"Legality" is only offered to people who can support themselves, speak English, have no criminal records and pay for health care (in other words, "productive members of society") after they have paid a $5,000 penalty for coming here.

Two comments:

1. What's the need? Implement the simple 3-step plan I've posted and you don't need the Federal Bureaucracy that goes with Newt's plan.
2. Sounds good on paper, but if you really think this will come to conclusion successfully, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

As your plan is similar to Gingrich's it requires similar bureaucracy. The ideas that Gingrich is suggesting require nothing more that changes to ICE procedures.

You are beating around the bush on how you would proceed (other than offering the same solutions as Gingrich), so I am going to assume that you favor removing financial incentives in the hope that this alone will resolve the problem. Sort of how the two Bobs in Office Space proposed getting rid of Milton. That solution was oversimplified, and so is your. Regulations only go so far in a capitalistic society. At some point individuals either finagle a way around them, or are willing to take the legal risk. EVerify, and other plans may drastically lower wages, and even eliminate jobs to the point that millions of illegals will leave. Millions more will find a way to stay. A large percentage of illegals are employed essentially as private contractors (maids, caddies, delivery boys, painters, handymen, etc.). I can't even begin to imagine the extent of the bureaucracy it would take to go after these people. If you say can, you're lying.
