Migration issues
Migration
I am not ‘pro open borders’ or ‘far left’ on migration because I see the negative effect of migration in that migration is used to undercut wages and that migration can be detrimental to the entire working class. However my views on migration vary based on whatever the current conditions exist at the time
I am against open borders and I am against illegal immigration.
I believe the whole concept of Sanctuary cities needs to be reimagined or scrapped all together
The US must work in Central America to address the root causes of migration from Central America, to recognize that we don't need to sacrifice our humanity in the name of security. We also must work with Mexico to make sure that it takes its own border security seriously. Moreover, working with our neighbors to improve security across the region is an imporant component of any policy to promote prosperity and fairness in the hemisphere. A safe and secure region will lead to a safer, more secure United States.
Like Kamala Harris, I also believe that the US also must engage with countries like Mexico and in Central America to address the causes that cause them to migrate to the US illegally
At the same time, the US should make it easier for potential migrants to blur the line between being refugees and migrant workers to make the migration system a little more flexible. However, the US should under this system create a more rigorous system to screen refugees and migrant workers than they do now, along with incentivizing refugees and migrant workers to take vocational education and Adjusting to Culture Shock training , using a boarding school type model to help refugees get assimilated, learn about the culture of America so there is less (or even no) culture shock, and help them be able to get jobs etc.
Under the sytem I mentioned above, I'd also want refugees and migrant workers to be encouraged and maybe even incentivized to to form close relationships with law enforcement in the US wherever they move in addition to encourage law enforcement in the US to sponsor refugees and migrant workers. This world allow refugees, migrant workers and law enforcement people to humanize themselves to each other and for those law enforcement officials to do a better job protecting those refugees and migrant workers from xenophobic and anti migrant abuse from anti migrant xenophobes. Similar to what the ADL suggested in this link. This system would be fused with the “Dignity Proposal” for a few million undocumented migrants/illegal immigrants who are enrolled and eligible for DACA can apply for green cards and obtain American citizenship.
All other illegal immigrants would be eligible under the amnesty to get 10-year work visas so long as they pass a criminal background check, pay taxes, and continue taking an American job. The amnesty states that these illegal aliens will not be eligible for “means-tested benefits or entitlements” and must pay a fine
After holding work visas for 10 years, illegal aliens would be eligible to go through a five-year program, which includes learning English and taking civics courses, to eventually secure a green card. Once a green card is secured, illegal aliens are able to apply to become naturalized American citizens
This also includes mandatory E-Verify, funding for a “full border infrastructure system,” asylum reform, and increased interior immigration enforcement.
America has a broken immigration system which needs to be fixed by politicians, advocates and the administration and we need to reform it. We need Congress to work bipartisanly (full bipartisanhip with everyone from the far left to far right working together) to pass laws that protect immigrants (legal, undocumented-illegal) and refugees from abuse or even things which appear to be abuse.
I feel somewhere inside of me that ideally, the US should consider making all illegals who have lived in the US and contribute in some way to our society for at least 7 years (give or take a few years), and basically assimilated in specific ways “de facto legal by default” (but without publically making such a virtue signaling proclaimation, only through actions not words),
This way , there would be less bickering and divisiveness over this issue since that would be a stealth way to extremely decrease illegals in the US without deporting them or creating harsh anti immigration policies (but different than Ronald Reagen did it, in part because this wouldn’t be amnesty but a fundamental change to permanently blur or even remove the lines between legal and ‘illegal’ immigrant while retro fitting current illegals into this change by making them ‘de facto legal by default’). Can’t complain about ‘illegal’ immigrants if there is hardly a line between legal and illegal immigrants
As for the very rare illegal immigrants who can’t blur the line , don’t meet the Dignity proposal or meet the legal by defacto conditions above here is how we deal with those very rare illegal immigrants.
Using this quote as a guideline “A study of the struggle waged by the English working class reveals that, in order to oppose their workers, the employers either bring in workers from abroad or else transfer manufacture to countries where there is a cheap labour force.” a panel would be created. This panel of people together and collectively would fuse their ideas together to compromise on a way to deal with those very rare illegal immigrants who don’t meet the above conditions (in a way that meshes with the ideals of that quote)
That panel would include Len McCluskey, Henry Cueller, Judge John Roberts, George Lopez, Juan Peron, and a fictional SBNR, empathetic, intuitive, somewhat pragmatic and DIAN (Democrat in all but a Name) version of Jan Bewer
I have no issues with Joe Biden's 42 policy. When a pandemic is happening and our borders are like they are, it's hard to have issues with it but it shouldn't be permanent
Churches shouldn't snitch on illegal immigrants
I think its cool that Joe Biden flying in illegal migrants covertly in the middle of the night (since for some reason it seems like something you'd see in the 1960s or 1970s in the US) but I am not down with it. I know there are good reasons for him doing so but I tend to dwell on the few bad reasons for it (glass half empty)
Undocumented migrants/illegal immigrants and refugees don't commit more or less crime/violent crime than legal citizens. Legal migrants do commit slightly less crime/violent crime than natural born citizens which means that maybe to make our country safer we need to encourage more legal migrants to move here since out of all groups (legal migrants, undocumented migrants/illegal immigrants-refugees and natural born citizens), only one group deviates from the others in terms of crime/violent crime: legal migrants (who commit less crime)
I am against illegal immigrants getting free health care
I believe that migrants to the US should learn English
Immigrants can move to Japan but they can't become Japanese, immigrants can move to Turkey but they can't become Turkish but immigrants can move to America and be American. Any viewpoint to the right of the above viewpoint is unacceptable
I am somewhat ok with NAFTA but better alternatives exist
I support a soft Brexit (in Europe Brexit is not a left-right issue)
I am a Eurosceptic (in Europe, this is not a left-right issue)
