I hate to do this, but I have to disagree with Dr. Sowell. We cannot just jail 12 - 20 million people.

You really didn't read the article, did you?

I agree that this article is not about jailing 12 million people. It’s about making the nation unhospitable to illegal aliens and causing others to think twice about staying or arriving.

I’m convinced that working America doesn’t really understand what it means to their wages to have a flood of people enter the country who are allowed with their Z visa to compete legally for jobs. If 2 people compete for a job the wage is high. If 1000 people compete for a job the wage is lower. Supply and demand.

I’m convinced that politicians who refuse to act on illegal immigration are doing so to provide cheap labor to certain industries.

Not only should employers who hire illegals be fined, but any employer found to be paying any illegal less than the average national UNION wage for that work should be imprisoned.

Notice I didn’t say minimum wage.

We need to let America’s workers know that this seriously, very seriously threatens their jobs and wages.
