The politics and arguments all seem to be missing a couple of simple questions: What can these people do? and Where do we need them to be?
It always seems to degenerate into talking about the mean Mean and the assholes who celebrate conflict to sell advertising space that steals our time and attention.
Here's a simple idea: Pass a quick law that any advertising revenue from stories about immigrants(or any other poverty, contamination, disaster or victim story) has to go to those immigrants or to buying land for them to build villages anywhere we are currently growing corn for ethanol or cattle. Buy the land and give them some rummage sale money for tools, and America will be greater than it ever was. #DontNeedBigTractors
