuating the myth there is nothing we can do about the 12-20 million illegal aliens in the country. There is plenty we can do to encourage them to leave and get back in line like the law-abiding people around the world continue to do. Some suggestions:

1. Deny health care benefits to illegal aliens unless they pay up front.
2. Immediatly deport any illegal who presents symptoms of a communicable disease like Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, Malaria, Leprosy, Polio, HIV/AIDS...
3. Deny the children of illegal immigrants access to our educational system. When the Plyler case was decided, the school district couldn't meet the undue burden test. Today our schools are being destroyed by these people. A school district needs to challenge the Court to revisit this issue.
4. Deny citizenship to the "anchor babies" being used to gain residency or, at a minimum allow the parents to take the baby when they are deported and allow the baby to return at 18 years of age.
5. Pass a federal law denying citizenship, permanently, to any person who commits any crime while in this country illegally.
6. Place a surcharge on all funds wired from the U.S. to private individuals in Mexico and any other Central and South American country to capture the lost revenue from unpaid taxes. The vast majority of this money has not been taxed because it is earned off the books.
7. Consider housing illegals overseas while they await administrative hearings to determine their future. This would be less expensive than utilizing the already overcrowded American jails and prisons.

There are many other solutions to this problem but politicians fear taking a stand because they know that these illegal aliens increasingly vote illegally in our elections.

We, the People, must demand an end to the talking points and a start to the implementation of solutions to the greatest threat America has ever known. Illegal immigrants are a threat to our country's survival and avoidance will not make the problem go away.
