I agree with this article except for this one point:

Let foreign workers in a variety of industries qualify for temporary employment if Americans won't fill the jobs

The reason why American businesses employ people "under the table" is because they want to pay a substandard wage. They actively seek out illegals to fill these positions, Americans aren't given a choice about wanting the jobs or not. If temporary worker permits are granted to illegals, making them legal and subject to wage minimums of the locality and subject to payroll taxes and such, why would those same employers want to employ them? They would most certainly find other illegals to hire and/or those same temporary workers would again be forced to go back to working "under the table".

I think Americans would fill the jobs. Just remove them from the welfare rolls and force them to go out and earn a living.
