by Just have a 40 year moratorium on *all* Third World mass immigration of people who want to permanently live in the US. It’s that simple.Of course, you don’t need to ban vetted students or tourists, or people who might be temporarily employed for some job that can’t be done by a US citizen. Nor do you need to ban immigration invoking cultural exchanges, scientific research, or limited and reasonable asylum for people who are culturally compatible and genuinely fleeing persecution, especially if the asylum is only temporary.But a straightforward ban on all Third World mass immigration would end the hysteria about singling out one religion and would, quite probably, turn out to be popular too. America had such a moratorium on mass immigration from 1924 to 1965. A moratorium means more jobs for American citizens, tight labour markets, and rising real wages. Working and middle class people will love that.
