No, legal workers won't pick strawberries or wash floors, and work in a sweatshop, or slash away at manzanita overgrowth on hillsides, etc., at 5 dollars an hour. Push that wage up to 10 dollars an hour, and the dam will burst, and illegals will really start to pour in, unless we empty out the jail cells of druggies, and put employers in them in their stead.

Jailing employers. What a novel idea! I like the idea I heard before though. Take all the illegals and offer them jobs protecting the border. Then have, for every illegal ever caught inside the border both that one deported and one randomly selected border guard from the program deported. They would have an incentive to keep others from following in their footsteps.
The only problem is that over time, border protection would break down but since it wasn't a serious idea anyways I figure that is just a trifling inconvenient aspect.
