Let's Deport the Billionaires and House the Illegal Immigrants In the Billionaires' Mansions and Yachts and Use their Money to Build ALL the Homes and Schools and Hospitals, etc. We Need and Deserve

And let's abolish the U.S. foreign policies that FORCED the illegal immigrants to leave home and come here

The billionaires are now ramping up their giant divide-and-rule strategy aimed at fomenting a (nonviolent? violent?) war¹ between, on the one hand, American have-nots who suffer—and know they suffer²—from the massive influx of illegal immigrants, against, on the other hand, the American have-nots who don’t know about the suffering caused by this massive illegal immigration and who don’t want to do anything to stop it.

The billionaires, using their “conservative” wing, tell the first group of have-nots, “We’ve got to deport the illegal immigrants.” And, using their “liberal” wing, they tell the second group of have-nots, “Those who want to deport the illegal immigrants are a bunch of deplorable racists—”garbage” in the words of Joe Biden—and must be fought tooth and nail.

Instead of a war of have-nots against have-nots, which is what the billionaires are trying to foment, we need to wage the CLASS WAR!

Deport the billionaires (minus their money)! Watch here how Mexicans did this in one town.

House the illegal immigrants—the vast majority who are not criminals³ and who just want to make a better life somewhere safe—in the mansions and yachts of the billionaires and use the billionaires’ (stolen) money to build the homes and schools and hospitals and recreation centers and sports facilities and libraries and everything else that the have-nots—whatever our citizenship status— ought to have and enjoy.

Employ millions of people—whatever their citizenship status—to build the things and provide the services that the have-nots need and want, and pay people according to the egalitarian principle that have-nots agree is morally just: “From each according to reasonable ability⁴, to each according to need or reasonable desire with scarce things equitably rationed according to need.” No rich and no poor!

Abolish the U.S. foreign policies that, for decades, have FORCED the illegal immigrants to leave home and enter the U.S.—just to survive—in the first place.⁵

In waging this CLASS WAR, guess who will be the biggest allies of American have-not citizens? The illegal immigrants! That’s who.

And when we WIN this class war, guess what will happen to illegal immigration? It will end. It will end because there will no longer be lots of people south of our border who are being forced to illegally immigrate to the U.S. just in order to survive.

Read here how YOU can help build the egalitarian revolutionary movement to remove the rich from power.

1. The “blue state” governors of Massachusetts and Illinois and California are already making war-like pronouncements;

2. Massive illegal immigration makes it possible for Big $ to use the immigrants as super cheap labor, especially in agriculture and construction jobs, because these immigrant workers cannot easily form unions and go on strike to get better wages and working conditions for fear of deportation. THIS is why the jobs they work are so shitty and why, as liberals love to say without explaining the reason for it, “Americans don’t want to work in those jobs.”

Massive illegal immigration also means many new residents in towns and cities competing for already scarce housing and schools and hospitals and other services that are scarce due to the fact that the billionaires hoard society’s wealth for their own luxurious use and for a huge military and weapons industry that is all about protecting their unjust wealth and power and privilege.

3. The Myth That Hispanic Immigrants Are Criminals

​One way Big Money tries to direct people's anger at illegal immigrants instead of at itself is by promoting the myth that Hispanic immigrants and their children have particularly high crime rates. President Trump does this by creating a public list of crimes committed by illegal immigrants but not a list for crimes committed by “legals.” Countless right wing talk radio hosts similarly report crimes by illegal immigrants in a way designed to make it seem that hardly anybody else commits a crime. What’s the truth?

​As one can read in great detail in a careful study by the Marshall Project, based on FBI crime data in population data for metropolitan areas, there is no connection between illegal (undocumented) immigration and crime; if anything, the trend is that illegal (undocumented) immigrants commit less crime than American citizens.

​Statistics are available for incarceration rates for the following ten groups**:​

1. All U.S. born: 3.51%

2. Non-Hispanic whites U.S. born: 1.71%

3. Non-Hispanic blacks U.S. born: 11.61%

4. Hispanics U.S. born: 2.3% to 5.9% based on country or ethnic origin

5. Asians U.S. born: 1% to 7.2%

6. All foreign born: 0.86%

7. Non-Hispanic whites foreign born: 0.57%

8. Non-Hispanic blacks foreign born: 2.47%

9. Hispanics foreign born: 0.2% to 2.2% based on country or ethnic origin

10. Asians foreign born: 0.1% to 0.9%

Unfortunately, these groups do not separate the foreign into legal and illegal immigrants. But most of the illegal immigrants are in the 9th group: Hispanics foreign born.​

Note that the group with most of the illegal immigrants, group 9: Hispanics foreign born, has a substantially lower incarceration rate than group 1: All U.S. born. To the extent that these data provide any evidence about whether illegal immigrants are more or less criminal than American born people, they suggest that illegal immigrants are less criminal.​

Some might argue that the comparison should be a different one. They would say we should compare group 4: Hispanics U.S. born, to group 2: Non-Hispanic whites U.S. born. The rationale for this would be a) it’s the second and third generations of the illegal immigrants who are the criminals and b) ignore group 3: Non-Hispanic blacks U.S. born because, well, it makes the anti-illegal immigrant argument too weak if we don’t.

OK. If we do as these folks suggest, we see that group 4 (the 2nd and 3rd generation Hispanics born in the U.S.) have a higher incarceration rate than group 2 (Non-Hispanic whites born in the U.S.); it’s “2.3% to 5.9%” versus 1.71%. This comparison (of dubious merit in the first place) makes the illegal immigrants’ U.S. born children appear to be more criminal than whites born in the U.S.​

But there is an important fact to take into consideration in interpreting this comparison, and it is demonstrated by, of all sources, The American Conservative magazine in an online article. This conservative article points out that the age distribution of Hispanics is much different from that of whites: the median age of Hispanics is around 27 “near the absolute peak of the prime-crime age range. But the median white age is over 40, putting nearly half the white population above the likely age range for committing crimes. While it is certainly true that Hispanic 23-year-olds have much greater criminal tendencies than white 45-year-olds, a more useful question is the relative criminality of Hispanics and whites of the same age.” This article then proceeds to do a long age-adjusted analysis and concludes with these words:​

Conservatives have traditionally prided themselves on being realists, dealing with the world as it is rather than attempting to force it to conform to a pre-existing ideological framework. But just as many on the Right succumbed to a fantastical foreign policy that makes the world much more dangerous than it needs to be, some have also accepted the myth that Hispanic immigrants and their children have high crime rates. Such an argument may have considerable emotional appeal, but there is very little hard evidence behind it.

A December 20, 2020 article in the prestigious PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) peer reviewed journal reported:​

"we find that undocumented immigrants have considerably lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of criminal offenses, including violent, property, drug, and traffic crimes. We also report no evidence that undocumented criminality has become more prevalent in recent years across any crime category."

When it comes to anti-illegal immigrant propaganda, however, hard data is not what most Americans hear about. What most Americans hear is like what this author heard while listening to his local right-wing talk radio show. The show’s host reported that, while driving on a major artery, a car cut him off to get to an exit. Now it turns out that one can take this exit to get to many different towns. But the talk show host ignored that little detail and said that since that exit could be used to get to a town whose residents included some illegal immigrants, that therefore he was sure the driver of the car that cut him off was an illegal immigrant, and it just goes to show how awful those illegal immigrants are, “Doncha know?” This talk-show host is paid to implement divide-and-rule, and he clearly works very hard at it.​

Anti-illegal-immigrant views based on the myth of their criminality are completely illogical. Here's another typical example.​

Meredith Warren's opinion article July 31, 2015, "‘Sanctuary cities’ defy immigration law," uses specious logic. Warren cites the murder of Kate Steinle by, allegedly, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez in San Francisco to conclude that illegal immigrant Mexicans should be aggressively found and deported and local police should fully cooperate with federal authorities in this endeavor. Warren's "logic" goes like this: Lopez-Sanchez was an illegal Mexican immigrant. He allegedly murdered a woman. Therefore all illegal Mexican immigrants should be deported (as the federal law calls for) and the local police should help do that, or else more innocent people will be murdered by illegal Mexican immigrants.

By this same so-called "logic" one could reason as follows: Lopez-Sanchez had black hair. He allegedly murdered a woman. Therefore all people with black hair should be treated as dangerous likely murderers and in some fashion be preemptively prevented from murdering people, or else more innocent people will be murdered by black-haired people. The falseness of this is obvious because we know that black-haired people are no more likely to be murderers than non-black-haired people. The falseness of Warren's "logic," however, is only obvious if one similarly knows that, in fact, (as reported by the American Immigration Council here):​

Crime Rates Have Declined as Immigration Has Increased 

• Even as the undocumented population has doubled to 12 million since 1994, the violent crime rate in the United States has declined 34.2 percent and the property crime rate has fallen 26.4 percent.

• Cities with large immigrant populations such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami also have experienced declining crime rates during this period.

Immigrants Have Lower Incarceration Rates than Natives

• Among men age 18-39 (who comprise the vast majority of the prison population), the 3.5 percent incarceration rate of the native-born in 2000 was 5 times higher than the 0.7 percent incarceration rate of the foreign-born.

• The foreign-born incarceration rate in 2000 was nearly two-and-a-half times less than the 1.7 percent rate for native-born non-Hispanic white men and almost 17 times less than the 11.6 percent rate for native-born black men.

• Native-born Hispanic men were nearly 7 times more likely to be in prison than foreign-born Hispanic men in 2000, while the incarceration rate of native-born non-Hispanic white men was almost 3 times higher than that of foreign-born white men.

• Foreign-born Mexicans had an incarceration rate of only 0.7 percent in 2000—more than 8 times lower than the 5.9 percent rate of native-born males of Mexican descent. Foreign-born Salvadoran and Guatemalan men had an incarceration rate of 0.5 percent, compared to 3.0 percent of native-born males of Salvadoran and Guatemalan descent.

​The logically relevant fact about Lopez-Sanchez is not that he was an illegal Mexican immigrant, but rather that he had seven prior felony convictions. If Warren had argued that local police should help federal authorities aggressively incarcerate seven-time felony convicts so that they don't murder people, that would have been logical. But instead Warren used specious "logic" to turn her readers against a category of people who suffer not only poverty due to unjust class inequality but also slander by billionaires such as Donald Trump. It's time to stop thinking of illegal immigrants as criminals.​

As for the small number of real criminals among the illegal immigrants, they should be treated the same way we treat criminals who are citizens: arrest them and prosecute them for their crimes. If our rulers were truly concerned for public safety and if there were not enough police to keep us safe from illegal immigrant criminals (two big 'if's) then they (our rulers) could bring home all the U.S. military forces that are now in foreign countries killing innocent people or doing nothing useful (as in Germany and South Korea) and let them deal with the supposedly huge numbers of criminals caused by illegal immigration. But this is the LAST thing our rulers are interested in doing.

4. Most people, whether they’ve ever heard the word or not, are egalitarians. Egalitarians, being reasonable people, will no doubt count children and retired elderly and people physically or mentally or for any other reason unable to work as "working reasonably"  even though they do no work, and likewise deem it "reasonable work" when people care for their own or other children or for other sick adults or attend school or apprentice programs to learn skills so as to be able to work in the future. Also, being reasonable people, egalitarians will no doubt take into account, when deciding how much work is reasonable, how onerous or unpleasant or dangerous some kinds of work are compared to other kinds.

5. Read about how the U.S. billionaire ruling class—both major parties—for decades has been doing terrible things to the people south of our border to force them to have to illegally immigrate to the U.S. just in order to survive. Here are two of my articles about this:

“Illegal Immigration to the U.S.: Myth vs. Reality”

“Kamala Sheds Crocodile Tears for Haitian Immigrants Whom Trump Demonizes, But Her Democratic Party Has Attacked Haitians No Less Than the GOP In Haiti: The Democrats attack the Haitians in Haiti, forcing them to flee to the U.S., where the GOP demonizes them in the U.S. as pet-eaters.”
