We could start with the richest 1000 families. They haven't done anything useful for generations.

Mexico and Haiti certainly won't take them, in fact Mexico continues to send us it's impoverished unemployed classes of people.

It's a good plan though, Mexico's economy is really taking off with it's welfare class living in the USA.

Well, as long as we're supposing...

Suppose we pass such a law, and the government jumps in to enforce it to the letter. Then a snag develops: Mexico, Haiti, or wherever we decide to dump our deadbeats, decides that it doesn't want them. Refuses to let them in. What happens then?

(Of course, it didn't work that way when Fidel Castro came up with the idea of letting the worst elements of his country flee to the United States unmolested. We took them in without a second thought. But you have to plan for the eventuality that not every nation behaves the way we do. Or at least pretend to recognize other nations' sovereignty, and not just view them as a dumping ground for whatever it is you want to get rid of).

Why don't you folks build some large ovens and trick them into coming in for a shower. Then gas them and burn their bodies. No one will ever know.

The unproductive should read the job ads in newspapers. Currently, America has a shortage of workers to fill all the available positions. Employers are crying for workers and entice with great wages and benefits. So, there is no excuse for not having a job.

You do realize, aside from the ultra rich who vote Republican to get even more rich, that democrats probably make up more of the successful people in this country? Atheists, liberals, gays, etc. usually vote Democratic, and they are statistically more successful then their conservative, straight counterparts.

You seem to have forgotten to mention that the majority of these vacant jobs require some very specific skill sets that not just anyone off the street typically has. Skills like welding, metalworking, operating heavy equipment, chemists, software engineers, etc. You paint the picture here that any Tom, Dick, and Harry out of work need only pick up a job ad, apply, and start work next week. Most of these jobs require specialized skills that most people don't have. If they did, the jobs would not be vacant. Why would I, as the hypothetical employer, hire someone who is not qualified to do the job I am trying to fill??

And why we’re at we also need to deport all greedy people, sinners, anybody that doesn’t speak English and everyone different. But oh wait! There is a constitution that prevents the rise of another Nazi Germany.
