You'll have to get a little more specific. I don't know what you're talking about. What is this $100K ? And do you think some big businesses are the only vested interest that gains from illegal aliens ? Have you never seen my list of vested interests ?Rather than talk about Obama's amnesty, we should be talking about Eisenhower's MASS DEPORTATION PROGRAM in 1954 (Operation Wetback). We should be insisting on Operation Wetback II, and NOTHING LESS. We should be talking about mass deportation, because that is what needs to be done to restore America back to its proper status of AMERICANS holding jobs, not being unemployed, wages going to sales in US stores not Mexican ones, US health workers dealing with US diseases, not foreign ones, etc etc.
I'm tired of hearing the immigration issue being discussed on Obama's terms and mindset (amnesty). I say we should be talking about it on Eisenhower's terms and mindset > mass deportation. And it makes more sense tactically as well. If you sell a car for $5K, you ask for $6K, not $4K.
In 1954, I made a current events report to my 4th grade class, with a newspaper clipping about Operation Wetback. I recall that INS agents (which were a fraction of the # of ICE agents we have now, went house to house in Southwestern states, hunting down illegal aliens, and deporting them. They deported 2.1 million (more than any US president, despite false claims from Obama supporters), and another 1 million fled on their own back to Mexico.
The illegals were shipped to the south of Mexico, where Mexican authorities objected loudly. Eisenhower paid zero attention to their objections, and when the Mexicans refused to send boats out to the ships, the illegals were boated in and dumped in the shallow water, where they simply waded ashore. The ships then simply returned to the US.
This is the way illegal immigration should be handled today, and how it should be discussed. Lastly, it is interesting to note that by 1959, illegal immigration in the US, for all practical purposes, ceased to exist.
How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico - CSMonitor.com
There is no reason to be so crass about it, nor spend the money neccesary to transport 12M back to Mexico, or wherever.
The solution is simple. A $100K fine per employee who is not eligible to work in the US.
That catches not just the "wetbacks" it also catches the rest who come here on work visas and then just say after that visa has expired.
Not many companies are going to be willing to pay a $100,000 fine for illegal employees.
No jobs, and they leave on their own.
Oh sure, that leaves probably 2 or 3 million who are working cash jobs that the IRS will never catch them, but we can absorb 2-3M illegal immigrants no sweat.
$100K per illegal employee.
You really think Repubs would vote to do that the 1%?
Who do you think owns most big businesses that currently advertise for workers in Mexico. Or do you think they're all like Romney who fired his illegals because he was running for prez?
