OUR SOLUTION TO THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
We propose a solution to the issue of illegal immigration that, we believe, would solve three problems at once. The problems are:
- Americans face an influx of illegal, generally Mexican, immigrants, who merely want better paying jobs than they can find in Mexico, but, in coming to the US, displace members of the American-born poorer classes from factory, farm and seafood industry jobs; and who, while paying taxes for social security they won’t receive, nonetheless receive other services that they do not pay for (in housing, emergency room medical services, food stamps, WIC, etc) which probably total significantly more, making many of the immigrants a net drain on state and federal treasuries; and who, by their willingness to accept very low-paying jobs, depress labor conditions for American-born and legal migrant workers;
- Mexicans cannot find work in Mexico and yet are dying trying to make it across to America, and, when here, live in fear of capture and deportation;
- Europeans have a virtual zero population growth situation, which though ecologically beneficial, when combined with their high level of social “safety net programs” has produced a situation where almost half the population is either unemployed, sick, on vacation, never has been employed (especially youth) or receiving other state benefits of one sort or another. The European approach has been to encourage, or at least accept, large-scale migrantion of North African Muslim and Arab Muslims, who have constituted breeding grounds for anger, mistrust, radical Islamic sentiment and anti-semitism in Europe, as well as helping contribute to the breach between the US and much of Europe.
The solution? The US and European Union should jointly sponsor air transport of Mexicans seeking jobs, to Europe, where they are needed.
