In light of the continuing controversy over illegal immigration, the most sensible idea about illegal immigrants currently living in the United States is to integrate them into the production process. U.S. companies which relocate its manufacturing again on American soil, will be able to recruit this competitive workforce, which will be compensated under the bond given in replacement of regular salary. These immigrants in turn, after five years of uninterrupted work, may apply for permanent residency and then citizenship. This is a primary and a basic solution that aims to combat unemployment by encouraging domestic manufacturing, while regulating the unauthorized immigration.
However, authorized immigration could be regulated effectively by the creation of free immigration agreements in the same way that free trade agreements exist. The same rationale would apply for immigration. That is, the treaty would be negotiated with countries that share our basic values of law and democracy, and where is not expected a stampede of immigration in the medium term. Migrants between the countries signatories of the agreement would have the rights of permanent residents but retaining their original citizenship.
When you make a trade between two countries generally pursued mutual benefit. In the case of an immigration treaty, several studies have shown that the free movement of people among countries usually contributes to greater prosperity when that movement is controlled.
Specifically, in the U.S. case, a free immigration would benefit from joint trade agreements since it would stimulate the transit of U.S. citizens to other countries.
Many strategies can be thought and some actions can be taken, but certainly something we have to do in the short term to legislate and implement real solutions immigration voting.
