Call to tax Mexico $2,000 per illegal immigrant to pay for Trump’s wall

The idea is not a bad one, but strictly speaking is insufficient and is missing the point.

Requesting a fine for every person crossing the border illegally is somewhat inapplicable and lacks purpose.

If one considers that every individual caught at the border is a good enough base, I'd say: what about all those who do not get caught?

What about all the expenses incurred while detained and until they are returned to their respective countries?

Immigration problem solved

A more objective and rewarding approach should be taken.

Let's make a deal !

• The average American pays $8,000 in Federal Taxes per year.
• For every American (320,000,000) the Federal Government holds 7 Acres of Land. (2,27 Billions Acres per head comes to about 7 Acres per person.)

Categories of Immigrants:

Legal Applications

• Based on a merit system should be the norm. Merit system has been somewhat used in the past. Including talented individuals or financially well off individuals, this category of people has always been favored for immigrating.
• By sponsor is also the other method. Sponsors have ranged from employers to family members. In either case, the sponsor becomes the financial guarantor for the new resident. (this is how I immigrated, this how my mother immigrated)
• By marriage.

Breaking the Law

Illegally crossing the border; getting caught or not; Asking for asylum and other reasons can be dealt with by making a deal with the country of origin or the residency seeker himself.

Each working age immigrant should able to pay $8,000 per year to Federal Coffers (working or not working). If not, the country of origin should pay the remaining yearly balance. If Lawyers and their fees are eliminated, a big chunk of this money should be available considering how lawyers take advantage of illegal immigrants seeking legalization.

OR

The country of origin must provide the US Federal government a parcel of Land of 7 acres closest to US mainland as compensation for the inclusion into the family. The Land parcel would give the individual citizenship status.

In conclusion

Making a deal could be quite advantageous for the US. Increased funds or land areas could provide a nice buffer zone for the southern border. Who knows, it could increase the American Empire, with real tangible expansion.

Another way look at it
