P: You have a point re: foreigners working. A Chinese friend told me if one failed to answer an employer's call, there were eight standing in line waiting to be the next. A missed call or unanswered message could be one's last. That mentality is common where high populations live and it shows in the immigrants' attitudes - legal and illegal alike - from those regions of the world, unlike us where many say to employers, "Don't dare bother me on my day off!".
We need to knock the legs from under the welfare table. Its reform should be included with any immigration legislation so Americans will no longer be paid not to do those jobs Americans won't do.
That, offering bounties for code violators, and the redesign of the Social Security card would go a long way to curbing the illegal problem, but to get a new SSI card, it should be mandatory to present either a US issued passport, a certificate of citizenship, or a US issued birth certificate and those document numbers linked to the SSI card. Then we can increase the number of greencard recipients because major focus would then be directed to legal immigrations.

Would you like a US where people have to live under those conditions?? Were getting back to sweatshop conditions like this country had at the turn of the century if so.
