OK, the problem with mass deportations, as I see it, is that everyone says the economy will take a huge hit. Right?
If the guest worker program is started, the companys that now hire illegals will be required to hire legal guest workers. Correct? (How they are going to require this when they can't do it now I don't know)
If the companys can hire the legal guest worker then the illegal immigrant will be out of a job. (Why take the chance if you don't have to?)
At this point you deport the illegal and the economy isn't affected.
Why would they do that?
You let them know that if they want the job, they go home first.
If they don't go home, and a legal guest worker applies for that job, they are out of a job and deported. That's why they would do that.
It wouldn't be fast but I would rather see everyone start from the beginning than see someone that broke our laws get preference.
So...your plan is for people who live in Mexico to apply for jobs currently held by illegal immigrants so that the companies are forced to fire the illegals and hire legals.
So...for every illegal you fire, one legal comes in and the illegal just shrugs his shoulders and goes home instead of trying to find other work here.
The employer who willingly hires illegals will of course post job offers to replace his illegal workers, and the employer who unknowingly hires illegals would do the same.
Riiiiiight...
