Re: Ken's solution to illegal immigration
There is a simple way to cure the illegal problem. You eliminate the lure. <br /><br /> Employers will be fined a minimum $10,000 for hiring an illegal. And for EACH illegal they hire. That will quickly kill the demand for cheap, illegal labor when it no longer is cheap. That will dry up the labor lure. <br /><br /> No illegal will be elgigible for ANY type of benefit. Welfare, food assistance, medical, citizenship, etc. PERIOD. No exceptions, no shortcuts, no way around things. You ask, what will the people do? They'll go back home where they came from. They're here now because they've got it better than at home. Make it worse and they will leave. <br /><br /> Unfortunately there's not a soul in a position of power that would ever suggest this, much less implement it. We'd rather watch the country disintegrate than "offend" someone.<br /><br />UFM82
