My point in these posts has been that Americans have NO IDEA how much they depend on wetback labor. Not even so called informed FReepers. If the 'deport em all now' crowd suddenly got their wish ... our economy would grind to a halt faster than if half the oil tankers on the sea were suddenly sunk. The answer? It's about as easy as going back to the original constitution where only land holders could vote. (something I advocate by the way). Then the problem would be fixed. Only then. Of course it would have to be only male land owners as most women are liberals. (sorry FReeper girls it's just a fact)
rintense has a better answer:
...if you take all the folks on welfare, put them to work in these lower-end jobs, there will be no need for illegals.
The only problem with that is that your workers would be wholly incompetent and unable to do the work. They would literally starve before they became profecient at even such a menial job as floor sweeping. Just showing up to work ... let alone on time ... is BEYOND them.
