Why establish a Blue Card?
Economic Stability Problems
We have two key problems concerning the economic stability of the United States.
First is the predicted financial collapse of the Social Security
system. There are too few workers contributing, and too many seniors
drawing down their retirement funds. With the declining birth rate,
now at 1.6 per couple, there is little long-term hope of having enough
young people making significant contributions to the system.
The short term is even worse.

The second significant problem is the huge number of
undocumented aliens (aka ‘illegals’) now residing in our country.
They now number 9% of the population. We think.
Reasonable estimates are 20,000,000
before the Biden administration.
During his four-year term, 12,000,000 are added.
To say that we do not know who millions of them are is an understatement.
The Trump administration pledges that they will all leave.
Immediately the ‘worst of the worst’ are singled out and
250,000 of them have been removed.
Just over 1,000,000 self-deported.
There is a long way to go to get to zero illegals in the USA.
Unprecedented support for their removal, include
Republicans approving at a 93% rate,
Unaffiliated voters at 70% and Democrats at 59%.
Rarely are polls this one-sided when the country is
not at war.
Lack of workers to support Social Security and the number of illegals to be deported
seem mathematically insurmountable by themselves.
Economic Stability Solutions
But what if the solution to both is intertwined in a symbiotic plan?
What is accomplished by playing one problem off the other?
First, meet the President’s pledge to remove illegals by enticing them to self-
deport. This is the first issue and a huge one.
Second, gain enough workers to fund the Social Security shortfall
by bringing them back. import them. Many potential workers are
already here as undocumented aliens so using them might be an option.
A tertiary problem is that when Covid-19 hit, the unemployment
rate spiked to a Great Depression level of 14.9%. Revenues to Social
Security collapsed proportionately and huge deficits kicked in for five
years. Is it possible to address that as well?
One must understand that to get this giant rabbit to come out of a
hat requires a few compromises. With that in mind, here is a plan.
Green Card Background
The Green Card is the unofficial name
of the card and system for gaining the right to stay in the country and
work. As it stands, two features are a hindrance to
being a solution to the undocumented alien issues we face today.
First, the green card leads to citizenship. Giving this reward to illegal aliens
is not palatable to those who gained citizenship fairly and
entered the country legally.
Second, millions of people are waiting and following the rules
to get into the United States and gain citizenship.
Giving illegal aliens the green card allows them
to step to the front of the line.
Blue Card
Using a card of a different color (Blue) with different requirements, benefits and
restrictions is a better route for today's illegal aliens
to gain a permanent work permit.
