President Bush's proposal is already doomed to failure, and for the very reason this author critcizes us opponents to the plan -- impossible enforcement.
What employer is going to hire a "documented" illegal and pay him at least minimum wage plus benefits while a stream of undocumented illegals, willing to work for even less, continues to flood the labor market?
The President's proposal won't do one damned thing except spark a whole new wave of illegals to come into this country to take jobs away from the moron aliens who price themselves out of the market by registering.
Exactly right. All we're doing is adding a bunch of people who will be entitled to not only all government handouts, but forced labor entitlements. Workers comp, min wage etc.
The only "benefit" (if you want to call it that) to illegal immigration is the cheap labor. This makes that go away just adds millions to our "working poor".
