What’s Your Solution?

I got an email asking what my solution for the illegal alien problem would be. Instead of an email response, I posted it. It may not be perfect, but it will be a start. I’m more than willing to hear your alternate solutions, but they need to be SOLUTIONS. And machine gunning 23 million people is not an acceptable one. So think hard, then argue and suggest. Consider this a big open thread, as long as it’s talking about the illegal alien situation.

From my email:

I have a silly question to ask.  (and you knew I probably would, but I am interested in the answer, since I doubt anyone has bothered to fully think this out enough)

Being that just about everybody realizes we have a serious problem with illegal aliens in this country, what exactly would YOU do with the ones we currently have here?

Well, off the cuff, here it goes:

a) build a special prison for the illegals who are committing crimes. Or at least add some “deport” tag to their file, so that when they have served their time they get kicked out. We transport them back to southern Mexico, not give them a push over the Texas border.

b) the government already knows where every single one of these people is. Please. You know they do. They know what you had for lunch. Put a law into place that any business will be fined $10,000 per person per week for knowingly employing non-citizens who do not have H1-B papers. Put in a multi-point accessable database containing all SSNs of citizens. Heck, this database already exists, but proof it and purge it first. Send every business owner a registered letter with a unique password. Instruct them to put together a list, with SSNs. Enter your employer ID number, which the government already has, and knows whether you are a sole propreitorship or a corporation or whatever. Enter the list. What comes back is the people with bad SSNs. The employer must verify those people’s name, address, etc. Resend the ones who popped up after verification. Those that fail again are flagged, and the INS pays them a visit. At first the fines against the employers will be token; $10,000 for the whole crop of illegals, regardless of how long they’ve been there. After that, it goes per person per diem. You may have to have agents stand outside the factory gates with list in hand, just in case the employers decide to “forget” to mention some folks.

c) Known abusers will be raided on a regular basis. This includes the meat packers, the fruit pickers, and the entire construction industry. And every restaurant, hotel, and hospital in the country. Round them up and deport them. Period.

d) extreme pressure needs to be brought to bear on the SCOTUS to reinterpret the “anchor baby” thing. No citizenship if your parents are here illegally. Period. And no more of this extended family bullshit. Anyone legally here is legally here, but that does not give them the extra right to bring over granny, uncle Pedro, second cousin twice removed Juan, great neice Carlotta, etc. Screw that.

e) examine and establish a reasonable quota of legal immigration. Throw out Teddy Kennedy’s 1963 idiotic act. We want the world’s best, screw the rest. You want to come here, then show us your qualifications, and be disease free. Then we’ll let you join the line. We have quite enough unskilled labor of our own, thanks. Maybe lettuce will have to be picked by prisoners for a couple years, but they will be paid minimum wage.

f) citizenship is checked at hospitals. Treatment is not denied, but INS is called.

Yes, people are going to freak. They will use the “jews going to Auschwitz” meme when my trainloads full of guarded illegals start heading south. Too bad. And with a fascist in the White House, this kind of thing can be done. Fascism/Socialism has an advantage here. So use it. Obama’s Volunteer Corps needs to be turned into INS-Plus.

The media admits that 12-20 million people are in this country illegally. We have a population of 300 million. If I had to bet, I would say the real numbers of illegals number 30 million or more. 10-15% of the entire population. Maybe as high as 25%. Because we overlook the Chinese problem - yet a large number of the people making your General Tso Chicken to go are illegals. We turn our eyes away from the Brazilian / Portuguese problem - yet who do you think is catching the fish you eat? NY and Boston are crawling with illegals from Ireland. Who can tell? They don’t stand out in a crowd of white folks, but they shouldn’t be here either. Every single Rosa vacuuming rugs in a hotel is an illegal. Nearly guaranteed.

As for asylum, that needs to be granted very carefully. Maybe refugees should get a 5 year renewable pass, but if they don’t check in every month, INS hunts them down and they get the boot.

We have to make tough choices. And the people on the illegal end are going to get hurt. Some will die. Some will be sent home to die. That’s unfortunate. But they should not be here in the first place.Once the word is out that the Purge Is On, millions more illegals will leave of their own accord. Let’s not forget that they are invaders, and heads on spikes is the treatment that invaders can expect. So just sending them home is the nice way. Heck, I’ll even give them a backpack full of food, 5 gallons of good water, spare socks and underpants, a sleeping bag, and a little tent.

To the argument that ... maybe we should keep X million? ... I say no. We already did that under Reagan. Let’s not do it again.

To the other argument that ... these poor people are only doing the jobs Americans won’t do ... I say bullshit. Believe me, I know. Because I’m the American cleaning windows and scrubbing toilets to get by. But I’m doing that for a good wage, not for half a peanut.

Gosh Drew, are you going to require regular Americans to prove their citizenship on a regular basis? At restaurants, ballgames, whenever they use a credit card? Maybe so. For 4 - 5 years it might be necessary. Swipe your ATM card, and the cashier gets a picture of you on her little screen. It had better match up. The technology is already there, and you know damn well both the federal and the state government have your picture if you are 18 or over. The only time this record is saved is when things don’t match.

In the long run, this will also purge us of all identity theft, save welfare and health care billions, and reduce crime by a huge amount. So do it. In the short run, just making the announcement that such a plan is going into place will cause millions of illegals to flee the country.

UPDATE: Today I’m wondering if my ideas were too severe. Maybe we should first just ask them to leave? Because I don’t think we’ve tried that one. Let’s start with that, then escalate the pressure one turn of the screw at a time. But turn the screws fully inside of 18 months, not 100 years.

We also need to attack some of the root issues. The idea that everyone in America should go to college and then get a job in an office has to be put aside. Many people are not college material. Many jobs exist that don’t require college, but can pay very well. We have to reject the idea that hard physical labor has no dignity. We need to stop sending jobs oversees just to save a few dollars. We need to stop buying cut-rate crap from China because it costs a couple pennies less. Be American, Buy American, Hire American. Even in this current recession there would be ZERO unemployment if out of work citizens did the jobs that illegals now do. But no, they wouldn’t be making the big bucks being a fry cook. And they’d have to learn some new skills ... because very little of what we think of as “unskilled labor” is actually unskilled. Granted, some of those skills are minimal, like knowing that you should cut the lettuce off at the ground, and not in the middle of the head.

We need to rethink the Great Welfare Society idea so that the working poor can still get some help, and wind up living far better than those who just collect a check. Taper off benefits as your income goes up. In my state, even somebody earning $35,000 a year could still use some help, but not a whole lot. $150/month in food stamps or something.

We’ve already gold plated the education system with tax money. It has not worked. What comes out the other end is generations of under achievers who think they deserve to walk into $45/hr jobs and get a big pat on the back every 90 minutes just for showing up.

We need to rebuild the work ethic, and we need to rebuild nationalism. And we need more secure borders. Unfortunately, I think we also need a decade or two of the British game of “rat them out” to purge our country, along with an active government that takes their ratting duties seriously. Task Force Terrier, or something like that.

Cut the business tax rate to zero. Nada. Capital Gains are just another kind of income. No more death tax. I’m all for giving Flat Tax a 10 year try. We need to encourage people to work, and we need to encourage people to succeed. So stop taxing the shit out of those who have made a successful effort. Stop hating on the rich, because almost anybody can become rich in America.

I would also suggest that we foment a revolution in Mexico. Topple their corrupt government and microscopic ruling class that owns everything. Then, if we absolutely have to have outsourced production, we can build all sorts of factories and depend on them. Why go to China for everything when Mexico is right there? Right now the answer is that we can depend on the chi-coms more than we can on the Mexicans. That’s a really sad state of affairs. Mexico needs to grow up; they have to get past the 500 year old Spaniard Problem. 70 years ago they stole nationalized the US owned oil infrastructure. Did you know that that theft is still a national holiday? That’s the wrong environment for doing business. The same thing goes for our island neighbors to the south. Without the Castros Cuba could be a huge producer. This isn’t exploitation, but opportunity. But there has to be a government there that we can depend on, or else nobody in their right mind is going to front them the necessary capital investment. We already have the technology to make most production fairly “green”. So we wouldn’t be raping the islands of our Caribbean neighbors by bringing jobs to them. Let’s get past that. But those island nations have to have the work ethic, and they have to have a stable mature government. Right now many of them have neither.

  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
