Send Them Back to Europe

I propose a new bill to solve the immigration problem-- it is called the
"Send Them Back to Europe" Bill.

The way it works is like this. Anybody from the Americas who wants to immigrate to the United States gets to choose a person from a list of anti-immigration Americans of European ancestry. For example, 'Sean Hannity'. So a child refugee from Guatemala can pick Sean Hannity, (whose ancestors came as uninvited guests and then never left), and Sean Hannity would be deported to Ireland and the Guatemalan kid would get to live in the USA. If the Irish refuse to accept Sean Hannity, that would be no problem because a flotilla of donated boats would be ready to take such undesirables. These 'boat people' would undoubtedly find a home somewhere. If they don't, tough shit.

In the case of anti-immigration people with mixed ancestry, they would get to choose the country they wish to be deported to. Ted Cruz, for example, could choose between Cuba, Ireland, or Italy. What a wonderful variety of options!

Anti-immigration people of European ancestry who do not like the idea of being deported would have the option of doing community service to avoid deportation. For example, they could join a welcoming committee at the border, to welcome incoming immigrants. Or they could give tours of remaining segments of the wall, left standing as a reminder of a barbaric age. Or they could host a family of immigrants for a couple of years.
