I know I will get attack by both side of the political ideology, and I am no way claiming my idea will solve the issue. . But my view is this , there is no silver bullet to solve the immigration problem in US . It is complex and need time, money and effort.
- We need comprehensive immigration reform in this country. We can’t send 11 million people back. This is just not practical. Rather I would like to see we reform the system so those who are undocumented , they became documented and contribute to us economy and build a better US.
- We need sessional work visas so people can come to this country and work and then go back. But we need good tracking system- who are in this country and where they are and when their visa expires they go back and can come back again next season.
- We need to engage more in Latin America. I am no way suggesting we go full force “ Nation building” , but find core reason why parents send their 9 years old girl thousands mills away to have better life. May be fix some of the issue in Latin America – Gang violence and other violence etc, so people from those country doesn’t walk 2k miles to come to US.
- Finally border security – we need that but tadeonal wall building will not do any thing.. we need modern technology like fiber optics or drone etc.
Attacking immigrant or on the other side open border idea .. neither of those will do any good. It has not done any thing last 20 years, and the way things are it will not do any thing next 20 years.
