Started but stopped
I perused the Red Card section very briefly then decided to postpone it for some other time. But I picked up enough, however, to surmise that notwithstanding the good intentions of the group, the Red Card solution is just another naive, insular and unworkable idea.
The border crashes can be separated into two general basic groups with sub groups. #1. Criminals. #2. Non-criminal campesino/peasants that want to come to work. From there the sub-categories are Mexicans then Central Americans and then South Americans and finally in a broad generalization the rest of the world.
Some 30% or more can be categorized as hard criminals of terrorists. These include drug traffickers, human smugglers, and on to murders, pedophiles, rapists, and continuing.
Nationalities are 60% or more Mexican, then Central America, Guatemala, El Salvador and on down to Brazil, and some other countries. Counting 31 or 32 Latin countries, illegal immigrants do not come from most countries in any numbers.
The gangs such as MS13, Cartels and terrorists certainly do not want to be recorded. Nor will many campesinos/peasants.
We already have a system in place for foreigners who want to come here as tourists, students or workers. It's called a PASSPORT. Here's how it works. The foreigner goes to the American Consulate and applies for a visa. Then he undergoes a health check and has the International required shots/inoculations.
For a person who wants to immigrate the requirement is:
1. Passport
2. Background check
3. Visa
4. Domicile/ address
5. Health card
6. Sponsor
7. A job
8. Adequate funds
Most of the border jumpers do not want to comply with requirements. Most are so fundamentally crooked and dishonest that they cannot be believed. The Red Cards will be counterfeited. Most employers do not want to go through the red tape. It's too cumbersome, bothersome and confining.
Red Card is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It's trying to reinvent the wheel. When the maximum allocated Red Cards are issued, those who didn't get one will just keep on coming.
