Either that or allow lethal force against mass border crossings like that, but the optics would be hilariously terrible. (Even if it reduced total deaths crossing the border, which I think is plausible - 8000+ have died crossing the border in the past 30 years, and shooting a few hundred people making the crossing might reduce the overall flows enough to compensate)

Keep sending Palestinians until there are no more Palestinians, of course.

I would be enormously unsurprised if workers in the US were paid double that of workers in Mexico, and that's before we even start getting into non-pay related union inefficiencies.

This is more like someone checking out a book for 2 weeks, returning it, and then camping by the shelf until it becomes available again so that no one else can read it.

I have literally seen people take off their jacket and then start punching the other person in a fight. Granted, this was in high school, but that's also the last time I really seriously interacted with the bottom quarter of the population.

To me, stripping out of a jacket/shirt is prototypical "I am posturing and about to throw fists" behavior.

Well, either they previously said "everything is ok, I'm not a felon, I don't do drugs" and the purchase was approved (and the record destroyed), or they said "yes I'm a bad person" and you can keep the record as the purchase was rejected.
Keep in mind that answering "I'm not a domestic abuser" on one application and then "I am a domestic abuser" on another application a year later is not actually proof of perjury! They could have become one over that year!
At most, it would let you slap additional 10 year felonies on top of the one that was initially detected. I'd much rather the ATF start enforcing the law before making it easier for them to dump even bigger penalties onto specific disfavored individuals.
So, follow up question
What percentage of those minority groups currently find themselves disinclined to cooperate with society?
