I brought up a solution to a mixed group and made a lot of people mad.
I said that there are jobs that can’t be outsourced or automated. We hire legal and illegal immigrants to do them. If you want to improve employment rates for native born Americans, close the border and deport the illegal immigrants until labor supply matches demand. If the unemployment rate remains too high, start offering incentives to legal immigrants to go home.
That we DO have a way to adapt if we are willing to prioritize taking care of our own poor first.
We should never bring in illegals for any reason. If we truly need more workers they should be brought in legally.
The reason for our immigration laws is so we will know who is coming in, what their intentions are, ETC. That is the problem with illegals, we have no idea who they are, if they want to come here to work or commit crimes.
What you are suggesting is what has been attempted for years and failed. Why do you think at times we crack down and other times the border is all but open? The politicians and businesses that hire illegals have been trying to do that behind our back.
