I happen to agree with the plan to get the illegals out by creating a national ID card. If a worker didn‘t have one and was hired, his employer would be fined or go to jail. Then of course you implement your low skill worker program. It’s not a new plan but has been around for years.Terrorists? Really? Seriously.
Okay, buddy back away from the Fox News, turn off the hate radio, and breath... breath... the Scary Mexicans aren't going to kill you when they are doing some yardwork.
Again, you've been singing this song SINCE 9/11. Oh, we need to stop these bad old terrorists sneaking in across the border, they are leaving their prayer rugs all over the place. Or maybe that's Aunt Gerdy's old rug she just tossed out there... but scary stuff.
Meanwhile, all the terrorist attacks that have been carried out since 9/11 have either been people who grew up here or recent legal immigrants.
Hey, don't take my word on the corruption of the Border Patrol.
Check out this from the Conservative Cato Institute.
Now, here is my solution to the illegal alien problem, which the right wing will never go for, because it would actually solve the problem.
Forget trying to catch people at the border, that's stupid. The worst you can do to them is send them back, and they try again next week. You whine about the 2 million encounters, but how many of those are the same people who just keep getting caught.
Not to mention the fact that half the undocumented immigrants didn't sneak across the border. They came here on a tourist, work, or student visa that expired and didn't leave.
Instead, put the emphasis on the mostly white people who hire them.
The farmer who hires a bunch of illegals to pick their crops.
The Rich Yuppies who think of Lupe as a member of the family, so that's why they don't pay her taxes.
The sweatshop owner who pays people below minimum wage for harsh work.
The middle class home owner who hires a bunch of day laborers from in front of the Home Depot because that DIY project turned out to be tougher than Chip and Joanna made it look.
Create a National ID Card with biometrics, that you cannot get a job or government benefits without presenting.
Then create a guest worker program like Germany has to allow for low-skill labor to come to this country to fill the jobs the undocumented are currently doing and Americans won't do.
Now you are going to blame Republicans for the fact this plan hasn’t passed but it’s Biden that told the illegals to come on in. Trump was building a wall to keep them out.
The Democrats see the illegals as future voters to replace the blacks who are just beginning to realize that they have been played as fools for decades. The Republicans see the illegals as cheap labor to keep the wages down and increase profits. A new slave class if you will. (Keeping the wages low will also help keep blacks dependent on the Democratic Party for welfare.)
So we get nowhere. .
