Immigration: The Final Solution

Friends! Countrymen! The solutions are legibly here for one and all on issues generally considered important. Posted individually and subject to future improving modification, they will be brought together in a new category named The Final Solution. Let us make haste, for diversion and Sophists have ruled the day—until now. Let the superciliousness begin!

Immigration: The Final Solution 

  1. In general accordance with npg.org ideas (NPG), excepting their position on abortion, the United States will move towards “a smaller and truly sustainable…population accomplished through smaller families and lower, more traditional immigration levels. Only with a much smaller population can we protect our fragile ecosystems, conserve our finite resources, and ensure that future generations will inherit a clean and healthy environment where all Americans can enjoy a quality standard of living.” To accomplish this, people must become educated, and women will be encouraged to have “no more than two children which would cause our fertility rate to drop to 1.5, because many women choose to have just one or none.”
     
  2. All illegal immigrants will be deported immediately. Illegal immigrants will be confined during their deportation procedures in at least a dozen efficient, simple, and low cost immigration camps along the border. Time is of the essence in deporting illegal immigrants and they will be deported quickly and efficiently, favoring lower cost confinement and exit transportation, for example. If an immigrant cannot readily prove his legal status while in United States custody then all objections and applications regarding citizenship or legal status may be applied for from the illegal immigrant's country of origin. The immigrant will bear the burden to prove legal status, not the United States. A national database of legal immigrants of fingerprints and pictures will be established for ease of identification.
     
  3. To reduce the incentive for illegal immigrants coming to the U.S., all employers (anyone giving another person money or benefits in exchange for work) will be required upon significant penalty to verify employees' U.S. citizenship or legal status through a national database. Counterfeit proof measures will be taken state and nationwide to ensure authenticity of citizens' birth certificates, social security cards, licenses, and other means of identification. Employers, schools, hospitals, and all government institutions will be required to verify U.S. citizenship through a national database and report illegal immigrants to deportation authorities. Identification checks will begin earnestly at suspected work sites and businesses.
     
  4. Children will be not be granted United States citizenship by virtue of being born within the U.S. The special status of allowing Cubans to stay in the U.S. “if you can reach dry land” will be eliminated, along with all policies encouraging illegal entry.
     
  5. Immigration law will be changed back to national origin quota based immigration, allowing people from all countries an opportunity to live in the U.S., and family exemptions for U.S. citizens should be taken into account when calculating acceptable and total immigration levels.
     
  6. The cultural behaviors of immigrants, including visitors, will be fairly assessed such as their propensity for violence, assimilation characteristics into American society, etc. The quality of the immigrant should be reviewed, such as their belief or value system, willingness to work, and health status. Immigrants with behaviors and qualities that are not exemplary should be disallowed from citizenship. Visitors to the U.S. from a particular country who excessively violate their stays or temporary visas in the U.S. will have their country of origin's tourism to the U.S. penalized first and then largely banned.
     
  7. Immigrants seeking working, studying, business travel, or visitation immigration to the U.S. will be subjected to secure counterfeit proof identification procedures.
     
  8. Political refugees and asylum seekers will be taken on a case by case basis in light of the U.S.'s positive efforts for a smaller sustainable population. Foremost for these people will be assistance by the U.S. to correct their country of origin's emigration difficulties, and in the extreme case, a military response to correction. Helping other countries achieve freedom and happiness for their citizens will be paramount for the U.S.'s immigration policy.
