A proposal to solve the foreign labour problem in our Land

TO The People of the Elite Republic:

Recently there has been an increase in displeasure concerning the influx of foreign workers from India and China in our land. People are displeased as the import of foreign talents meant that our jobs are stolen and there is less space in our already cramped state.

Trains become overcrowded because of these foreign workers. Places where foreign workers hang out are reportedly to be unsafe and more police presence is requested. There is also a hygiene problem associated with foreign workers.

I understand that because our society is such a fine and refined and re-refined place, it is really difficult to accept these foreign talents. The presence of these talents will only taint our perfect society where everybody is gracious and kind and courteous. Their presence puts the safety of our children and women at risk as all our locals are perfectly law abiding people and there would be no crime if not for the foreign workers.

Because of this very serious problem of the import of foreign talents, I propose the following solution to solve this problem.

These foreign workers have been employed here for purposes such as construction, road maintenance, garbage clearing, road sweeping and other jobs that require hard labour. These jobs need to be carried on in order to maintain the perfect city that we are currently enjoying. In order to shift these workers out of our country, perhaps the only solution is for our citizens to take up such jobs.

These tasks are difficult, and only those who have been trained will be able to do it. Because of this difficulty, we will have to begin selecting children from every family and put them through specific training for the specified tasks and make them carry out these roles with professionalism. After their training, they will then join the profession (construction worker, road sweeper, garbage clearer etc) and pursue it as a career for their whole life.

Because these jobs are important in the maintenance of our city as a clean and green and perfect city, I suggest that we get the people who are most responsible and gracious to do it for us. In view of this, we should therefore enlist the children of families whose income lies in the top 10% of this city. There also other reasons for this.

Getting the rich to do this low paying task would also contribute in closing the income gap, which is a social problem that the gracious and thoughtful rich has been trying to solve but couldn’t find a solution to. We are solving two problems with one solution here, which I believe goes in line with the efficiency and productivity mentality that this city subscribes to.

Such a proposal not only solves the problem of foreign workers in this city, but also closes the income gap, and it even allows the gracious and kind rich to do their part in developing this country. No one will be here to steal our jobs because our children will be trained to fill these jobs. There will be no more cramped trains. The city will be so safe that we won't even need to have the police force anymore. I strongly encourage the citizens to think through this proposal and put it into action.
