Democrat politicians in red states lie and to prove that point .. just take a look at Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano
Here's the thing .. there are jobs that americans won't/can't do .. so on that point the President is not completely wrong
So yes, there is a need for a guest workers
The problem is .. there AREN'T 12-20 million jobs that americans won't/can't do
And the President isn't completely wrong about this bill not being a blanket amensty bill
Though it's pretty damn close to it with the Z visa plan
It would be more productive to actually point out what is wrong with this immigration bill then to just running around sounding like the Daily Kos
“Here’s the thing .. there are jobs that americans won’t/can’t do ...”
Incorrect. But if you add the phrase, “at, near or below minumum wage with no benefits” you’d be correct.
I suggest we instigate a Z Retirement Test Plan with these interlopers/illegals/criminals/guests (pick one).
Here's the details:
1-Issue each of these "guests" a unique ID card beginning with, yep you guessed it, Z.
2-Tax them (at the social security rate), collect money, put it into a fund untouchable by anyone, especially politicians.
3-Let this fund accrue interest at whatever the current rate may be.
4- In 10 years compare the Z Fund with the Social Security Fund for a like number of workers.
5- In 10 years ship all of 'em home with their Z Fund stash (Most will be glad to go.)
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Eliminate the "Born here, automatic citizenship" program and if these guests do get sick, deduct cost of healthcare from "their" Z Fund. I'll bet they'll be healthier than you can imagine.
This might need some tweaking, but it's a heck of a lot better plan than the Amnesty Plan.
