Party Over

I get what you are saying but some people sometime confuse not getting their way as the country not working for them.

It is a sign the democracy is working if you aren't always getting your way.

Oligarchy is a result of entrenched values even within ordinary citizens.

I'm a Competionist, and here are my ideas:

Crack down on collusion and make it less worthwhile, reform company and patent law. Remove existing protectionism for cooperation, and corn laws the inhibit trade. Remove artificial barriers to entry, etc. Then create incentives so ordinary investor and saver can insulate themselves through a more diverse economy, and options within companies. Only then consider proactive interventions to increase competition, but never selectively or retroactively like the silly anti-trust legislation.

Capitalism is not an economic model, it is only a component of one. People should remember that. It is necessary but no guarantee of competition.

The joke is Mussolini would have never dreamed of achieving what we have now, the relationship between corporations and governments we have today. This is his model of fascism realised.

The best thing the stop migration from Mexico, is any policy improve the economy of Mexico.

They can start by stopping the ridiculous war on drugs, then do something about the huge demand in the US. Supply and treat them.

Then incentive anti-corruption measures, whilst encouraging investment in Mexico.

A wall isn't going to do jack. You can go round the wall currently, but they aren't bothering they just go through or over or under it. It simply cannot be policed, the border is too long.

Mexico could be dealt with very easily

all we need to do is a)tighten up work programs specifically H-2 Visas but others as well that have been taken advantage of by American business to deprive Americans of jobs. b)Put a tariff on Mexico to cover the cost their citizens rack up in this country, maybe a tax on remittance payments to Mexico too. They'll get control of the border and build the wall in under a year if we did that, we need to stop letting them take advantage of us by emptying their slums into our country. c)end jus soli birthright citizenship, only those with a parent that is an American citizen becomes natural-born citizen. d)completely end the war on drugs, legalize everything to eliminate the black market e)once the border is secure then make it a crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison for illegally entering the United States on a 2nd offense. f)put a much larger contingent of our military along our southern border, these guys should be defending our border not the one between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Mexico has to coerced into cooperating, without Mexico's cooperation there is no hope of every controlling our southern border. We need them as well as the central American countries to aid in repatriating their citizens that come to our country, I've talked about my idea of paying money per-head to illegals to voluntarily leave the country with a cash payment and I think it could nice way of indirect aid to these countries which their corrupt governments could not mishandle. Average cost of a deportation is 12k per, so how about 6k cash and plane ticket? Saves a lot of time, money, and trauma. That's like a year's pay there, give it installments and have especially harsh penalties for anybody that returns illegally.
