Some people want a wall. Some people are strongly and violently opposed to it.
People opposed to the wall argue that borders should be eliminated. They argue that the USA should be an open land and that all are welcome; that refusing anyone is racism, fascism, Nazism.
People wanting a wall say that illegal immigration is costing Americans jobs. They argue that illegal immigrants do not pay taxes and do not contribute to the overall country’s welfare while Americans pay for the illegals’ kids’ educations, the illegals’ healthcare costs as well as welfare, lodging and food programs. They argue that criminals slip through and threaten our security.
There is a simple solution that will make everyone happy.
Every good hearted and well-intentioned citizen that believes that illegal immigrants are entitled and welcome in this country must sponsor at least one illegal immigrant.
By sponsoring, the American citizen becomes responsible for the welfare of that illegal immigrant. The sponsor is legally bound to provide shelter, food, spending money, healthcare, and education. On his or her dime alone. No tax deduction will be allowed to offset the cost of the illegal immigrant. Should the illegal immigrant get into any legal trouble, attorney fees will be paid for by the sponsor. Monetary reparations if ordered by a judge will be the sponsor’s responsibility. The sponsor will also bear all costs of legalization for the illegal immigrant, including visas application fees and health examinations costs required by the US immigration authorities.
A beautiful solution where everybody wins.
Illegal immigrants, once sponsored, come in and become the charge of good hearted and selfless citizens.
Low paying American workers get to keep their jobs or find new ones. Hourly rates on these jobs will rise. Companies employing illegals today get away with paying ridiculously low wages to illegal immigrants that have no choice but to accept whatever the “boss” says. This will not be tolerated anymore. Illegal immigrants will be taken care of by outstanding citizens. They will no longer be abused and placed in half slavery. Minimum wages will be honored. Money paid to the American workers and the legal immigrants means more money in taxes without having to raise percentages across the nation. Less money needed for unemployment.
With no money from American taxes collected being spent on Illegal immigrants’ education, healthcare, lodging, utilities, food, and legal issues such as deportation, more money will be available for health programs, education, military and veterans’ benefits, roads and bridge repairs… and what about paying off that big debt we owe? Could we hope for lower taxes and more social benefits in a not too distant future, thanks to these wonderful sponsors?
No need for shouting matches and name calling. Selfless Americans will bear the responsibilities that come with their philanthropic ideas. They will, instead of violently protesting, do something for the cause they so strongly believe in. They will generously spend their own money to support the people coming from all over the world for better opportunities in America. They will act bravely and take it upon themselves to show to the world that actions speak way louder than words!
I am confident that this program will be fully endorsed by the mainstream media reporters, the celebrities, and the activists. They will surely be the first ones signing on the dotted line to become proud sponsors of illegal immigrants.
