Politicians should adopt an illegal immigrant program

I propose all politicians in favor of immigrants entering our country illegally partake in an “Adopt an Illegal Alien” program. They can stand at the border and pick an entire family crossing the border to make sure children are not separated from their parents.

Participation in this program requires the sponsoring family to bring the illegal alien family into their home and take care of them free of charge.  This includes paying for all medical and school costs as well as making sure the illegal aliens find jobs. It also includes holding the politician accountable in case the illegal alien breaks the low.

A caveat for Republicans is they cannot use the illegal aliens as domestic servants or landscapers.  We do not want to take jobs away from the illegal aliens currently in their employ.  Democrats will not be allowed to have them vote twice or three times in upcoming elections.  We do not want to meddle in our election process.

Hey, if the “Adopt a Highway” program works why not use the same concept for illegal immigrants.

I also propose we make the program even stronger by borrowing an idea from the teen drinking liability laws that puts a parent in jail if their underage child is caught drinking.  If the illegal alien commits a crime the sponsoring politician must go to jail.  It’s the only humane thing.  This way we will not separate illegal immigrant parents from their illegal immigrant children.

This will kill two birds with one stone.  Society can hold someone accountable for the actions of another while having the extra added benefit of taking another politician out of the Nation’s Capital.  It’s a win-win.

This idea will also save the taxpayers a boatload of money.  The sponsoring politician is responsible for the illegal immigrants housing, food and bills.  We can then use the money saved on harboring criminals to helping our homeless veterans who actually earned a break.

I think two things may happen if we implement this idea.  First, after living with a politician for about a month, most illegal immigrants will run back to their country of origin.  Second, after living with an illegal immigrant family and seeing the reality and not the romanticism of people looking for a better life, most politicians will be in favor of the wall and actually work towards true immigration reform.

If you don’t like that idea I have another one.  We can hire all illegal immigrants to build the wall.  Think about that for a minute.  No.  Not the irony of it, the beauty of hiring cheap labor to complete a job no American wants to do. That’s genius.
