Let’s Shrink Illegal Alien Population, Save Billions at Same Time
The usually discussed techniques for lowering the size of the illegal alien population are two in number:
Reducing the inflow of illegals, such as by building a wall; and
Mandating the departure of others through deportation.
There is a third variable, rarely discussed, that reaches the same goal without coercion and could be something that Democrats and Republicans might agree on: the subsidized and voluntary departure of some of the undocumented and other aging, low-income foreign-born. It probably would require an act of Congress.
I am thinking of a technique for selectively encouraging the emigration of those among the foreign-born who are most likely to become welfare users in the future. It would save billions and billions of federal dollars a year, and some state funds as well.
