My solution to the problem is this :

Not withstanding any laws already in place - Effective Immediately!

All ILLEGAL aliens have 90 days to turn themselves in and pay a fine of US$1500 failing which, they will be DEPORTED!

All ILLEGAL aliens who turn themselves in and pay their fine will be granted a renewable "guest worker card" - valid for 3 years. To renew this card after 3 years will cost US$1000.

Companies that hire valid "guest workers" will be required to pay a monthly levy to the government of US$350 for each employee hired. ~ This levy must be paid in full in advance. ~ In other words, if Walmart wants to hire an a valid "guest worker" to sweep the floor then they must pay US$12600 up front.

Twenty-five percent of the guest workers salary with 10% deducted from the "guest workers" pay and 15% contributed by the company ~ is to be deducted by the employer and paid to the government to be held in a special fund to be be paid in full to the "guest worker" when they leave the United States. Once a "guest worker" takes the money from their fund, they are not allowed to return as a "guest worker"

"Guest Workers" who are convicted of a criminal offense are DEPORTED and their company paid levy and fund money are forfeited.

"Guest Workers" can apply to become a citizen only after 6 years in the program provided they have not commited any offense.

"Guest Workers" are not entitled to receive ANY social services.

All companies that wish to hire "guest workers" must apply to hire a "guest worker" and present proof that they have been unable to fill the position with an American citizen.

All companies that hire ILLEGAL aliens are fined 10 Million dollars.

Landlords who do business with ILLEGAL aliens are fined 10 million dollars.

It's not so much that I hate the President's plan as I'm in complete disbelief that anything will change under it. I'd rather see the enforcement first. However, Mr. Newt made some inroads with me last night on Hannity in that if you set up this guest worker program, then the so-called non-criminal illegals will come through the border crossing, eliminating a huge percentage of the illegal crossings, and making it easier to apprehend the ones that still do it. And these will be more likely to be the terrorists, criminals, and drug traffickers that we really want to have an intimate, private, and personal conversation with.

Here's MY solution to the problem:

1.) Pass a law declaring that any U.S. company that hires illegal aliens immediately forfeits all of it's assets to the Dept. of Homeland Security. Ditto for individual U.S. citizens hiring illegals for domestic help. If the workers were supplied through a third party contractor, then both parties forfeit everything.

2.) Enforce that law relentlessly.

If an employer knows that being caught means losing everything and going to jail, they won't risk hiring illegals. If illegals know they won't be able to find a job or receive state and federal handouts, they won't come. If the prospects dry up for those that are already here, they'll leave.

It seems pretty straightforward to me. Can anybody tell me why it wouldn't work?
