Idea for illegal immigrants
I've never heard this, but here's an idea: offer buy-out packages to illegal immigrants.
We pay them to leave. By agreeing to voluntarily leave, they get money, but they also get to be on the legal immigration list (whether that is a lottery thing or what, but it is the normal immigration channels). If they return illegally after accepting this buy-out, there would be penalties of one kind or another. I.e. the disincentive would be quite high. Deporting people all across the country is not practical, nor cost efficient. Last edited by MikeWaters; 04-10-2009 at 06:00 PM. |

the current idea is to heave pensions waiting for them in Mexico.

Instead of that why not make them an offer that they can be an American citizen if they serve two years in the Army?

We kinda already do that. You can accelerate your naturalization that way.

sorta. tell a military recruiter you are not a citizen and he/she will tell you you can expedite it by enlisting.
