A. Barton Hinkle on How Immigration Crackdowns Hurt All Americans
This article sounds like common sense, but when it comes to the US-Mexico problem it misses the mark by a mile. Yes, if the permanent existence of two states in North America were accepted, there should be no problem with Mexicans coming to visit, work, etc., as long as they stayed Mexican citizens. The problem is that many want to become voting American citizens, giving ditto to their children, while at the same time they want to keep two separate countries, dividing their loyalties. This 1-sided situation has been and always will be pure trouble, and it's not about racism or culturalism, it's about why do we need two nations in the first place to share the New World in peace and prosperity.
Both major parties trivialize the issue and just jockey for position, wasting valuable time. The whole debate must be shifted to a new paradigm, namely, the INCORPORATION OF MEXICO INTO THE U.S. AS 10 NEW STATES, which I call the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Once that paradigm is on the table, the whole issue is finally headed for a happy ending.
WHY NOT make all 110 million Mexicans into US citizens in return for adding their territory to the US so that migration can be in both directions? The power of freedom and free enterprise will then be able to go to work bringing the 10 new states up to the same level of development as the other 50 as whole new cities are built, especially on the huge coastline. The new bigger U.S. will then be far more defensible from illegal immigrants from other continents, as well as from foreign invasion. The only thing that has to go is the ever-corrupt Mexican govt., but who needs it? It's the win-win solution.
This is REASON.com, hence I hope readers will appreciate that I've thought it all out and everybody should take the time to study it after turning off their glands and turning on their frontal lobes. It's not a leftist or rightist idea because it's above partisan politics. Both major parties need to get behind it to launch it in Congress, after which it can happen in just years, making the US permanently bigger, stronger, and safer. If the new paradigm isn't put on the table, the US will just get weaker each year, what a waste.
