America Should Exchange its "Progressives" for Mexican Immigrants

My argument is that America should exchange "progressives" or "liberals" for Mexicans. This would resolve the immigration debate plus make America a more successful country.

I have previously blogged that "liberals" or "progressives" are disloyal to the United States and that their heated opposition to the War in Iraq coupled with their confused arguments are evidence. The reason is that in order to take a position opposed to the war, the left needs to show that an alternative strategy (no response to terrorism; an alternative kind of military response to terrorism) would be more effective in furthering the security and progress of the United States. Such an argument is conceivable but the left has not articulated one.

At the same time that "liberals" hate the United States, some Mexicans have been eager to come. Many conservatives have argued for limitations on immigration. But I think that even the most anti-immigration conservative would agree that if we could exchange Mexicans for "liberals" the nation would be better off. Therefore, I propose an exchange program.

Universities should be asked to move to Mexico. This could be done by making continued tax exemption contingent on relocation to Mexico. In addition, educators, trial attorneys, newspapers and television stations should be encouraged to move to Mexico, again, using tax incentives. In addition, New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco could be asked to secede and to merge with Mexico City. Much as Alaska is separated from mainland America, so can New York, LA and San Francisco be separated from a nation in which their "progressive" residents can believe. This would also have the side benefit of sending Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel to the Mexican Congress.

In exchange for Mexican citizenship, the people of New York City, etc., and the relocated university professors, television personalities and Hollywood producers, could be replaced by equal numbers of Mexicans. In addition, all other "progressives" should be given the chance for a tax exemption if they choose to relocate to Mexico. That way, even more Mexicans can replace them. If done properly, perhaps millions of "progressives" can be relocated to Mexico, and millions of eager Mexicans can be relocated here. The George Washington Bridge would become a border crossing. Border guards on the outbound side would be careful not to allow "illegals" out of New York City.

American "progressive" traitors would be replaced by Mexican immigrants. The immigrants would be required to go to American schools, which, since the "progressive" educators will have emigrated, would teach principles on which America is based. These include freedom, tolerance, and respect for those with whom we disagree. The schools would encourage loyalty. Most importantly schools would teach reading, writing and arithmetic properly for the first time in a century. Once the "progressives" go, our math and reading scores will shoot up because incompetent education will go with them.

The result would be a large number of Americans of Mexican extraction who have replaced traitorous "liberals". Freed of "progressives", the American economy would explode. We would become fabulously wealthy. It would be like the late 19th century. New ideas would transform the world.

At the same time, with even more left wing kooks than it has now, Mexico would deteriorate rapidly. In a few generations the descendents of the new Mexican "progressives" would begin to try to return here. But the future Americans, including those descended from Mexican immigrants, would not let them. They are not fools. The "progressives" would be required to remain in Mexico. Their descendents would have the chance to eat what their "progressive" ancestors served.
