#1 McCain's a two-faced liar. Send them home - let them start the process from there. Waiting til a Donk admin's in and amnesty for votes would be the du jour policy

#2 Hector Flores, the national leader of the League of United Latin American Citizens or LULAC, says the economy would shut down if the US got rid of all illegal workers.

I see they don't teach capitalism in schools these days. Either the cost of labor will raise [therefore making minimum wage issues moot] to attract legal workers to do the job and therefore pass on the cost to consumers who will pay the additional direct expenses [vice indirect subsidies by government services] or the work won't be done because it is not important enough to be done in the real market place because higher costs make the product/service marginal to the market.

Scare tactic.

#5 "Scare tactic."

And a full load of BS by my experience. I once worked in a restaurant in San Diego that had employed illegals in the kitchen more often than not. When a local corporation bought the place, it insisted that all it's employees be citizens or have valid work visas. Those new openings in the kitchen were immediately filled as required.

#6 If you want a 'gueat worker' program - fine. Just require that they apply from their native country - and not just mexico either bit *any* country. And do not allow them to bring their family with them. Require a sponsor (coroprate or personal) to vouch and be help responsible for them.

If they want to then immigrate then they have to go back and follow the existing LEGAL PROCESS just like everybody else.

Start cracking down damn hard on people and corporations (wall-mart anyone?) and their CEOs and CFO's personally for hiring illegal aliens with serious penalties - both financial and prison-time (and dont allow them to buy their way into club-fed either!).

Start deporting illegal aliens (of all origins - not just non-mexicans). No catch-and-release. Build guarded tent cities out in the middle of nowhere if needed until you can ship them out - just base it on LEGAL STATUS and not Race / Gender / Nationallity.

Require a tamper-proof green card (or proof-of-citizenship or guest-worker card) in order to send money out of the country.

Deny citizenship to babies born of an illegal-alien parent.

Deny all medical treatment (except life-saving of course), schools, and welfare to illegal aliens. I dont give a shit if they pay taxes or not -- if they are illegal they lose it - tough shit. Make them go home to apply for visas or guest workers - if its 'economically hard' for them too bad - they are ILLEGAL.

#7 If you want a 'gueat worker' program - fine.

One more thing: send the Family Reunification crap to the dustbin where it belongs. Legal immigrants (not "guest workers") can get their petitions reviewed case-by-case, but guest workers do not get to bring their families here.
