Pragmatic Proposal


Something like 60% of illegal immigrants enter the U.S. legally on visas ... but don't leave when their visas expire. Here is a possible pragmatic solution to reining in this problem:

Coyotes can charge up up $6 thousand to smuggle people into the U.S. Why can't we ask people entering this country on a visa be required to post say a $2 thousand bond that is refunded when these visitors leave within the window of their visas. If they can't show non-refundable return tickets, the bond then doubles to $4 thousand.

We might also ask them for a cell phone number and/or an email address to locate them of they do not depart when their visas expire.
