My solution. Completely open boarders....give illegal immigrants the right to work....but no right to welfare or food stamps. If they get cold or hungry...let them look back to their home countries or on the voluntary charity of others for food and shelter.
Heywood, I've found something I can agree with you about. But we do let their kids in public schools right?
Yes....educate their children, I would even go as far as providing them medical care. After they are here long enough(say supporting themselves for 10 years)....give them permanent resident status and then maybe other entitlements(like the universal basic income I advocate).
The point is let them come here to work. Don't let them come in for a free lunch.
