... though I must admit, your idea does have quite an appeal as well. ;)
I can send clients to the caribbean or South America for as little as a grand apiece on a cruise ship. If you took out the amenities (TV's, nice linens, etc. store them in a warehouse for a few months, and give the cabin stewards a bonus for having to put up with the crap (literally, I am sure). and placed 6-8 to a room, added life rafts to meet regs, and cooked beans and rice along the way, we can cut that to about $500 per, or less. Give the balcony cabins and suites to those that volunteer to go home. Drop them offalaong the way in their home country, with an application to return.
But, they must first pass an english comprehension test, and have a job guaranteed, a place to live (not crowded ten to a room), and absolutely NO PATH TO citizenship, nor any right to our social services.
The law says that a sponsor is "responsible" for their charges. That should include medical care, etc. If the kids want to go to American schools, they should be allowed, but they do not get any services, and they must pay!
Does anybody know any immigration judges? I'll start talking to cruise lines today.
Oh yeah, take those damn anchor babies back with you. They can come back when they grow up, and get in line. maybe we can give them a couple of spaces closer to the front.
