I agree with your list but would reverse the order.


Why? The first one kills two birds. The illegal immigrant is certainly a major problem, but border security trumps all. Particularly when you have to consider the new fascists in the form of Islamists.

Remove the incentives first then there will be less people to stop.

I disagree, but you're getting closer. The freebies and citizenship nonsense are still in the way.
