Global prosperity requires a new narrative on immigration and cross border migration. If we allow the poor to escape to the rich and then redistribute our wealth to take care of the needy new arrivals, we will only impoverish ourselves in the process. Global prosperity must increase if we are to address
this issue seriously. This is especially true for the economies of Mexico, Central and South America. We must immediately launch a Marshall Plan, a micro-finance plan, and a private-public partnership plan so that jobs are created south of the U.S. border and immigrants (illegal and legal) who are living in the U.S. have the option to return to their homelands and re-build new lives for themselves. Perhaps then our nation will not be overwhelmed by those seeking that which exists in such abundance here in America.
