The ONLY Immigration Policy That Makes Sense

As a result of their every action, policy, and initiative having been proven detrimental to the health, security, and well-being of the citizens of the United States, it has become glaringly apparent the most expedient solution to our nation’s problems is to immediately deport all Republicans.

We the People have watched for decades as elected Republican representatives have systematically sought to destroy the rights and freedoms this nation was founded upon. From a woman’s domain over her own body, to the rights of LGBTers, to the institution of fair voting procedures, to the teaching of actual science in our classrooms, to the protection of the environment, to the separation of Church and State, Republicans have – consistently and without fail – undermined the principles of the Constitution and the spirit of the law.

The obvious solution to our country’s problems is to rid ourselves of our enemies – in this case, domestic rather than foreign – and expel them from our midst.

Once deported, Republicans will face an uncertain future. Perhaps they will land in countries that detain them indefinitely at airports, without access to legal assistance. Maybe they will be let loose to live among the populace, where they will be told to “go back where they came from”, be made fun of for being unable to speak the local language, scorned for their religious beliefs, and forced to take demeaning, low-income jobs that the citizens of the nation they’ve landed in refuse to do.

Well, the fact is that We the People don’t give a fuck where they wind up – as long as they’re NOT here. Let the Republicans screw-up some other country instead of ours. Let them promote their “Christian values” in nations that promote Sharia Law, and see how they fare when confronted with religious ideology as restrictive and abhorrent as their own.

Without Republicans, we would have fair elections without gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the propagation of “fake news” deliberately mis-informing the voting populace. Without Republicans, our school children would be taught science instead of Bible stories. Without Republicans, we would have healthcare-for-all, and equal rights for all – regardless of religion, gender, income, or sexual preference.

Without Republicans, we would have sensible gun control legislation, and increased tax revenue from wealthy individuals and corporations paying their fair share. Without Republicans, our environment would be protected, our food would be protected, our wildlife would be protected, our national parks would be protected. Without Republicans, all citizens would have a right to clean air and clean water, and would never be told that such things are “privileges” to be paid for.

Without Republicans, our hungry would be fed, our homeless would be sheltered, and our sick would be cared for due to the safety-nets that Republicans fight to dismantle at every opportunity.

In other words, Without Republicans, the citizenry would be much better off.

Therefore, the ONLY immigration policy that makes sense is the immediate expulsion of ALL Republicans. They have nothing to contribute that has not been proven to be detrimental to the nation and its inhabitants. They have nothing to offer that benefits the country or the citizenry. They have nothing to bring to the table other than lies, deceit, and hypocrisy.

Without Republicans, we can make an already great nation greater still. We can rise to every challenge, we can re-establish a country based on democratic principles, we can return to being the nation that welcomes everyone who is willing to uphold our common goals.

So if we’re going to deport anyone, let’s start with those who stand firmly against us, rather than those who are willing to risk everything in order to come here and stand WITH us in upholding the very principles that made us a great nation to begin with.

A few deserted islands where they can live out their rugged survivalist Ayn Rand dystopian fantasies? Or what about real-life dystopian countries like Somalia that already have only minimally functional ("limited&quot government? A lot of them have developed a hard-on for Putin. I'm sure he'd take them in if they express enough affection for him?
