lol sure thing, except they had a carve out excluding women and men over 45. The language clearly referred to an organized militia but due to the tortured logic of Scalia it ended up meaning what the NRA wanted it to mean

Do you think landlords would prefer to have their properties permanently seized?

Not only does the landlord permanently lose the property, he loses all income derived from it, plus he's still on the hook for the mortgage. Sure, he can default, but the lenders will take legal action, which could result in the seizure of his own home, or his other rental properties and other non-rental properties if he has them. Yes, he could file bankruptcy, but it would be both very expensive and complicated.

If illegals have no place to live, there's not much point coming to the US, or staying here.

The same statute can also provide for the seizure of banks who allow illegal aliens to open and maintain accounts.

The same statute can also allow vehicles owned by illegals to be seized, and for the seizure of car dealerships that sell cars to illegals.

And since the government can seize businesses that hire illegals, no businesses are going to hire illegals.

You've now eliminated any reason to come or stay in the US.

The illegals will self-deport with no need for detention centers.

Another way to do it is for the President to hold a TV and radio address asking illegals to leave, wait 30 days then have another radio and TV address asking illegals to leave. No penalty for any illegal to leave.

After 30 days, hold a TV and radio address ordering illegals to leave, and give them 30 days. The penalty? No property or cash. Illegals will have to park their cars at the border and walk across, after being searched and stripped of all cash and property. Those who leave through airports or seaports are stripped of cash and property, too.

30 days later, declare a temporary national emergency and issue an order voluntarily deputizing any natural-born or naturalized citizen 21 years or older who does not have a felony record and pay them a bounty of $20,000 for each illegal they capture. Their sole authority is to detain any suspected illegal alien, and any person who interferes with the detention of a suspected illegal alien. So, if local police or city council members or State legislators want to interfere, fine, they'll be arrested. The deputies will seize any property where illegals are. If illegals run into a church, the deputies follow in pursuit, arrest the illegals and seize the church, which will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and that money used to pay the deputies their bounties. Set up military tribunals in all 50 States, and that's your Due Process. After their hearing before the tribunal, which will only last 5 or 10 minutes, illegals are taken to the nearest airbase and put on C-130s or C-141s for transport to another country, or the government will have private charted flights to take them out. All give a DNA sample so that neither they, nor their children, nor grandchildren nor any DNA relative can enter the US for the next 77 years. And all their personal property is seized. Any American stupid enough to interfere can spend a minimum mandatory 5 years in prison, be fined $1 Million and have their property and assets seized.

No need for detention centers.
Sorry to break your heart but Tyson, Perdue, Swift, Armor, Cargill, Con Agra and others wouldn't stand for it and they are the shot callers here. The easy way to fix it, start putting employers who hire illegals in jail, allow those already here who don't have a criminal record to apply for permanent residency or citizenship - but that won't happen either, trust me..big money wants those people here and they will not allow anyone to cut off their source of labor

The 5th & 14th Amendments won't allow your scheme (pretty much any part of it). The 4th Amendment is also going to kill a wide swathe of this scheme. Not to mention the myriad treaties to which the US is a party that prohibit expropriation. This is quite the fascist proposal, however.

Give Trump another 6 months and he will probably find a way to get rid of the constitution and impose martial law because the "invaders" are threatening the troops at the border with baby strollers

We already use property seizure quite extensively with drug crimes. Property used in the commission of a felony is subject to asset forfeiture, as is property obtained with unlawful funds.

Does not work unless you are mostly seizing cash. And easily defeated by low equity ownership.

The entire idea is absurd. The entire real estate industry will beat to death any attempt to make the qualifications of renters or mortgagers subject to any penalty from the client.

And there is very little likelihood of an eVerify with teeth short of a national ID card. And that will do little to reign in the black market.

Being in the US without proper authorization is not a crime, it is a civil violation. Illegally entering the US is a misdemeanor, and presence in the US does not by itself prove illegal entry. Illegally returning to the US after deportation is a felony. So for your grand plan to work you would have to ascertain which people had actually committed a felony, arrest them and try them for that charge and if guilty I suppose you could do some kind of asset forfeiture which might get you a phone and a package of tortillas. These folks are not exactly rolling in dough.

We can make illegal entry a felony. As you said, illegal entry after prior deportation is alredy a felony. So even applying just that puts some harsh consequences to that group. Anything helps.



Bigger question is why, every single time someone suggests doing something that would penalize or discourage illegal immigration, you liberals immediately fight and argue against it? Do you have to *always* be on the side of illegal entrants?

Nonsense. Civil asset forfeiture is currently used for houses, cars, boats, and other tangible property not just cash.

Right. Just like Ronald Reagan was certain to launch the nuclear missiles and start WWIII.
