Ron on Immigration

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" These are the words of Emma Laszuras, inscribed on the Statue of Liberty in New York. Ron would re-write this "drivel" if he had the chance (i.e. were President). At a meeting of the Step-Daughters of the War of 1812, Ron stated emphatically that "while immigrants tend to be stinky, steal state secrets, and cook ungodly concoctions, they have a place in our society." Ron continued, "Who would kick our field goals? Who would pick our strawberries?" But, Ron would like to impose an "Immigrant Cap", similar to what many professional sports leagues in America use. Each state would get a certain number of immigrants per year, based on census figures. In that way, the immigrant population would be held in check and the total number of green cards limited. Ron also feels that a better foreign policy toward Mexico, favoring the peasants and the workers, would improve the obviously desperate economic conditions in which they live. Hopefully, an improved Mexican economy would dissipate the desire for these desperate people to move north and expose their entire lives to crossing the border. If that doesn't work, Ron proposes to build a 15-foot wall along the U.S.-Mexico border with razor wire at the top.
