Illegal immigration is a prominent issue that has plagued and affected all Americans for decades. An illegal immigrant is anyone who migrates to a country for permanent residence without providing any form of identification or acquiring citizenship. Many problems develop as a result of illegal immigration including overpopulation, risen crime rates, and unemployment. Because it cannot be stopped altogether, the American government must control the flow of illegal immigrants into the country in order to provide more opportunities for U.S. citizens. Many immigrants come to America for their chance at a better life; some are refugees, escaping persecution and civil wars in their home country. All of these people believe the United States is the

They need to be sure that the border is secure and that only people that are authorized to come to the country do so. A fence is not enough to stop illegal immigration, but it will likely help reduce the issue and enable the Border Patrol to be more efficient in ensuring that those that make it past the fence will come in smaller numbers. A solution could be a three-layer fence system, where two outer fences enclose a single electrical fence that will provide a substantial, but non-fatal, shock to those that come into contact with it, while simultaneously notifying the closest Border Patrol station to dispatch agents to deal with the intruders. The double fence will ensure that animals and people are not shocked unless they are already trying to circumvent the outer fence. If the impact on local wildlife migration is a problem, the fence could be broken up at regular intervals, such as at every few miles, with manned Border Patrol towers that would monitor the area where the fence is open. Therefore, animals would be allowed to migrate but the immediate presence of Border Patrol agents manning the location 24/7 would ensure that the opened area of the fence would not be taken advantage of by illegal …show more content…
There is essentially no punishment or risk other than having to repeat their entry attempt. There should be a mandatory confinement period for illegal immigrants that are detained before they are returned to their country. Perhaps 3 months for a first offense, 18 months for a second offense, and 36 months for a third offense. These people should not be housed in our prisons but rather, immigration confinement camps should be established along the southern border. Rather than highly secure and expensive prison areas, these would simply be securely fenced areas with simple wooden living structures; essentially simple Prisoner of War camps.The detainees would not receive cruel or unusual punishment but be kept prisoners like we see in the prisons throughout our country. Once operational, the costs would not be very high but large numbers of illegals could be detained there. There would be an initially large number of detainees, but as potential illegals realized we were serious and that there was some real risk to making an effort to cross illegally, the number of detainees would presumably
