    Govt must deport illegal foreign citizens including from neighboring countries.
    All citizens must have ID cards, no way should be given to other than citizens.

    What about deporting millions of illegal Indians from Africa, Middle East, Europe, South & North America Who take away job from local Citizens, work for cash, Cheating on tax, obtaining & using fake degree and documents. Indians are the largest undocumented/illegal residents all over the world. Tell your fake degree holding ministers to take them back and provide welfare.
