Browsing social media, it’s apparent that people are quick to point out problems in the world, but what I see less often are suggestions for how to solve them. At best, I see vague ideas that might solve one issue but introduce new ones, which are rarely addressed.

Simply stopping the bad behaviour rarely is a solution in itself. The world is not that simple. Take something like drug addiction. Telling someone to just stop taking drugs is not a solution.

    Oh boy, I’m going to downvoted into oblivion for what I’m about to write. Here we go.

    It will be about unchecked illegal immigration, so hang tight. First of all, everyone that’s trying to illegally cross borders should be sent back to the country of origin. Next, all permanent resident/citizen immigrants that break a law should be returned to a country of origin. On top of that all crimes should be treated equally, no matter who committed it.

    edit

    Forgot to add to the list. All illegal immigration advocates should be legally forced to host at least one immigrant in their house/apartment.

      I’ve solved it already! There’s no illegal immigration based on international law, there’s irregular immigrants.

      Sending people back would cost more than welcoming them and having them pay taxes.

      People can already get deported for breaking the law but it would be stupid to make it systematic no matter the law considering that locals break laws all the time and just end up having to pay a fine

        What I meant was that the “minority” offenders that cannot be sent back should be charged the same way as the “majority” of the population. Sorry for the confusion.

            I can see it now. Sorry about being ambiguous. What I mean is that the first generation immigrants who were granted permanent residency or citizenship should be treated the same way as multiple generation citizens, including crime punishment.

              Are they not, in your country?

              As in “treat them better” or as in “I’ve been led to believe they’re treated better and that multiple generation citizens are treated worse”? Because seeing your comments so far I’m pretty sure you’re thinking the latter.

              I’m still confused… So do you want them sent back to country of origin or not? Because that’s by definition a different treatment from 2nd generation or later citizens. Or do you want to deport 2nd generation citizens somewhere too?
