Fine, how specific do you want it?You advocate upping the minimum wage just enough for these people not to qualify for state aid. Be honest. It's the same routine that was under Clinton. Furthermore, you aren't interested in push factors because you would be on the front lines of nailing the US interests that have been exploiting the resources in their countries of origin. Be honest. You are absolutely aware that it depresses the wages of native workers and disproportionately effects African Americans. You just don't give a damn. Long live the Chicago School, eh? Neoliberals.Displaced low wage earners were a result of illegal immigrants? You have studies to support that? It had nothing to do with for instance, increased pressure from low wage countries? Increased automation of production? And no I don't advocate lowering wages. I advocate upping the minimum wage. The Trump administration is touting employment figures that come down to full employment. Full employment means that there are jobs that are not getting filled. Jobs that aren't getting filled are detrimental to the economy. Do you know what the interaction of those forces mean on the cost of immigration? Neither do I. The point is, that it's not as straightforward as you might think. A wall sounds like a good idea because it's decisive. Common sense though says that if a person is willing to leave the place they grew up. Walk, in some cases thousands of miles to an uncertain future in a country that especially under Trump makes abundantly clear that they are not welcome. A wall will not deter them either.Define a good secure border? At a bargain price of call it 50 Billion not including maintenance, you would have a barrier, breachable by the simple expediency of putting up a ladder. It takes an army to completely secure 2000 miles of border that is also not included in the cost. Again what is the point? I've yet to see even a definitive study that illegal immigration in itself is detrimental to the economy. By all means try to secure a border. But a physical barrier is nothing more then a big symbol of ineptitude not to say stupidity.
Displaced low wage earners---which is exactly what we saw in Florida during the 90s and in Chicago and in many places in the South. So, basically what you are advocating for is lowering wages.
Common sense? Like supply and demand of workers? Look it up yourself, dude.
The Impact of New Americans
Yes, Immigration Hurts American Workers
https://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell....om/&httpsredir=1&article=1243&context=cahrswpI love it when people try to assume how the other person thinks, without even trying to check. Not for nothing, I'm not the one desperately trying to make something as complex as the consequences and solutions to illegal immigration to the size of a single line.or simply decent trade agreements, more effective international aid. Making the countries they come from, more capable of providing a stable country.
No. The devil is in the details, baby. You will need to get really specific. None of that has any need for the rest of America to send any type of international aid.
You will need to address the neoliberal policies via the IMF and World Bank, privatization etc.
-I would get rid of all farm subsidies since they are put in place to have, what comes down to overproduction. This results in dumping in third world countries. Then the IMF and world bank uses it's outstanding debts to use as a cudgel to make sure the governments of those countries can't protect their own farmers. I think that's diabolical.
- I would up the minimum wage to what amounts to allowing someone to survive in if not comfort then a certain sense of security.
- I would take certain sectors of the economy out of the for profit realm. Education, Prisons and healthcare to name the most obvious ones.
- I would focus international aid on long term economical project as much as possible, infrastructure is the best example and try to limit direct aid as much as possible.
