IMMIGRANTS: A practical solution

| September 13, 2019 1:00 AM

Just a thought…

If 45 was truly a genius businessman, he’d create an immigrant safe territory at the border and build factories and apartments on the border rather than a wall. Adjust the immigration policies to allow immigrants to live in the immigrant-safe territory, work in the factories for minimum wage and pay rent on living quarters while they qualify for citizenship.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is returned to a manufacturing leader in the world. The expense of immigration/detainment is eliminated. The U.S. benefits from manufacturing without having to pay SSI or unemployment.

Secondly, Republicans are truly missing a giant opportunity. Given the polls indicating plunging support for 45, they could improve their credibility by supporting impeachment, pat themselves on the back for admitting they had been hoodwinked and offer up a brilliant new candidate.

Of course there are hurdles. Nothing is simple or easy but positive solutions are easier to sell and embrace than the constant fighting.
