What is the downside to this idea?

This started off as a snide joking comment I made in another thread, but the more I think about it, why wouldn't this work? What is the downside? It is estimated there are 12 million illegal aliens in this country. With our national debt skyrocketing, our Social Security in trouble why couldn't (or shouldn't) we pass a law that would allow illegal aliens to buy their citizenship. If even only 10% would come forward and buy their citizenship we could raise over two billion dollars. Illegal’s pay $2,000 to become naturalized citizens and they have all the rights afforded to us Americans. The right to driver's license, right to vote, pay taxes, pay into Social Security and never have the fear of being deported. If the government could sell this idea and incentivise this so even more illegals would come forward, then we could make even more money to put toward our national debt and Social Security. We would have an amnesty period for them to come forward and apply for citizenship then after that period any one coming into this country illegally are in fact that, illegal. Perhaps some of that money raised could go to beefing up our border security. Instead of these illegals being a drain on our society they would now be part of the solution and paying their fair share. If we could could get all 12 million to do this we could pay off our national debt. Just because they are now legal won’t affect our unemployment rates or job market as they are here already doing that. What is the down side here?

"multiply" for you spelling fanatics. Oh no, it's okay that you can't spell. The real laugh is when you can't spell while calling somebody stupid. Or in your world, "stoopid". |

I always wanted a phonetic dictionary on the shelves. But regardless of spelling she is correct mathematically. Stoooopid or not, the point was that we had a solution put forth that seems a bit sound to me too. But I'd be shootin for $15,000 a head and no more constitutional birthrights for their little aught-to-be illegal babies. Too bad our founders weren't insightful enough to imagine how that one might have turned out. Plus just think of the capital from the rest of them wanting to buy their way in. The down side? By the time all the drug money gets the rest of mexico's population here, we might just as well be called Mexerica. Might sound a tad racist, but with that in mind, I'm glad I won't likely live long enough to see just how many more will be here in the next twenty years, especially since we won't be employed any longer anyway. |
