Yes, I second the motion.
FB is there any political or govt leader already writing this up?
I envision at least 3-4 designated cities across the border from CA, TX, NM, AZ
(and possibly one for Cubans in FL) where nationals can declare legal residency.
And then work out guest, worker or temp visas like a student exchange program
managed by a university type campus exchange, documenting work-study credits.
Any amnesty can be worked off as credits owed per extent of violations,
where it is fair to all immigrants and taxpayers.
here is a related proposal by former Gov. Schwarzenegger:
Schwarzenegger: Build prisons in Mexico
here is mine:
Earned Amnesty
I totally agree, and just presented the idea of 4 city-states to one of four community leaders I am asking to join forces to develop solutions to both the immigration, trafficking, drug and amnesty/sanctuary issues.
The restitution owed for drug and human trafficking and other violations
can be credited back to taxpayers and invested in developing model
cities using a campus system that residents democratically manage for themselves
with assistance of businesses, churches, nonprofits, schools
and government handling the security issues, especially where prisons or military facilities are integrated as part of border security.
We can create jobs for Veterans and for training future govt leaders instead of wasting resources on expensive conflicts from drug wars to political campaigns that cost billiosn without solving any problems.
For conservative Republicans and Libertarians who oppose ACA mandates, this system could provide a different option for citizens to invest, lend, donate or pay taxes into.
Population of Mexico: 120,000,000
Square miles of Land: 761,606 square miles
People on 1 square mile: 158 people per square mile
Illegal immigrants passing over Mexican border into USA: 25,000,000/158 = 158,227 square miles of land.
Mexico owes the United States 158,227 square miles of land to support the 25,000,000 people it deported/starved/threatened/ignored/didn't care for to the USA.
We take the 158,227 square miles of land from Baja to Monterrey, the people who migrated can have it, we take over the economy, and we're thus even.
The Mexicans don't have to worry about their failures to take care of their own people any more, and our border states don't have to bear all the burdens any more, either.
It's a win-win.
Discuss, please.
Discussion.
