Immigration problem...not Donald Thump's way of tackling it

Donald Thump hasn't put in enough thought into the immigration issue....he is treating it like a corporate issue. There is difference in treating human aspects and business aspects.
First and foremost, immigration that is not needed does strain the economy, considering the benefits. So there, I am on the same page as the democrats and republicans.
I also feel it is unfair to use the contribution of one person for the benefit of another who has not contributed. You see, most people, their spouses, their children, their grandparents, and great grandparents, worked for the country. If they paid direct taxes, their contribution was higher. If they paid indirect taxes (taxes on gas, toothpaste, soaps, food, etc. ), then their contribution was lower. Nevertheless, they all paid taxes to the nation's kitty, which was then planned for distribution to them and their future generations.
A new entrant getting all those benefits, without having contributed as much, should feel he or she is not being fair.
So how do we go about stopping or reducing immigration?
1. Transfer some jobs to the nations that seem to be sending most of the immigrants;
For example, old age homes....yes have administrators from the US but get desirable standards and transfer such assignments. In such cases, do not conform to minimum pay scale of the US, where the cost of living is much higher. Instead, determine the cost of living, and then fix the salaries of local staff, be it Mexican or Indian or Chinese. This will ensure that costs on healthcare systems come down. Ensuring that the facility has an ambience similar to the US will make it easier for the old people to adjust.
2. Upgrade education institutions in such countries so that scrutiny of immigrants becomes easier.
3. Unskilled immigrants would be welcome too...PROVIDED they accept to survive on the minimum wages in their own countries for 25 years, and cannot start any business for that many years, nor can they earn more than minimum wages in any job for the next 25 year (if 25 years working life is not there, then the deficit of time passes on to the next generation). This clause applies to each person - husband and wife. They will not be eligible to any benefits exceeding the benefits back home for that many years. And finally, they have to put in at least 10 years in armed forces. Now, the ball is in the court of immigrants...what do they want? Are they agreeable to such harsh terms for that many years?

Birther thing as you put it, definitely injustice there, because I said, there is contribution to the nation's kitty either through direct taxes, or through indirect taxes, either by the person or his or her parents, grandparents, and beyond. So that one is rather unfair and stupid I feel.

You seem to forget that the Putz is a liar and a cheat. He doesn't care about anything but those with the most $$. Also, he thinks he can change the constitution but he can't. I'd find a comfy seat and see what justice does to this little man that thinks he's so great.
