Isn’t it long past overdue that a fair and equitable solution be implemented to address the problem of a massive flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border? Don’t count on any practical solution coming from the Biden administration, as this excuse for a president only denies that any problems exist, lies about the metrics that show the scope of those problems and blames everyone else for the piss poor policies he has implemented. Remembering first of all that these people are illegally crossing over a sovereign border( where many less humane regimes would have shot them on sight for doing so)I propose the following program. Given that the US is the largest owner of land in the US, much of it available for farmland and ranching (lots of it are already leased out to farmers and ranchers) illegal immigrants should be offered a choice. You can choose to be removed from the country or to work on a farm or ranch while going through the process of becoming future US citizens. This policy needs to be broadcast throughout the US and the Latin and South American countries from which most of these immigrants come from.  Instead of burdening the social services networks with providing for these people they can contribute to food production and at least partially pay for their own food and housing. When the word spreads that you can’t just come here and live off charity, some may choose not to come. For those that are truly looking to escape oppression and or looking for an opportunity to better their lives and those of their families they are welcome to be responsible, work on a farm or ranch and go thru the process of assimilating into being future US citizens like the generations of immigrants who did so legally. Maybe we will try something like this if the GOP can return to the White House after the 2024 election?
