Fantastic, I didn't know Lurker Mom supported AOC:
'I think the issue that New Yorkers have is not that there are immigrants coming to New York City, but that immigrants are being prevented from sustaining and supporting themselves. We have New Yorkers, and we have New York businesses, that want to receive migrants and want to employ migrants,' said Ocasio-Cortez, listing an array of New York industries eager to find more employees.
'And the Biden administration's refusal to open up work authorizations or extend [Temporary Protected Status (TPS)] really prevents us from doing what we do best, which is allowing and creating an environment where immigrants from all over the world can create a livelihood here.'
My proposal is different. The wall is impractical in a lot of areas and sucks. We use embassy powers to build a small city across the border in Mexico, set up courts, etc., and process everyone there. Since only 5% are eligible, they make it across the border. Anyone found on this side of the border goes there and is fingerprinted, DNA taken, and is checked for Health and vaccinations. Criminals are handled differently.
We can build another one at the Guatemalan border with Mexico. I think Lurker Mom's and AOC's ideas are progressive, and we do need more underpaid immigrant workers to help those businesses, and it will help Republicans running against immigrants, so let's shift any Federal Money away from Texas and Florida and put it into New York and experiment with the work authorization and TPS.
