Open the borders now

If there’s a basic income of $200 a week for all adult citizens, it could be phased in to migrants so that after every year they’ve spent in the country (calculated by days; days spent abroad only postpone full entitlements by the same number) their weekly entitlements grow by $20.

However, they would be entitled to a tax rebate of the full amount of the basic income on any taxes they pay; if we assume a 25% income tax, migrants would only start effectively paying taxes on weekly earnings exceeding $800; amounts below that would be registered and immediately refunded. The taxes paid could shorten the time to full entitlement so that one who has no (official) sources of income would get it after 10 years, and reaching the zero tax level shortens it to 5 years, and so on. This creates an incentive to participate in the formal economy, and reduces employers’ ability to steal immigrant workers’ wages because there’s a clear paper trail, and stops the state from exploiting the labor of immigrants by taking taxes without offering anything in return. If there’s a non-income tax, the tax rebate could be offered in cash. Give every citizen and resident a wage account (if necessary, buying the entire country of Estonia is cheaper than trying to have the US government/its incompetent crony contractors implement it) which automatically calculates and pays taxes correctly and gives people an easy way to have full guaranteed compliance to the taxation.

As far as voting rights are concerned, depending on how vulnerable the immigrant population is to the democratic mob, one could argue that making everyone wait 18 years from arrival (whether by birth or immigration) is fair (assuming strong constitutional protections so the citizens can’t just decide to start exploiting the migrants or deporting them), or one could tie it to the full welfare eligibility which would arrive sooner.

Anyone can come in, as long as they are carrying enough money for an ID card, vaccinations, and a mandatory return ticket so they can go back on their own expense if they need to (this is just to pacify the asshole voters; it should be an unnecessary expense for the vast majority of immigrants). Their arrival would be registered so that even if someone steals their passport/ID card they can go to the cops and tell them they arrived in the country through the immigration office of Whateveritwas and can verify their identity that way (once again, use estonians instead of trying to buy american) and now the asshole who took their docs is in trouble.

When “illegal” immigrants are discovered, they are promptly asked to register at their nearest immigration office so they get on the citizenship track asap and don’t miss out on their legal rights.

Pre-welfare-eligible immigrants would get healthcare they can pay for, plus the very basics of infectious disease prevention, maternal and emergency healthcare, and the most cost-effective routine care. It’s probably better than what they could’ve received in Shitholistan anyway, and if americans see people not having access to proper healthcare in their own neighborhood they’d probably be more interested in doing something actually effective about it, while people suffering the same thing in Shitholistan just elicit a shrug and a “whatever, my niece is going there as a totally useless voluntourist mainly for the photo ops”. Maybe it would divert nonprofit funds from Make-a-Wish to ‘Helping Even Non-Cute Immigrants With Common Diseases’.

If one is eligible for asylum and protection, one gets the full welfare benefits immediately, but rejected asylum seekers would still be allowed to stay because nobody must ever be deported back to Shitholistan.

yes it creates more visible inequality in the US and that’s exactly the point because the inequality is already there and assholes are just saying it doesn’t count because it’s a different country but guess what I don’t believe in countries and borders I believe in people and it’s really unfair bullshit that the privilege of one’s birth is allowed to determine one’s fate so thoroughly with this plan instead after ten years people would be far more equal and that’s way better than having people non-consensually stuck in Shitholistan just because some assholes are whining about their tax dolla
