Public/Private economic development zones offer an incredible opportunity to fix lots of things for the future of this country and it's citizens.

[VanDeKoik]

This is correct.

This is an AMAZING opportunity.

[arizonarick]

Good ideas, Bernie.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Crisis = opportunity. Raise the ante. Staff the employment with illegal aliens in our jails.

It’s gotta be on the other side of the border. Inlanders won’t leave. Not for $7/hr. Put it on Mexico’s southern border.

[Don Corleone]

It also points out the fallacy of the “Open Borders” philosophy!!!

[Uncle Sham]

"Good ideas, Bernie."

This would be a Public/Private investment opportunity of enormous proportions as far as return on investment is concerned. Imagine the taxes generated by this. It would pay for itself. That's anything BUT Bernie.

That is certainly the silver lining. Businesses, frankly, have gotten pretty indolent in relying on China so heavily as a market and for supply chains. Single points of failures are never good and we’re learning that painful but obvious lesson now.

If American companies wake up and go more onshore or to closer neighbors to diversify the supply chain, this could be an amazing rebound to the detriment of China, our biggest enemy on the world stage, irrespective of all the kissy-face niceties we show each other.

It will accelerate the decoupling of the US from China which is undeniably a good thing.

"It’s gotta be on the other side of the border."

That's why I suggest this as a joint effort between the United States and Mexico. Build it and they will come. I am sure, for various reasons, some will prefer one side of the border over the other. Let the investors and manufacturers decide. It'll work either way.

[glorgau]

Yep, shows the risk of making yourself dependent on an unhygenic, lying dump.

[Salvavida]

If public education isn't addressed, none of this matters. We raised a crop of youth that CANNOT REASON, and that is our future.

There is nothing trending that is going to change that, and the demographic change is a time bomb.

Pax Americana ends after DJT leaves office.

4. Mitigation of illegal immigration affect on majority of nation as they migrate themselves back to the border to take advantage of the jobs being created.

My concern is that just might turn Texas blue. Unless we can get them to move to the other side of the border.

[VTenigma]

Pie in the shy.

[Uncle Sham]

"My concern is that just might turn Texas blue. Unless we can get them to move to the other side of the border."

Since the cost of living would be much cheaper on the Mexican side of the border, I would bet that the vast majority of those returning to it would live in Mexico, their home. In addition, if this public/private enterprise zone concept were ever expanded into the inner cities, the gain in the black vote would offset this to a large degree.

[Persevero]

I share your overall attitude. We need to seize the opportunity, meet the challenges, correct errors, move forward. Not cower!

[Robert DeLong]

While that may be true, the narco terrorism is operating heavily along Mexico’s side of the border. So lower costs may not be the powerful incentive you think it is.

[JonPreston]

Thank you for an excellent proposal, I’d vote for this in a second!

Unfortunately, illegal aliens are now so intertwined with our economy that they simply cannot be deported because they are working at every level and they are also consumers supporting both local economies and the macroscopic economy as well.

The numbers are astronomical - we are dealing with tens of millions of illegals and their children residing within the US borders. If we were able to deport all of them we would lose more than 10% of our population

What we can do and need yo do is deport the undesirable and criminal illegals and get illegal and legal immigrants off government welfare
programs

According to the Eric Holder DOJ, around 20% of the illegals are serious, hard core criminals and quite a few more percentage points are just undesirables who commit misdemeanors or drive drunk

They need to go ASAP and the welfare fraudsters will self deport once they need to get a job and support themselves.

In places like San Jose there are illegal alien single mother anchor baby households that have been riding the California welfare system since before the anchor baby was born when the pregnant mothers came into the country illegally and got enrolled in free housing so they could receive free prenatal care and free labor and delivery care of the California and US taxpayer.

A lot of these anchor babies are in their thirties and they grew up on welfare all their lives and they seasoned pros at gaming the government benefits system and they are trained on how to milk the system with the help and coaching of the taxpayer funded social workers who run the system.

I think many would support this idea with more than just votes. It would be an incredible investment opportunity!
