+1. You want to really get tough on this issue and end the
incentive for illegal immigration? Enforce the laws we already have for proving US Citizenship at time of hire. A business intentionally employs illegals and reaps the benefits of cheap labor? Seize every dang asset the business has and put it into the INS deportation fund.
That could actually backfire and cause more economic issues with growers out of business and higher inflation. It IS fun to suggest it.
Folks - this is a drug user / drug dealer type scenario. The drug user is the illegal immigrant though their "drug" is wanting to work hard for money to support themselves and their family. The drug dealer is the business that wants cheap labor. We will not stop people from taking any risk necessary to feed their family - how many of us would be stopped?? You
can stop businesses from being the "dealer."
Again, fantasyland and unconstitutional (on the 4th, no less) but a fun one-time program would be to take every illegal that has successfully been employed for three years and give them the SS# of the third, fourth, fifth-gen welfare leechs that we see all too frequently. Let's deport those that use welfare on generational timelines to some undesirable foreign country. Can't think of one? Hmmmm... let's excise Cali from the Union and send them there!!
