Back to the immigrant thing:

 

Imagine 50 people at a MAGA rally being told they were going to be taken to Mar A Lago, but then flying them to Venezuela instead.

My biggest problem with the left in Canada is their tendency to go too far in spending programs.

My biggest problem with them is related to that. It is that they seem to think every problem should be resolved with a  spending program AND that only they could possibly come up with the right (spending) solution.

Must appease the NDP to stay in power. I know, let's hand out temporary rent subsidies!

Completely agree. They promised to spend more on nursing homes at the height of the pandemic. Thats been replaced by a dental program. Don't forget to throw some corruption into the equation.

The President walks into congress (while on camera) and says, "The division is over. We are done arguing against each other and we're going to begin working for America again, so let's do this:

1. Kamala Harris is going to head up a bipartisan committee to review and reform the immigration laws.

2. We're going to have an all-governors conference and ask that all the governors bring an assessment of how many refugees they can take and what skillsets they;re looking for. 

3. We're going to Re-open the Bergstrom Air Force Base in Austin and Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio (BRAC bases) as refugee staging areas.

4. We're going to mobilize the National Guard that have Civil Affairs units to assist with HHS and State HHS', DHS, FEMA and border patrol to facilitate the refugees migration to other states. In addition, we're going to mobilize those JAG units to help with the paperwork. 

5. Each state will mobilize their National Guard to act as a receiving station for the orderly and humane processing of these refugees.

6. Any refugees found to be criminals in their own country or found carrying illicit drugs will be deported back to their countries' immediately.

This takes effect tomorrow. 

OK. Maybe the Kamala was a stretch (or she would have done it already).         

What do "skill sets" have to do with refugees?

If they're fleeing for self preservation and a safer life, why is acceptance dependent on their ability to perform?

Why would any human rights be based on performance qualifiers??

Perhaps I should have changed number 2 to number 3 and vice versa. 

a, They're already here and safe at a BRAC base (Ellis Island).

b. Never said or meant to imply that acceptance was dependent on their ability to perform. Their future success will be based on their ability to perform, but that's true of any US citizen immigrant or not.

I never said that. Now let's address the first and most important question:

 They came here for a new life and to provide better for their families. let's do that. During disasters, let's use Katrina. I set up thirteen 1,000-person stand-alone base camps and with that comes every facet and skill for a small city. Food Services, housing (hotel services/sleep quarters (male/female, families)) water tenders, latrine services (black water, laundry services, HVAC, electric, logistics, supply, (trucking/forklifts) medical, MHW, etc. etc. (Not unlike a civil affairs mission). 

I would bring a cadre of (usually veterans) for 30-45 day rotations. Disaster victims (refugees) had no money or no access to money. We went around and found out what skills they had or were interested in. If they had a skill, they would shadow or work with one of my team and get paid. When the cadre rotated out that disaster victim would take over and we would find another shadow. Mind you - no expenses, just money in their pockets to rebuild a nest egg to go home with after the disaster or move elsewhere to start over (and a job/employer). 

If they didn't have a skill, but an interest in a certain area, we had trainers who get them certified on site (food services, laundry, forklift, logistics, supply, etc..) or we would send them back to our training facility for those longer required courses (i.e., truck driver, Electrical or HVAC apprentice, etc.) - we now had a greater base of cadre for future disasters - or events (we did large-scale, like Superbowl, LPGA, Burning Man, etc.)  

In the end; we gave those impacted by disaster a hand up, a job, which builds confidence, self esteem, pulls people out of despair.

OR, You could see how it's going overseas and review their model.
