A new proposal -- -- the housing market by offering visas to foreigners who buy real estate here joining me now former Republican congressman Tom.
-- -- I guess -- proposal has I was was a bill broad bipartisan way the Republican and the Democrat brought it.
Apparently what you do is if you if you're a foreigner and you want to come over here come with 500 Rand by real estate.
And I guess -- in.
When -- think -- that one.
I don't think very much of it I remember when we.
Every time we talk about a comprehensive immigration reform plan which is nothing more than an amnesty somebody throws in.
The kicker which always says and by the way we will we will in fact make all these people who are here illegally pay a big fine.
Well why don't we just simply.
-- All of our requirements that we usually used for people but it to establish for people are going to come into the country.
And just say send us a check it -- up or or better yet.
Give us your Visa and we'll give you a -- Right I can't imagine the left loves us is this do you -- -- talk about class warfare if you're if -- well be enough -- for you you can come and buy your way in but if you're not you can't Tom.
Stay with us once -- guys -- each one -- this is Homeland Security secretary -- -- Paul -- talking about.
Why we can't just in the mall back listen.
There -- ten million or so illegal immigrants probably in the country.
And the congress gives us the resources.
To remove approximately 400000.
Per year we want to prioritize.
Those who are convicted criminals we want to prioritize those who are security threats those who have existing -- -- -- on the numbers.
Staggering number one half the people they send back have or haven't yet another aside from breaking the law coming over they break it a second time and the other -- this is the one that got me.
It costs us 30000.
Dollars to -- process and illegal -- port of.
Yeah exactly -- It's it's really.
Which which He is running a sham operation and what she has just said is really.
Glossing over the real issue in the real issue is this how do you actually put in place something.
That will reduce the number of people who are here illegally and and really not be an incentive for people to come here illegally and that's.
Called.
Is to mandate.
And then make sure that the Social Security Administration checks to make to fit to block the loophole that they have now where somebody with that a good Social Security number and -- gets He gets it stolen and used by an illegal.
You if you do those two things.
This issue this whole issue of illegal immigration essentially goes away at least for 90%.
You don't have to spend 30000 dollars apiece you don't have to say we can't go after the people other than the ones who committed other crimes because you put in place something that -- that.
It makes people self deport.
That's why they don't like it that's why the administration won't do it it will work it -- cost 30000 dollars.
People self deport if they can't get the job they came for when they came across illegally.
They will go home and or they won't come because they know they can't get it it's the perfect way to handle it and because it is they will not.
Do it -- Tom Tancredo -- are we get really went really -- it's some of the other blocks next to anybody will spend literally had to apologize for.
For -- segment by.
