Some of us aren’t as cogent and polished writers as you obviously are, so, sorry for my “rambling.” It would be much better if you could simply pontificate your dynamic ideas unencumbered by the simpletons of the world. Then, we could achieve intellectual rapture. Thank you for deigning to listen to the simple people, or at least simple person.
I do not claim to be an expert on border security, nor do I have the time to answer all of the questions I proposed. I’ll mention a few basic provisions for securing our borders and limiting immigration and emigration (criminals, sex-trafficking, etc.) without touching on the general theory of nations and immigration, since that has been what has mostly been discussed so far, i.e., the general theoretical approach to immigration as it pertains to a nation. Your suggestion was for “a free-for-all.”
As far as security is concerned, I actually think that our present system is pretty good. The northern border is pretty secure at this point. On the southern border, we apprehend hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants each year and deport sometimes hundreds of thousands who have a certain level of criminality. I think that we should definitely concentrate on arresting and deporting illegal immigrants with a certain level of criminality. All unaccompanied children should be welcomed into the country. We should also concentrate on admitting families who are refugees, particularly from conditions more or less directly caused by our interventions. In other instances, we should work with other countries and individual states to evenly settle refugees in safe environments.
One idea might be to have some estimate of the economic impact of immigration by a bipartisan council of economic and sociology experts, along with border patrol officials. This panel could then determine what a reasonable amount of immigration would be before our resources were exhausted and we were unable to address the social issues of our own country. If we had more families wanting to immigrate, then we would be able to expand this by having these families stay with American families who would volunteer their lodgings, food, etc., for a given period of time. We could then work with other countries and private individuals to take in more immigrants if necessary.
We should also maintain the present system of passports and the documenting of people on flights.
This!
We need to take refugees that want to be free, make them successful, then arm them to the teeth and let them invade there own countries.
Take Cuba for example. I watched a documentary made during Fidel Castro times. They all said they wanted to leave to USA cause of conditions but also that they love being Cuban an living on Cuban soil. Solution is simple. Create militia out of Miami Cubans an send them some bitches back home for a vengeance.
Cuba really should be are 54th state.
