We don't have money for the 1.9T fluff plan the Dems just passed. They made no effort to cut anything. They are just printing money. And, by printing money, I mean that they are stealing money from future American generations for the current generations. A "Marshall" plan would just steal more money from future American generations and give it to current Latin American generations. I mean, sure, why not? Fuck future US generations. Who cares about my kids and your kids, and their kids. No one in DC. And no one who proposes that the US government continue with 1T+ deficits every year. But, neither party intends to stop doing that, so the only real political issue to debate is what we will do with the money we steal from future generations. OK, let's get down to it.
First and foremost, can we agree that any solution should involve enforcing the current laws right now. If Congress changes them, then enforce the new laws. That is also funny, isn't it. It is certainly not happening. The Dems like to impeach Republicans who do disregard the law, but they love Dem presidents who disregard the law. That is what makes us the same as a banana republic.
But how about this, regarding the immigration "problem":
1) Lock down the border. After all, that is the law now. Enforcing a border is the first and most basic rule of having something we call a country or a nation. In priority, it should come before any other government function. Everything else should be secondary.
2) Decrease handouts to immigrants to near nothing. Let private charities hand out bottles of water, and help people get settled. (And if this happens, I will donate to those charities.)
3) Then, start opening the border in a well regulated way. Allow anyone willing to come here who will (i) register, (ii) be subject to a background check (if possible), (iii) health screened and get all vaccination (especially covid...and if we don't have enough for Americans, they have to wait), (iv) pledge allegiance to the United States and renounce their allegiance to their previous country, (v) learn English, and (vi) work for a living. Let all those people in, regardless of race or whatever other stupid ways the liberals like to group people.
Do this, and we get hard workers, who are health screened and registered as tax payers...good people. They get to come here to a non-racist, freedom oriented country that provides them greater opportunity than their originating nation. Win-win for everyone. And the US government isn't just devaluing and handing cash out to people (thereby keeping them down) when it can't even pay its own bills.
Having said all of that, I will say this: Everything I said is a pipe dream. It will never happen. So it is easy for me to say it. No one in DC is interested in a principled way to solve the problem, because most don't think it is a problem. Rather, they think it is a great situation which provides them a way to posture every two years during election time. So, I'll just sit here, and watch them posture as they destroy the country. I certainly can't do anything about it.
