Immigration "King of America" Solution

On immigration: Since it's impossible to shut down the border, we have to try and separate the "good" (people who will come in and contribute like our ancestors did) from the "bad" (gangsters and separatists). That means that we need a legitimate way for the "good" to come to America.

 Step 1. Set up immigration centers in the border towns, fingerprint, DNA sample, pictures, a physical, and vaccinations. Issue a tax ID. Direct them toward people who will help them, give them jobs, etc. Create a situation where people who legitimately want to work and feed their families have the best opportunity to contribute to society and succeed personally. Legitimate immigrants will naturally gravitate to these centers. 

Step 2. With the Checkpoints in place we can assume someone trying to cross without going to an immigration center has nefarious intent. This makes it much easier to write rules of engagement... most likely these are the thugs that their government has a warrant for already.

 Step 3. Encourage success and assimilation within our borders, no tolerance for the bad. Irish, Chinese, and Jews are quick examples of cultures that have "melted" and enhanced the American culture (but weren't welcomed in the beginning, and in some cases still experience racism). By allowing legitimate immigration (e.g. Ellis Island) we encourage different cultures to enhance our own culture (Who doesn't enjoy a St. Patrick's day celebration or great Chinese takeout from time to time). Not to mention the tax boone on income that's already being made! By that same token, we don't want to support the bad with our crazy legal system. One felony strike and you're deported and put on the "not welcome" list... no appeal, no incarceration, no drawn out trial to make lawyers rich.
