Illegal Migrants – an Ethical Approach

Ethical Approach to Addressing Illegal Migrants

I am MAGA—through and through. There is a deep and growing demand for justice, and an urgent desire to make things right—quickly.

However, I take a slightly different view on immigration compared to the black-and-white solutions that dominate today’s discourse.

The illegal migrant crisis is one of the most pressing challenges facing the United States. Its impact has been widely debated and played a significant role in the November 5, 2024, election. While many Americans demand action, some fear the ethical consequences of mass deportation and question whether a one-size-fits-all policy can ever be truly just.

Justice requires both accountability and fair remedies where possible. Many cases warrant outright removal, but we must also recognize that not all illegal migrants are people of ill will.

I’ve seen countless individuals—likely here illegally—working tirelessly in construction, landscaping, and other labor-intensive jobs. Often, they fill positions that American workers are increasingly reluctant to take, particularly with the level of energy and dedication they bring. Are these people bad?

While their presence is unlawful, some have lived ethically and contributed positively to society. Should they be treated the same as those who pose a threat?

Perhaps a more measured approach is in order. And I have a proposed remedy.

Proposed Remedy:

1. Identify Eligible Individuals
   • Screen for illegal immigrants who have demonstrated ethical behavior and compliance with societal norms.
2. Assign a Conditional Liability Status
   • Recognize their illegal entry as a liability but provide a structured path forward.
3. Supervised Accountability System
   • Assign each individual to a designated Illegal Alien Contingency Officer (IACO) (similar to a parole officer).
   • Require weekly check-ins with their IACO.
   • Assure their whereabouts are fully known and up-to-date.
4. Mandatory Community Service
   • Have each complete 100–300 hours of unpaid, verifiable community service.
   • Maintain meticulous records of service.
5. Path to Citizenship Application
   • Once community service is completed, the individual applies for the Right to Pursue Citizenship (RPC Card).
   • Applications are reviewed by a citizen-led ethical board, representing the American people. Their role is to determine whether the individual has made sufficient amends for their illegal entry and merits approval or denial.
   • If denied, the applicant is either deported or given one final chance (max two attempts).
6. Expedited Citizenship Process with RPC Card
   • If approved, the individual receives an RPC Card, which allows them to legally stay in the U.S. while pursuing citizenship.
   • They must remain in contact with their IACO and continue meeting all requirements.
   • They follow an accelerated citizenship path, meeting the same legal requirements as those who immigrate through standard processes.
   • Strict compliance is required—any violation (e.g., missing check-ins or community service) results in immediate deportation.

Why This Works:

✅ Provides a fair and ethical remedy for those who seek to make amends.
✅ Encourages contribution to society through service.
✅ Establishes accountability and oversight while preventing blanket amnesty.
✅ Ensures that only committed and ethical individuals can pursue citizenship.

This approach balances justice with opportunity, allowing responsible individuals to make amends and integrate while maintaining the rule of law.
