Instead of a wall with Mexico, Develop Border With Projects That Benefit Both Countries.
Instead of a wall with Mexico, Develop Border With Projects That Benefit Both Countries.
The Issue
A high volume of Mexican, Central and South American citizens seek economic opportunity or political asylum in America at our border with Mexico. Other nationalities also use this route. Desperation drives some to attempt unsanctioned border crossing, fueling a demand for "coyotes" who promise to secure illegal entry for money. This petition asks US President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to solve the issues around a high volume of undocumented immigrants by putting Refugee Resettlement Zones and Enterprise Zones in a corridor along the border. In this way, those awaiting Green Cards or citizenship determination can be self-supporting during processing while creating jobs in construction, teaching and administration for US citizens.
- There is no need to separate children from Parents
It better serves the needs and philosophy of our "Nation of Immigrants" to take this approach. Economic development is the cornerstone. For instance, Mexico's reliance on natural gas is an opportunity for demonstrating carbon capture and use in industry. Existing Generation 3 or 4 nuclear power plants might also be supplied for the Mexican side of the border. These emerging processes can be bolstered with US venture capital and used to supply the electric power for entire border zone, as well as providing water from Desalination plants. Recreational trails with accompanying camping areas in this border area will expand employment opportunities for US Parks Service. These projects would be a good use for the drug money seized from drug and human trafficking cartels, rather than a wall, which provides more costs than benefits.
Dear Decision Maker:
Please use your position, and influence as an appointed department head to promote these strategies to Enhance Border Security, and Boost Economic Prosperity. America has long served as a beacon of welcome and refuge to the citizens of other countries, as our Lady Liberty symbolizes. We can stand behind this proud tradition and solve current immigration concerns with these "Better Than A Wall" Ideas.
