The crux of it seems to be that the open borders people don't understand what's going on. You propose a way to educate them. I also suggest that we could just stop listening to the uninformed. White, male landowners are already pretty based on immigration. Back in the day, we didn't need to house illegals in weird places to get the point across. Democracy as a decision making mechanism just didn't listen to the chronically-uninformed.
As fun as your proposal sounds, we can't have a government program to educate on every issue. If stupid people are voting, democracy is lost anyways. It is likely to be replaced some sort of authoritarian mechanism, because people will value safety over freedom when it comes down to it. We've seen that before.
For all I know, democracy is entirely untenable, but it seems like it really went sideways with the expansion of the franchise. I'd like to see us roll that back before we go straight into the government placing illegals in people's houses.
