EXACTLY!! Excellent point, best one made concerning this travesty yet.
Put all the lazy bums on welfare now to work instead of bringing in some more illegal ones to collect welfare!!

I have never been this angry about anything Bush has done
this makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever.
He is NOT a conservative republican!

The answer to this problem has been solved previously in the United States. For employers and citizens wanting workers, the costs involved, education, health care, housing, etc. should be calculated and the employer should put up the necessary funds to reimburse the public sector for each foreign hiree that they bring in.

The indentured worker has to sign a contract with the potential employer for a certain period of time to repay the employer for the investment that he made to bring him in. This was a common practice in the 1800's and would eliminate most of the inequities people complain about today. Any plan will have to include a provision that borders have to be strictly enforced with both parties being responsible for the integrity of the border.

Mexico should be held accountable for the increased expenditures that any illegals cause the states, cities, counties and Federal government spend to take care of Mexican citizens within the United States.

We have too many examples of businesses and individuals trying to reap the benefits of illegals, and at the same time, expecting the general public to pay the costs of those illegals. It is time that corporate welfare is subjected to the budget axe and asked to pick up its responsibilities.
