Thomas Homan... Border Czar
Citaat:
Remigration
Trump has named a former head of ICE as border czar with the express order to begin a vast process of eviction of illegal migrants. Basically all stick, no carrot. And, at least for now, it looks like no addressing the demand problem, the siren calls to migrants (businesses hiring the illegals, the benefits system, ...). Is this the best way to go about it? In any case, if the Americans truly do go all in with this, in Europe we can learn from the process.
There are 1.3 million illegals in America that have already been processed for eviction. This will be the “easy” part. You still have to find them and arrange for transport to their countries of origin but let’s assume that this can be done more or less painlessly. That leaves another 10 or 15 million unprocessed. Every single one of whom constitutionally has the right to their day in court. Individually. The backlogs in the court system will be monumental. And the costs. Potentially hundreds of billions according to some sources.
Would it not make sense to go about this from the opposite end? As it stands, illegals in America, and most definitely in UK, have huge incentives to make the perilous journey. They know they can find well paid (by third world standards) employment. They can find a decent place to live, and sometimes far better than decent…
It would be far more efficient, cheaper, and probably faster to attack this end of the chain:
1) Meaningful penalties for employers of illegals and with a sufficiently high probability of being caught.
2) No housing without papers in order. Again, with meaningful penalties for infracting landlords.
3) A remodelling of the entire benefits system which, as it currently stands, seems specifically designed as a magnet for illegals.
4) Elimination of gaping loopholes in the system such as in the foreign student visa programme in the UK.
Trump’s current plan (or at least what we can imagine it will be) will already face huge opposition from the left. A plan of the type outlined here, would not only face this opposition but added to it would be those who benefit from the current system, especially employers who pay illegals very low salaries, and the entire migrant housing industry, now worth billions.
Of course I realise that these beneficiaries, employers, landlords, second tier universities in the UK, etc., will not give in without a fight, and they will coach their arguments in moralistic terms, allying themselves with the woke set. A fight for the ages, but now is the time!
(Yes, we could gleefully look forward to watching those with blue hair valiantly defending employers exploiting migrants and capitalists milking the system for billions. Let’s call that a side benefit of this plan.)
In any case, eliminate the incentives and far fewer will come and many will leave. That is the goal of Trump, and the goal of those who push for remigration in Europe. But doing it this way I have no doubt would be far quicker and easier. And a long term solution, rather than a stop gap.
I am not anti-immigration per se. Some level of QUALIFIED immigration is probably needed. But an immigration system largely built around who can evade immigration controls, and not around the needs of the host country, whether America or UK or any European country, is patently absurd.
