I agree wholeheartedly. Sure there should be a guest worker program, of course. Not this one, and not this way.

First control the border, cut off welfare to illegals and deport them, invite working illegals to register proving their employment. Demand the employer give proof that he has run an ad to fill the job, if no American applies then grant the illegal, worker status, no citizenship, no voting priviledges, if he wants to become a citizen he must get in line and wait. Provide a way for Americans who have been turned down for a job held by an illegal to file a challange.

If a state grants them a drivers license then it becomes mandatory for the state to remove the ability to vote in national elections via drivers liscense or their votes will not be counted. Illegals should have an identifying insignia on their divers liscense and SS cards indicating that they are a non-voting guest worker.

Employers knowingly hiring illegals and paying them under the table face mandatory fines and prison time.

Illegals must be paid no less than minimum wage, their families cannot join them and must go home. Others are waiting to come and bring their families, so illegals should not be rewarded for jumping in line by allowing their families to jump in line also. Madatory arrest by local and state police of illegals found in arrest or traffic ticket situations and prompt turn over to an agency that will promptly pick them up and place them in the deportation process.

A stream lined system not blocked by the courts in moving them out of the country. Any activist judge challenging and over riding the law faces mandatory impeachment by the congress and removal from the bench and that includes those sitting on the Supreme Court.

Any congressman, lobbist, or other entity attempting to interfere or cause to hamper the enforcement of these laws and seeks to encourage agencies not to do their job faces mandatory removal from office, loss of lobbying priviledges, fines and prison time.

No Social Security for those that have broken our laws from the date of their registering with the system back. They may qualify for SS from the date of their registering forward.

Millions of jobs are being outsourced every year, now there is a flood of outsourcing, all immigration both legal and illegal must be tied to the number of jobs lost due to outsourcing. Right now I think we are at three million jobs lost, that would mean all immigration must stop for three years or until it becomes obvious that Americans have found satifactory replacement jobs in which immigrants have not been allowed to suppress the wage.

There must be a method in place by which a citizen alone or as a group can challange wage suppression created by immigration and receive repriation from the company involved.

That would be the plan off the top of my head, one that has even the least chance of actually working and that is still very doubtful.

Your long and thoughtful post has a major problem: It isn't what Old Money wants.

They want "all cheap, all the time". They want their dollars to be bigger, as well as more numerous, than anyone else's dollars.

So we have a political reform problem at the top of the agenda, without solving which we can't fix any of the other problems properly.

We have to get rich people, corporations, foreign money interests, and their bagmen and lawyers out of U.S. politics for good.

Then we can figure out what to do with their armies of immigrant labor.
