Now forgive me justcurious, I'm not running defense for her, but she didn't actually put forth the idea of charging illegals an entry fee. It was within the original posting. But since you do not agree with that, you join the ranks of the thinkers amongst the group on that issue, but I'd like to hear her take on the issue beyond the math. Mallory? Bad idea. I'd expand on this but it would stir up a couple of guys who would make ugly responses. |

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? One downside is that $2,000 times 12 million is only $24 billion. Only enough to pay for a month or two of our Mideast wars.
You don't even lie very well. There was no lie. The mention of the mideast wars costs was only to put the amount in perspective. Still a comment on the math. Good try, but you still struggle to state the truth. Have another go at it. |

Good try, but you still struggle to state the truth. Have another go at it. I'll give you a little information on math. You can use it to compare different quantities. Like equal to, greater than or less than. Their symbols are =, > and < respectively. I could have said $24 billion would be equal to the interest on the national debt for about 45 days. Still math. Now let's get on with our lives. |
