Immigration Issues

Planet Earth is not designed with borders.  In our increasingly interconnected world, capital is free to flow across borders and so is labor.


I propose adjudication for the undocumented with a path to citizenship. We must end the present status quo which allows for a permanent  population of second class citizenship.

Possible alternatives:

Perhaps a  fine equal to ten percent of one's yearly income and 100 hours of community service would be a productive penalty. 

I will advocate for mandatory citizenship classes and English language training, We need to be able to talk with each other.


I will advocate for a reduction in immigration in the short term solely   to allow time for the foreign-born 13% of our present population to integrate and prepare society for what must come.  Ignoring cultural pressures is foolish. Note nationalistic push back against immigrants in Europe.

We must develop a long-term plan to prepare  for climate change refugees which will mean open borders.

We are losing our democratic republic. Corporate power has been merging with governmental power to serve its own interest, not the nation's. I support economic democracy.
