Riding through the Southwest, I've had a lot of time to think. And listen to the non-stop debate on immigration.
And maybe because I'm in the land of Wylie E. Coyote--a genius--I've come up with a brilliant solution.
Every morning when I go out, the street corners are occupied by groups of young Hispanic men. Back home on the East Side, there's lots of young men on street corners. And you know what they're doing.
Here, they're out looking for work. On some of the blocks, there's a bright yellow sign (like our political lawn signs) that says "Day Laborer Pickup".
These immigrants---legal or illegal---work and they work hard.
The debate seems to be boiling down to what do we do with the 11 million illegals who are here?
You can build a wall, but what about the people who are here? The Prez says "guest worker" and then they can go home and wait nine years. Get real. The Dems will do what they do best (nothing) and let the Repubs impale themselves on this.
First of all, the 11 million is a lie. No one knows. Another term for them is "undocumented workers". If they're illegal and undocumented, no one has any idea how many there are.
But forcibly evicting 11 million people is a feat even the Nazis couldn't pull off.
I have a plan to do it voluntarily and at no cost.
The President is to immediately increase the size of green cards issued in Mexico by 2 million per quarter. Issued only to Mexican residents. To be done for the next 8 quarters.
There would be a mad scramble of illegal aliens back to Mexico in the biggest voluntary mass migration in human history.
We'd be allowing a legal form of entry for millions of people, but under our terms.
Every illegal here now would know that a tidal wave of documented legal immigrants was heading their way. To take their jobs.
And the only way to get a green card is to return to Mexico.
