For today’s Republican governors, migrants are simply pawns in a greater game of scoring points against the libs, nayyeroar writes.
of nearly 1.6 million cases. The system requires updating and new rules, leading to calls for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.But we don’t need to wait for a legislative overhaul to fix the problem of masses at the border. There are a number of changes we can start with:
Actually deport people. Congress currently has enough money allotted to remove 400,000 people. The maximum deportations ever reached was under President Barack Obama, around 270,000, according to Allen Orr, a past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Increase the number of temporary work visas for migrant farmers. American agriculture depends on migrant labor and countries south of the border rely on remittance income. Authorize a greater number of visas and allow for workers to return home during the off season. Take the economic and political win in rural America.
All these solutions would go toward establishing an orderly process of dealing with human beings seeking an answer on whether they will be allowed into the U.S. legally, or not. The expertise and resources exist to implement these policies. Busing or flying people to remote locations is the exact opposite of fixing the immigration problem. The actions of these governors are rooted in the belief that migrants from south of the border are bad for the country and asylum laws should not exist.
