The Way Forward, Gerry Maxey's Plan to Legalize DREAMERS

The Roman Republic fought a war over Citizenship, the Social War. The war ended in a Roman victory and the genocide of Samnites, an Italian tribe, which wanted full Roman citizenship.

The Citizenship War was debilitating to the Republic, causing the rise of military strongmen like Sulla, Marius and eventually Julius Caesar.The vaunted Roman Republic, which had survived hundreds of years, began to die, over a war about who should be a citizen of Rome.

Citizenship is very important to Republics. A Monarch can claim subjects by birth, decree or conquest. To be a citizen of a Republic, this American Republic, one has to be either born lucky or meet the criteria of the citizens who came before you.

Because American Citizenship is so valuable, such a cohesive force in the existence of the Republic, it cannot and should not be enterprised upon.

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is the executive order by President Obama which allowed some individuals who were brought to America illegally as children, to be deferred from deportation, allowed a work permit, and allowed a drivers license.

DACA recipients are called DREAMERS. There are 800,000 of them.

The DACA recipients are innocent of wrong doing; they were smuggled into the Republic by parents enterprising upon American resources in the hope of gaining amnesty for their wrong doing, and citizenship for their offspring.

Vestigial humanity tells Americans it is wrong to punish DREAMERS because they are innocent of any original wrong doing; however vestigial obedience to the rule of civilized law tells Americans that the parents of DACA Recipients should and must be punished for they originated the wrong doing by  entering the Republic  illegally, in an effort to scam the Republic out of resources, including education and medical care, for their children. The parents of DACA Recipients stole resources meant for American kids, for their own progeny.

If the DREAMERS are innocent, then surely their claim jumping parents are Bernie Madoffs, scamming all of America for the benefit of their children’s lifestyles.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

This Blogger’s solution to the DREAMERS conundrum is neither Draconian nor Solomonic; it comes from American Blood memory, the Miners Court of the Old West- free the innocent, punish the guilty.

All DACA recipients will be allowed to apply for American Citizenship, and will obtain citizenship status after 10 (TEN) years of crime free residency in the Republic. That way the innocent are protected.

However, no DREAMER can apply for this Ten Year Citizenship Process unless their parents (both parents or one, widow or widower or divorcee) and/or their guardians who brought them to America, self deport.  No DREAMER  can become a citizen unless their  parents or guardians self deport; those guilty of  claim jumping American resources must be punished. It is the law of a  Republican society intent on surviving, unlike the Roman Republic.

This Blogger has met with many DREAMERS' parents; in unison they all stated that their law breaking and claim jumping was done for the sake of their children.

This Blogger’s proposal allows those parents the opportunity to prove it. If they want Citizenship for their kids, go home.

And there is one more caveat, the  self deported parents and/or guardian must sign a waiver that they will NEVER apply for American citizenship, nor accept an amnesty relating to American Citizenship.

This Blogger’s Proposal will inform History which DREAMERS' parents so loved their children they were prepared to leave them. Perhaps it is a Solomonic solution.

What modern American Liberals have been deficient at is an appreciation that there is a spiritual component in Governance, even secular Governance. There must be a karmic balance between mercy and obligation. There are many native born families who have had family members or friends or lovers who have fought in the Republic's wars since 1917, in the Argonne, on Anzio, at Tarawa, at Inchon, and Hue, in Fallujah and in Helmand. Outright amnesty to DREAMERS, which rewards their parents' scam,  makes their families' sacrifice a travesty. This Proposal melds mercy and obligation together.

This Blogger's Proposal gives DREAMERS a future in America, with American citizenship; the price is their parents’ futures. That is a a fair trade, an American Blood Memory Trade.
