59 - "A conviction would have to be conditional upon proof of intent. Also, it should not be used against individuals who hire casual laborers, just corporations, and even then perhaps those corporations who have at least x number of employees.
A better idea is to institute some sort of tamper-proof biometric markings to track citizen and visitor alike."

Sorry, I must disagree -

1. I don't want to be tracked by bio-chips. I am tracked enough already. What you propose is very scary.

2. It is cheap enough, that if you can pay for an illegal to do some work for you, you can pay for his trip back home. Your method leaves too many holes. Next time, the individual can hire the boy down the street to cut his lawn, and pay him enough that he will do it. That's how I earned all my money as a teenager. And it paid for a car, gas, dates, movies, etc.

Well, it seems like you want to take a relative good and turn it into an absolute good, which is the hallmark of an ideologue. Supposedly the kid down the street is an illegal alien from Scotland, and the family wants a trip home for free, since they're all cheapskates and sponges anyway. What a better way than to mow someone's lawn for $5.00 and report him to the XBob Immigration and Travel Bureau.
