Call the president. I have an answer to the illegal immigration problem. The federal government uses businesses to collect taxes, right? So why not use the IRS template to control undocumented workers.
It's simple. If an employer knowingly hires an illegal, said undocumented worker could report the employer to the INS and he would get immediate citizenship and a $2,000 bounty and the employer would be fined $5,000.
If the illegal worker used forged documents, he would be deported with a felony on his record. If he is caught again using forged document he would be jailed.
Employers already ask for SS# - documentation could include green cards and guest worker cards. The feds would have to set up a data bank so employers could check document.

So, let me get this straight. You want to deputize illegal aliens as legal undercover agents to snitch on U.S. citizens--- then reward them with citizenship and money.
WTF!
Our senators are supplying all the testimony the illegals will need when they come seeking reparations from the American taxpayers.
Thank you!!

Oh no, not the evil "profit"!
The mater of "using" is what I find interesting. It has a socialist tinge to it. The evil capitalist pigs are merely "using" the poor working man ... I look at at it as more of a mater of trade. Some trade their labor and others trade their cash. Both benefit from the transaction. We just need to be clear on what we are asking the government to regulate, for there are alway unintended results. If we want the government to require we check the immigration status of everyone we trade with, fine. Just be aware it can lead to retailers also checking the immigration status of everyone they trade with also. I do not think this is a path we want to head down, but I'm just funny that way.
I say the border should be fortified so that the best way in is legally.
Castro is a nice guy, anyone in his jails will tell you so. Funny how Castro and his socialist friends would also talk about workers being used or exploited to make a profit. A Canadian company runs a mine there and pays the workers thru Castro's bank account. Best not to support Castro, or socialist thinking over here.
Not fraud, bureaucracy.
The The illegal invasion from mexico is pitting us against each other, the pro illegals and the anti illegal groups.
What I don't understand is how there could even be one pro illegal person when faced with the facts of why they are bad for this country, the facts are overwhelming against them!
If someone is (falsely) earning $s under your SS#, it's a pain for you to reconcile.
Employers declare & pay SS taxes quarterly.
The SSA informs those employers when a discrepancy exists (current discrepancies = 9 mil/yr) but doesn't enforce.
So, 9 mil bogus/illegal workers + dependents = ?? million.
I understand your point, but I reject the irony of virtually turning illegal aliens into agents of the Immigration & Naturalization Service.
Another idea:
If an "illegal" volunteers for a two year hitch with the Army, he or she is rewarded immediately with citizenship for self, plus his or her spouse and children if they are already living in U.S.
(If the "illegal" receives a dishonorable discharge, they all have to leave U.S. (or move to Massachusetts and run for Congress).
I THINK IF YOU TAKE A GOOD LOOK, YOU WILL SEE THAT MOST OF THE PRO ILLEGALS ARE ILLEGALS THEMSELVES AND DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO BE PROTESTING IN THIS COUNTRY ANYWAY.
