An employer who is currently employing illegals, that they have spent money training, would prefer to keep that employee rather than hire a new untested immigrant.
I understand that. If the employer wants to keep the worker that much, when the "guest worker" program takes effect, (if the rules go the way I would like them), the employer would have the employee go outside the border, apply for the job, then the company informs the government that they have a job for such and such.
The worker comes back in to the country, with a job waiting, and all is well.
I know, the question is why make both interested parties go to that trouble.
I just don't see rewarding people for breaking our laws as a good thing. Even if they are a good worker.
I also agree that enforcement of labor laws, now and after, is essential.
That is not an illogical point or opinion. I am more lenient on this point than you, but I can accept the will of the American people if that becomes law. I don't think that illegals returning to their homeland is a deal breaker or unwarranted, just counter productive in some ways. Illegals returning to their homeland has some benefits including proving America is a law driven society. After reading your recent posts I feel I have misjudged your character. Reasonable people can disagree on issues. I appreciate your openness and honesty.
We both have strong opinions. I have withstood your strong comments. I did this without clicking on the abuse button because I believe in free speech. Strong opinions on important issues deserve strong language. Your profanity showed your strong opinion but did not strengthen your argument. We are both human and mistakes come with the territory. I would appreciate the same consideration from you if the situation is ever reversed.
I appreciate you tenacity and while I may never admit it in the heat of battle I often learn more from those who disagree with me than those who agree. This is not to say I have changed my mind but that opposition make me think more cleverly. Thank you for taking the time to challenge me.
