O'Reilly had that really cool Sheriff from AZ on tonight. He's going to lock up all the illegals he can find in tents by using posse-men. O'Reilly asked him what he would do if he caught 20,000 and the Sheriff replied, "I'll build tents from here to the border if I have to."
Moral of the story, if we legalize the folks who are here and set up a guest worker program, they will demand prevailing wages and benefits, so we gain nothing but a bigger population and a bigger drain on social services.
Here's my solution (well, not really mine but piece meal from other places, but anyways). Step 1 - shut down the southern border for real with troops and walls. Step 2 - give the illegals who are here 4 months to identify themselves. Those who don't identify themselves go to prison for 5 years before getting deported when we catch up with them. Step 2 - figure out how many illegals are upstanding, send the rest back, send the really bad ones to jail. Step 3 - Give the employers 3 months from the end of the 4 to come clean. Step 4 - now, with the employers having to pay fair wages, see exactly how many low level employees we need. My guess is not that many since we have a 4.7% unemployment rate, not a ZERO% rate. Step 5 - create a guest worker program to accomodate that need.
