We should punish the countries of origin.
Tariff and impound their goods, confiscate and auction if necessary, to pay for their own citizens’ welfare and deportation................
They need us a lot more than we need them.
And tell those nations that for every dollar we spend caring for (or incarcerating) their citizens, we’ll reduce our foreign aid by $100.00 or more. A cost of $35K to house a prisoner will result in $3.5 million less in relief to whatever impoverished sh*thole country he’s from.
And if we don’t give any foreign aid to that person’s country we send them a bill for 150% of the full cost, along with a happy little note saying that they’d better not come begging to us if they have a natural disaster or any other need of our assistance.
