No amnesty: "Compensate ILLEGALS to return home

It’s not such a silly question. 

With all the ideas being thrown around Washington about to do with theL ILLEGAL alien problem, “compensating” them to go home is probably the best idea yet.

  Think about it.  There is no real plan that can be passed which will curtail the influx of ILLEGALS.  Politicians from both parties have been arguing back and forth for years about the problem with no tangible results.  Any real solution to the problem will require billions and billions of taxpayer dollars one way or another, right? 

So instead of being accused of breaking up families or other horrid things that are arguments put forth by the liberal crowd, why not do what we do best?  Let’s just offer “compensation” to those already here to return voluntarily to their country with a stern reminder NOT to come back ILLEGALLY or next time will mean prison time.

Think about it.  We spend billions upon billions on foreign aid every year to help nations all over the globe.  Yet a major problem such as ILLEGAL ALIENS is an endless debate while millions remain here ILLEGALLY and unwanted.  They’re by definition “foreigners”, why not foreign aid for this problem?

The amount for departure can be decided on an individual or family basis depending on the situation.  But it is imperative that some sort of documentation be provided proving the ILLEGAL(S) being compensated have resided in the U.S. for a certain amount of time for payment.

All others will be deported in the usual fashion as quickly as the newly enforced and funded laws can provide.

Even the most liberal of politicians knows there’s going to come a time when this country cannot afford the ILLEGAL masses already here.  They know it but are too afraid of offending their electorate and being kicked out of a job.  They’re not thinking of what‘s best for America and its people.  They claim to be “compassionate” while millions live in fear and poverty. Is that compassion? 

Take Lou Dobbs, the commentator for almost 30 years at CNN.  He resigned the other day on air stating irreconcilable differences between him and management. He was clearly asked to leave because of special interest groups that now have enough say to sway a news network. Every day that passes draws the lines deeper into the sand with a problem that has no real solution that will satisfy everyone.

So why not pay ILLEGALS to leave our country with dignity and a nest egg to restart their lives compliments of the American taxpayer.  Again, the most compassionate country in the history of the world.  It’s an idea that has legs for all involved and a finale that only the most strident advocate of ILLEGAL activity can argue against...

Ever since 9/11, the politicians have been screaming for better security and tighter reins on ILLEGAL ALIENS. But at the same time, other voices scream for compassion and human rights for millions here with no LEGAL status and little chance to find the “American dream” within the shadows they are forced to live in.

  Why not give them this opportunity to walk away with a second chance to restart a life in their own country.  This is an opportunity where they can live without fear and start a life worth living.  If their native countries won’t assist in repatriation, we’ll use foreign aid monies to get the job done. Let’s face it, why can’t we apply “foreign aid” to ILLEGAL aliens that are foreigners in reality?

This is not a new idea.

The other day, Denmark (the most liberal country in Europe) offered immigrants from “non-Western countries” $20,000 to leave Denmark if they “can’t or won’t assimilate into Danish society” Again, we’re talking about liberal Denmark.

It’s the perfect way for every congressman to vote for an easy solution.  Call it “Cash for Departure” or whatever, but it is exactly what will bring all politicians together once and for all.

So the probable argument will be that the ILLEGALS will just go over the border and turn right around, right?

That will not happen because a majority of those here ILLEGALLY will more than likely see a better future being paid to leave now rather than being hunted down after laws are enforced and funded. And that’s what will happen when ALL Washington politicians can agree that this is the best way to end a bad situation.

Then, after the American taxpayer funds all those ILLEGALS who choose to leave by a chosen date without persecution, the new and tougher laws will be enforced with real teeth and punishments that are real and followed.  Those laws will be used to find far less numbers refusing the “Cash for Departure” program for resettlement in their native country. 

Likely, this country will not tolerate ILLEGALS caught on our soil. They will be immediately deported with no excuses accepted.  Those convicted of smuggling will be given strict and long-term prison sentences and then deported.

IF these measures are taken and enforced, word will travel fast that America is no longer an easy mark for welfare and government handouts.  And their native countries will come to know that the United States of America no longer tolerates such criminal and blatant behavior by any peoples of the world.  Come here legally or face criminal prosecution and/or deportation without exception. 

And the first of the new laws against ILLEGAL aliens will be the “anchor baby law”.  No more will ILLEGAL aliens be able to use a child born in the United States as a stepping stone for entire families to stay in this country.

If this doesn’t sound like a fiscally solid idea to the conservative minded, think about this:

  One trip by an ILLEGAL alien to an emergency room that is paid by the American taxpayer costs an average of $1200.00.  Health care reform funded by taxpayers for ILLEGALS makes “compensating” ILLEGALS to depart a pittance.

Is this REALLY such a crazy idea in a country like America?  It seems to be working just fine in liberal Denmark.

Are the Danish people “racists”, simply not compassionate?  I wait with anticipation letters critical of the Danish position.  Are they “irresponsible” protecting their sovereign rights as a nation?
