With almost no restrictions, anyone who wants to come live or work here should be able to. There should be no effective cap on work or student visas and it should be easy to say cross the border from Mexico or Canada, work in America (and pay taxes), and drive home at night. https://twitter.com/dmcbfs/status/1249353723568062464

The US, Canada, and Mexico should join into an economic union similar to the EU's initial mandate with the goal of eventually bringing central and South America in as well. Encourage bringing consumer protection and environmental protections into alignment + free trade/movement.

We should immediately end all spending on the war on drugs at home and abroad and begin the process of decriminalizing all drugs, redirecting those funds into health and social services programs designed to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Not only would this dramatically reduce violence on the streets over time, it would cut funding from the cartels and reduce violence abroad, eliminating one of the biggest drivers of traumatic mass migration in the western hemisphere.
