That would be the ideal. The problem of illegal workers has plagued California for eons. The braceros come into the USA legally and illegally and pick the fruit and cotton for the California farmers...then go back to Mexico, being able to live NINE months for the THREE months of work.
Mexico enables the illegal workers by giving them brochures on how to sneak into the USA. And, yes, Mexico's literacy rate is very high. The folks are poor but they can read.
There are folks in Mexico who specialize in getting illegals into the USA. It's a huge business.
I WISH the illegals (from any country) would be arrested and shipped out. I WISH that the US governments, on all levels, would have that same desire. However, they don't. They even wax poetic on them, recalling the immigrants who came to this country seeking work, refuge, freedom....etc., and so on.
Mind you, the California farmers don't want to pay American workers $50/hour to pick strawberries. They deserve to make a profit...to be passed on to us consumers.
It's a no-win situation in California and now it's hit Israel. Well, the USA can bail them out somehow. I know Obummer would want to.
You have to wonder about America's welfare population.
Over 20 million Mexicans have managed to swim a brackish river, cross a treacherous desert, dart across a busy highway and find a job in a land where they do not speak the language and are not wanted by a large percentage of the population. Not only are they able to support themselves and save some money, but often support family back home in Mexico.
So why can't our welfare parasites find work?
In principle, I agree. But one of the few things keeping inflation down is the slave wages being paid to illegals (some are slaves BTW).
