I think the permit should be for one year, but renewed yearly by phone verification for a total of three to four years depending on what they are doing.

...and during that year they have a child born on U.S. soil. Now what? So much for THAT idea, huh?

What?

Do you think that they WON'T reproduce? Especially if it means a free ticket into the country? Would it be impolite of me to roll my eyes?

how about we get AMERICANS back to work? We round up and deport from the illegal-prone business. By court order, we force the business to pay a living wage (like they used to before this flood) as a term and condition of keeping the owner(s) and management out of jail. Wages will go up, Americans will go back to work, illegals will be packed off to home one business at a time and the potential of finding a job illegally when they come back will diminish to nothing. If the head of (for example) Green Giant foods is making a mere $20k a year and the rest of his salary is going to bring his worker's wages back up to where they should be, with the alternative being his going to jail, he'll know who to hire next time around, won't he?

How would they be at risk of being put IN jail? Juries routinely refuse to convict employers.

Or do you plan on declaring a "temporary" suspension of the Constitution?

It didn't mean a free ticket into this country during the last guest worker program; I see no reason why it must equal a free ticket in a new one.

If the Democrats had had more children, then those kids would have stopped them cold from turning a blind eye to illegal immigration eating up their job market.

And competion in a global market has been one of the reasons that our employers are hiring people at wages to compete with employers in China, Indonesia, Bangladesh that pay 50 cents an hour if they are really believe in justice, and less if they don't.

It isn't all greed on their parts. Some of it is simple survival.

That is the most insane comment I have ever read on a conservative forum.

Where did that come from?

Lou Dobbs?

All the rest was not accurate either. That stuff is all ridiculous, and very much a socialist view of capitalism.

I know you did not learn that here.

You wouldn't need to force the wages up --- with competititon for labor, businesses would have to entice workers with wages and benefits. Government takeover of the health care system would become less likely.
