Some assumptions:
Authorities say there are upwards of 20,000,000 illegal immigrants in the United States.
Most, if not all, of the countries from which the illegal migrants come, get U. S. foreign aid.
According to various sources, the departure countries of nearly all individual unlawful migrants to the U. S. are identified.
Public officials know the costs of public services and benefits, and this information is available to the public
Therefore, officials in our government should do simple math using available information and determine, according to polling standards, approximately how many unlawful migrants from each country are in the U. S. The average cost of providing all government services and benefits for each person in the U. S. should be tallied. Include highways, public education, police protection, national defense, housing, medical care, food assistance, etc., etc. One bureaucrat should be able determine this within a week, if it’s not already known. Then multiply this individual cost factor by the number of migrants from each beneficiary country already determined to be in the U. S.
The migrants’ home countries are not providing these government services for their departed citizens. The people of the U. S. are providing and paying for them. Therefore, the countries of origin owe us money for the care of their citizens. The U. S. executive branch should immediately prepare an official demand for payment in U. S. dollars within thirty days of each beneficiary country’s annual resulting debt to us. This “invoice” should warn that financial aid to the beneficiary country in the amount billed will be terminated at the end of thirty days if payment is not forthcoming. This document should be officially delivered concurrently to the ambassadors of each of these countries. The bills should be delivered simultaneously so that word won’t get around, with some ambassadors leaving the U. S. claiming they “didn’t get the message.”
If all this is done, there will be little need for border enforcement by ICE. Every effected nation will send agents to the U. S., round up their citizens and take them home. The first country that fails to comply with this financial demand should be made an example of by immediately terminating, without negotiation, their U. S. largesse.
By taking these steps the U. S. national debt of 40 trillion dollars can be reduced, ICE agents can sleep better because they will have less deadly jobs, crime will go down and Democrats will have fewer illegal voters with which they plan to win all future U.S. national elections.
