From:
George Weinbaum (e-mail
him)
Rummaging through my immigration files, I came upon this
story from one of amnesty’s biggest advocates, the
Houston Chronicle.
Wrote reporter James Pinkerton:
"And although the
immigration system is complex, the basic problem is
simple: There are many more immigrants wanting to enter
than the number of visas available each year under a
quota and preference system implemented by Congress". [Visa
Backlog Puts Lives on Hold for Years,
by James Pinkerton,
Houston Chronicle, June 15, 2008]
If so, we have learned anything from
"Uncle
Miltie", aka
Milton Friedman,
raise the visa
fee!
Auction
off 300,000 visas a year (that’s a lower number than are
being handed out today).
Why
300,000? It's .001 of our current population, rounded
down.
My
idea of a fair price: $250,000 each. That
would generate
$75 billion a year. Furthermore, any immigrant who can
afford $250,000 would likely be self-supporting.
Lastly, any illegal alien who entered without a
valid visa
might be charged with some variant of grand theft.

scores is
