Why does this stop illegal immigration and not encourage it? Would this proposal make new laws saying "NOW illegal immigration is truly illegal"?
Does an illegal immigrant who arrives after this thing would start get to apply for this also, therefore becoming a guest worker too?
Now every single construction company in the U.S has to only pay its workers minimum wage.
Every single munufacturing plant has to only pay its workers minimum wage.
Now after three years the resident worker goes home to Mexico and lives well on his wages while the American worker must adapt to a very poor lifestyle.
In other words there could begin a new class of Americans , the minimum wage worker.
would the government require raises for these people or only for citizen workers?
Does the Mexican government now get to lobby the U.S. government for higher wages for their citizens?
This is the worst idea I have ever heard of because our politicians do not have the balls to fine companys who hire illegals.
Because employers would have a legal pool of labor and wouldn't want to risk hiring illegals. Thus illegals will have reason to come over.

Not as currently conceived. If that were to be the case the whole thing would be pointless. I suppose Congress could screw it up though.
Now every single construction company in the U.S has to only pay its workers minimum wage.
If construction work is really so economically valuable then we could just raise the minimum wage.
