To be fair I never said it would be to the advantage of the people we relocate, but it would be to the advantage of the rest of us. Imagine a society with no poverty, no homelessness, next to no crime, etc.


It's not that it would be to their disadvantage it would ruin and kill them.

Poverty often follows medical issues which then wouldnt see any help. Compare total mortality with projected mortality and you can figure out how many exactly you are murdering.

To facilitate the operation you will have to gut civil rights setting precedents with horrible implications for everyone's freedom.

If you can send someone to a foreign land because they are poor, lame, or merely unsuccessful removing all of their rights merely because their fellow citizens will be richer for it then what rights do YOU have left that are inalienable?

Presumably your rules don't apply to all those who have no wealth or income who depend on others so now dependants are slaves who need fear losing their status if they fall out of favor.

We can apply the same logic to the working poor who now must fear deportation as a result of losing their asses when terminated.

Spousal abuse and labor mistreatment will rise substantially.

Then we must ask what nation would willingly serve as our ashtray of undesirables.

Your idea is like an endless cornacopua of horrible implications. The last time I read a blueprint for a worse outcome it was written by George Orwell.
