He has several propositions for solving the Illegal Immigration problems the US is facing.
The US would send back all recent illegal immigrants to their native countries. Immigrants that have been in the US longer would go through a touchback system.
Touchback would force the illegal immigrants be deported to their original country and check that they have not committed any type of crimes through a background check. For reentry they would get in line behind other trying to enter the US legally. McCain says they deserve no special treatment to get back into the US since they broke the law. These people would have to reenter through the naturalization process; learn the English language, know the Constitution, and take the naturalization exam. I believe this is both fair to American citizens and actually fair to those that entered illegally.

Some may think that McCain is being harsh, and to an extent, isn’t that what is needed? McCain isn’t really insensitive, he believes it is a complicated situation. He doesn’t want to send back people who are elderly and have lived her for more than the majority of their life. He does take into account people’s family, but does intend on enforcing laws to the best of his ability.
