This is why Immigrants will be the salvation of the US.

We need to simply drown them out and push them to the margins of society. They don’t want to act civilized? Then we can treat them as the barbarians they are. I think colonization of the South is a reasonable solution to this crisis.

You never game out where these immigrants are supposed to come from and the attendant consequences of importing enough of them to have a demographic impact on the South. A Mom Anon already pointed out why getting people to move to the South is going to be difficult, at best, so you’re going to need to import desperately impoverished people used to to living in squalor.

Where are these people going to come from, and how are women viewed in those places? Are you just going to be substituting one hardcore belief set and targets of entrenched bigotry for another? You don’t address the obvious economic consequences, importing impoverished people to a country that’s exported its manufacturing infrastructure means they’re going to have difficult time supporting themselves.

Maybe we could just nationalize all the farms, that always ends well.

Anyway, if you’re going to indulge yourself in this fantasy nonsense try to anticipate and deal with the most predictable consequences and obstacles. I have a recurring fantasy that involves a teleportation device and a giant prison tunneled into the Moon, but I don’t present it here as a rational option for what should be obvious reasons.
