Abolish All Welfare Now

    In the last couple of weeks, I have been focusing my blogging on finding ways for the tens of thousands of Afghan immigrants to find work so they can have the money to fund their lives in a new country with self-sufficiency.  Tonight, I have come across a news story that reveals that the Biden Administration is setting up a welfare system to cater to these new arrivals that will give them taxpayer funded: food, housing, health care, and cash.  I guess Democrats get so used to handing out our hard-earned dollars, that when an emergency immigration situation emerges, welfare is their knee-jerk reaction.

The solution to all this is to make the Socialists pay.  Welfare must be immediately cut off from all immigrants.  But, let us not stop there.  All welfare in America must be abolished, as well.

If immigrants are given an easy alternative to working for a living, many will slack off and be lured into the welfare rut.  There are currently millions and millions of advertised jobs in America.  Businesses are dying to hire people.  Get rid of the welfare vices, and let people work!

No New Afghan Unknowns

    As someone who is attempting to undertake what amounts to a massive industrial engineering problem with the tens of thousands of Afghan refugees and their labor, the dissenting voices against some of my aspirations have finally hit home.

At first the Biden Administration went all in by advocating doubling or tripling the number of random Afghan immigrants that will be flown to America.  Some Congressmen pegged my efforts as a pathway for unlimited Green Cards.  These policy changes and objections raised have not landed on deaf ears.  It is hard enough to succeed in finding a route to self-sufficiency by matching the current Afghan-Americans with available work.  And then there are all the national security concerns.

All this has conclusively led me to embrace the policy I call: "No New Afghan Unknowns".  If dual-citizen Afghans, Green Card holders, or SIVs and their families want to apply to travel to America, they should definitely be given full consideration.  But every shoving and pushing new Afghan unknown?  No way.  Enough is enough.

The Value of Afghan Language Skills

    Those of us who support letting most of the newly arrived Afghans stay, so long as they economically support themselves, may be skeptical that the immigrants can earn enough to get by.  Aside from low wage factory or food harvesting work, there may be a difficulty involved in meeting America's self-sufficiency requirement.  However, I have identified a market that few have even touched on.  I call this market: "reverse linguist skills".

When America went into Afghanistan, militarily, there was a desperate scramble to find linguists and translators.  In most cases, America had to find native Afghans to educate with the English language.  Being Afghans in their foundation, loyalty was always a concern and had to be repeatedly assessed.

So now, America has these tens of thousands of Afghans who, among which, speak perhaps every variant of represented languages in their native country.  They are expected to support themselves and mostly have few job skills.  Why not approach them with what could be their most lucrative market--Afghan language education.

There is no denying that there is a big market for the languages of Afghanistan.  Unless he changes his mind, Trump has said we will probably be going back into Afghanistan at some point.  If a future U.S. government official is in school, it may be more valuable to learn an Afghan language than some less valuable one, such as Latin.

As I mentioned above, linguist loyalty has been an issue.  However, these high school and college students who are adding the Afghan languages to their skill set are first and foremost Americans.

Recognize Immigrant Freedom to Produce and Trade

    Whether one agrees with unfettered, illegal immigration, or not, it does not change the fact that there are perhaps tens of millions of illegal immigrants currently in this country.  The Democrats don't seem to be doing much about it.  But what is being done is massive spending of American, taxpayer money that is being put into the hands of many immigrants.

What I am advocating in this blog is the recognized political Individual Rights of all immigrants in America (both legal and illegal) to Produce and Trade.  The vast majority of the illegal ones will never be deported anyway.  And, it would do a lot more good if they had the opportunity to support themselves, instead of being stuck on welfare at our expense.

What to do About the Afghan Refugees

    There is a new crisis that is an offshoot of Biden's bungling of the Afghanistan pullout.  What should be done about the 50K+ refugees from Afghanistan (many of which had no ties to the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program)?  I have given the problem a lot of thought; and I believe that the following procedure should be the process undertaken:

The first step should be to correctly identify which refugees have been issued a SIV.  These individuals should be given an American Work Visa (AWV) which is a card that grants the recipient the politically recognized right to contractually work for any pay according to terms that are completely, freely negotiated with each employer and the AWV holder.  Once the SIV distinguished individual receives this recognition, that person should be released from the processing area to freely travel anywhere one wants in the country.

The next step is to vet the remaining refugees.  Those who fail to pass America's standards are either sent to a different country or restricted in some capacity in ours.  The vast majority of the refugees will pass the vetting process.  When one of these individuals is cleared, an American Work Visa (AWV) is issued that grants the same freedom as the SIV predecessors.

The question could be raised by Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders: Why did I bother to achieve the SIV status?  Joe Biden made it very difficult to find room for you to get out of Afghanistan.  After he initially removed most of our military, prematurely, there were desperate restrictions in trying to evacuate from the Kabul airport.  America had to put Americans as the priority.  All I can really say is that some of you SIV holders may have gotten out because of your American aid, whereas without it, you never would have succeeded.  It is indeed terrible what has happened to those left behind because of one man's spite for President Trump's benevolent plan.
