The U.S. introduces a new, streamlined immigration process that makes it easy for any law-abiding person to come to this country. Basically, immigrants would be held temporarily at border camps to check for health, criminal, and security risks. As long as they had proper ID and cleared background checks, they would be allowed to enter the country and put on a citizenship waiting list. The whole process would take 3-6 months.
The other part of the plan is that these immigrants would not be eligible for any public benefits beyond emergency healthcare, police services, and basic education. Anyone trying to enter outside of the easy, legal channels would be punished severly upon conviction. Immigrants would also have to enroll in English education classes.
It seems this plan would satisfy both sides. Immigrants could easily come here for a better life, without being a drain on other Americans or security risks. They would be encouraged to adapt to our language and culture. Agree?
