I would like Yang to fund an "X-Prize" for border security. For teams to find the most cost-effective solution using technology (drones, sensors, etc.) as part of his campaign

I've actually thought about this quite a bit. The best answer is to give people an ID (or check their ID) at the border. We could put all this algorithmic progress to work with a National Taskrabbit style program that auto-issues work visas. Want to stay? Find another job posting and get another extension. The key is that we know who is here.
Essentially, people are only coming illegally because it is so freaking hard to get here legally. Then, only the drug smugglers or sex traffickers will be outside the law, and we can deal with them accordingly.

Open ALL Borders and allow True Freedom of Travel across the World! Let the usa be an example to the world, by opening both Northern and Southern Borders, eliminate Passports and Visas, and not confine Humans behind imaginary lines...
We'll be here soon enough, but not yet.
It's possible he'd go for this. I like how he talks about increasing the value of citizenship with things like freedom dividend and democracy voucher so that people are encouraged to come in legally.
I agree, this does seem possible.
I don't think this will be the winning submission for the X-Prize.
