Quite a few on this list, but the stricter border control system and detaining illegal immigrants until they are deported is a pretty damn good idea for a start.
Do you actually know anything about this country? I live in Georgia, for example. 80% of our state's income is in agriculture. When they passed the E-verify bill it was so devastating that farmers had huge posters in the department of labor first offering 10 and then 12 dollars an hour for people to pick crops and the crops were still rotting away. My friend owns a blueberry farm and the first week she was shipping off Americans in ambulances. The second week...no one even showed up. It didn't take much time for them to amend it to exclude farmers. If we actually deported the illegal immigrants entire states would go bankrupt. I don't know if you know about the current condition but in georgia economic state is so bad that we have no energy assistance program and section 8 is so backed up that you can't even get on the 2 year waiting list. We have families, especially single parent families, that can't pay their electric bill and therefore have no electric. I've met people with no running water in their home. The living conditions among the working poor are really really bad. It's depressing. It's hard to sleep at night if you let yourself think about it. Deporting illegal immigrants would be absolutely devastating to our economy. At best it's an irresponsible idea that's very poorly thought out.
