how about we let them build the wall, since they are so good at masonry work, just make sure that they are on the other side when the last brick is placed....

I belive there are already plans to do just that ,  but not 100 % sure...  I live in the midwest, and there are comunities up here , that are flooded with illegal aliens...  The town 30 miles away from me is now over ran, because a local meat packer prefers cheap, disposable labors, instead of hiring long term locals, that will want the best wadge possible so that they may support their families  \n\n  Companies love to hire Illegal aliens, they will not unionize, and the can be fired at any moment, for any reason ( If any ) and not be able to take any action aginst the company.  All they need to do, is work 4-5 years in America, go back south exchange dollars to pasos, and live like kings. \n\n   Illegals are taking good jobs away from tax paying Americans, The argument that they only take the crap jobs we don't want, is not true. They are steadily breaking down the pay scale, and the rights we deserve in the work place. \n\n   In short I say ,   either build the wall or but up 1000 signs along the boarder that reads " Tresspasser will be shout on sight. " .

You are right.  It's not going to help.  It's just going to cause some of them to lose their jobs, and some of the businesses to suffer and lose customers because they have to close for the day, or don't get jobs done in time, etc....\nThey shouldn't be punishing the very people who have given them opportunities to work and make money in this country.  They should be THANKING THEM.\nThanks for asking such a good question....

Punish employers who hire illegal immigrants with jail time and/or huge fines. The same for people who rent housing to them. No jobs and nowhere to live will stop them from coming.

Key provisions of the Senate's main immigration bill would create a "gold card" program for illegal immigrants who entered the United States before Jan. 4, 2004, and create a guest worker program to bring in more foreign laborers, according to Senate Judiciary Committee staff members.\n\nThe committee is to begin debating the measure Wednesday under a three-week timetable aimed at producing a final version for the full Senate by March 27.\n\nSponsored by the committee chairman, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., the legislation is designed to strike a middle course between a bill passed by the House that calls for tougher immigration enforcement and the wishes of pro-immigration advocates who call for permanent legal status -- and eventual citizenship -- for an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.\n\nPresident Bush, defying objections from conservatives, has called for an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws and the creation of a temporary guest worker program to ensure a steady source of labor for U.S. businesses. Under Bush's plan, qualified workers, including residents now living here illegally, could stay in jobs for up to six years, then would be required to return home.In a move to build support for Bush's guest worker amnesty plan, administration officials talked about how they would actually implement the program. Jaws dropped as the administration reps explained the centerpiece of the program, a "Gold Card" that would enable illegal aliens to enter the U.S. at will, and work at any job with no labor market or other tests needed but would deny them citizenship. "Gold Card" would be valid forever, similar to current "Green Cards" but illegal aliens holding a "Gold Card" would not be able to adjust their status through naturalization.

Send the illegal immigrants back to their countries. That's where many of our child workers come from, right? I also think we need stricter penalties for abusing child labor. i.e. boss who keeps 16 year old past his working limit should be fined.

Unless you are a diplomat, you cannot bring your personal employees over here (USA).  That is why you received no replies.

Both, they aren't mutually exclusive. The Guest Worker program must have a defined end. Workers should not be able to stay indefinetly.\n\nI haven't seen all of the details yet but the way the McCain/Kennedy proposal handles the current illegals seems pretty good to me.

That is why "W" wants bio/digital ID's for "guest" workers.  The US embassies, abroad, are already using digital fingerprinting/DNA coding for applications for visas.  The technology is there, the cost is NOT that high.  Of course, under Slick Willie, we would ALL be required to carry them.

Excellent idea!\n\nIf they need any money to get this project rolling, let me know where to send my check.\n\n.

I would discuss this with your company management and see what they say.  If they're providing the home office, they probably have guidelines for deciding issues like this.

CURLIES_10-You Need To Learn The Underlying Issues Before You Become A Taxpayer(Im Assuming Youre A Student Living With Your Parents)\n\nFREEDOMHAMMER Makes The Point Best-It Is GREEDY Unscrupulous EMPLOYERS That ENABLE This Problem And Have Compounded It To This Point\n\nThere are jobs Americans simply won't do, so that the importation of foreigners is essential. Whether these foreign workers are ILLEGAL ALIENS,  guestworkers, or permanent Legal Immigrants is a detail to be worked out by us, the argument goes, but our need for them is unchanged.Even many opponents of the proposed Bush Amnesty assume this to be true, leading them to propose new and improved guestworker programs, with provisions for stricter controls against Permanent Settlement, greater incentives to return, tighter enforcement against Unscrupulous Employers, etc. As well-meaning as such efforts may be, the basic assumption is false — \n\nThere is simply no economic reason to import FOREIGN Workers.If the supply of FOREIGN Workers were to dry up (say, through actually ENFORCING the immigration law, for starters), employers would respond to this new, tighter, labor market in two ways. \n\n1: One, they would offer HIGHER Wages, INCREASED Benefits, and Improved Working Conditions, so as to recruit and retain people from the remaining pool of workers.\n\n2:At the same time, the same employers would look for ways to eliminate some of the jobs they now are having trouble filling. The result would be a NEW Equilibrium, with Blue-Collar Workers making somewhat Better Money, but each one of those workers being more productive.\n\nMany people fear the first part of such a response, claiming that prices for fruits and vegetables would skyrocket, fueling inflation..NOT TRUE..Labor accounts for only about ten percent of the retail price of a head of lettuce,  so even doubling the wages of pickers would have little noticeable effect on consumers.\n\nSeveral people told me they used to do the "jobs Americans won't do" until local employers figured out they could get ILLEGAL Aliens to work for less than half the same amount. As an example, a young landscaper who used to make $15 an hour 10 years ago, can't get a similar job now for more than $8 an hour. Same heat. Same difficult working conditions.  But with the Depressed Wage, AMERICANS – who live in a country where the cost of living is miles above that of Mexico's – can't afford to take such jobs.It's not that he and other Americans don't want to do landscaping anymore; it's just that in heavily trafficked ILLEGAL Alien environments, IT DOESNT PAY WELL ENOUGH ANYMORE.\n\n Younger U.S.-born high school graduates are squeezed at both ends. Jobs that would have gone to them in the past are now being grabbed by college graduates. The lowest-wage jobs are unappealing, and employers will not raise wages as long as ILLEGAL Immigrants will take them.\n\nIf this is what the open borders crowd means by ILLEGAL ALIENS doing jobs Americans don't want, they're right. American workers want jobs that can Earn them a DECENT LIVING in this country. Minimum wage is a fortune south of the border, but it doesn't go far here. \n\n\nthis is to illustrate the absurdity of a "comprehensive" approach to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS , and the more radical of the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT  advocates who are proponents of an "open borders" policy. We don't take a comprehensive, humane approach with drug dealers because they are breaking our laws and causing great damage to this country by poisoning our children. Similarly, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS  violate our laws and Poison our system of Economics by TAKING JOBS  from American Workers, Keeping WAGES ARTIFICIALLY LOW, and Sucking MILLIONS of Dollars of TAXPAYERS MONEY out of our Welfare and Medical Systems. \nNot To Mention The Fact That A Majority Of ILLEGAL ALIENS Live And Work In This Country And Then Send Their Money Back Home To Their

Good idea.\n\nFresh start.

Collect income taxes on the spot from all illegal immigrants who come in for services.  Anyone who says they don't have money, not a problem.  Make them give two pints of whole blood.  Unable to give blood?  Not a problem.  Make them do maintenance work on the facilities, like painting, plumbing, cleaning, etc according to their skill level.  Unable to do work?  No problem.  Make them do eight hours of translating service.  Not bilingual (can't speak English)?  No problem.  Just tell them you don't speak whatever language they speak, and after a few hours of not getting anything they came for, hopefully they'll leave and not come back.\n\nLOL.  Sorry if I put anyone off with this reply, but you were looking for humorous replies, right?  I mean, you did ask how to make the NHS more efficient and cost effective.  Now, that's a joke!!! \n\nROFLMAO

NO. I think that would be impossible. We cannot flourish if people are not working. Outsourcing causes Americans to loose jobs. Think of the problem on an individual level, if as an individual you cannot take care of yourself and have to depend on others what would happen? Just like individuals our country needs to be self sufficient.

The only solution now is:\nprovide alternate workplace for these small traders, may be a big complex or so. This would mean that they also have a means of living and at the same time we can also eliminate unauthorized buildings.\n\nNext step is to put a strict rule aganist allocation of lands by corporation in near future. So that this problem does not rise again.
