You need to move towards globalization. Secure but open borders and free passes to anyone that wants to be a U.S. citizen. Blanket amnesty with steep fines for non-compliance. Compliance would require a free registration and application to pay taxes. Abolish the minimum wage and corporate taxes. Any company that seems to have the "newest" idea you subsidize. The best ideas win. You have to understand what you're up against with Asia and if you aren't willing to go their way you must make them come yours which is much harder. It will be painful but you'll also be able to get your works programs and infrastructure building. Stop it with the tax cuts to the lower class because they're sending it overseas as fast as they can. You need to not only grow your tax base but grow the voter base too. All this needs to occur WITH a massive campaign that makes the American people learn that they can no longer consume 29% of the worlds goods. That they're only 5% of the world's population and that if they're ever going to get out of the mess they've gotten themselves into they need to grow their tax/voter base. And you can do it all with a big smile as you watch people flock to the U.S. and you will see your UE rate drop like a rock. Then negotiate human rights and trade agreements with Asia. Good luck.
You have to start to espouse rhetoric about the pressures of globalization, the way to relieve those pressures, the path forward to paying off our debt and a way for much freer trade.
I fear that if we continue on the path we are on now, just like in history when pressures build up, we will be in a severe crisis if this doesn't have the free world's leader take a hold of this nonsense with a firm grip, unrelenting, but with a firm reliance on the fact that this is the natural course of things.

I say bring our jobs back to America. Have corporations invest in Mexico so they stop coming here for jobs and guaranteed healthcare because their babies are born here. Make it a national vote so special interests cannot influence politicians.
