I might accept some deal that admits the NEXT half million, forcing most here to go back and cross again, but nothing that wouls allow peons to come over and claim they had a prior right based on having snuck in before the amnesty ended.
Further, as a measure of good faith, I would insist, as a precondition of any dicussion of migration, the Mexicans stopped the flow of drugs. Sure, this would hit Fox in the pocket and hurt many of his drug lord and PANista friends, but there has to be some reason for the US to even talk.
Imagine what that would do to surrounding Counties with a similar budget deficit. Do you think it might prompt them to do a similar action?
Do you think it might convince the State officials that we citizens are serious in our desire to protect our communities from being over run by illegal aliens?
The reason I chose a lesser populated County rather than a crowded one is that I think this idea would be easier to discuss with the local residents if you are only dealing with a few thousand instead of a few million. This would be a good way to keep taxes and crime down to bearable rates. Just think about not having to build a new school to educate illegal alien children! Or hire more police officers to control the crime rates.
Amnesty is the completely wrong approach. For one illegals can't prove how long they've been in the country and millions will and are coming over just to get in on it ---not to work hard either because amnesty qualifies them for all kinds of welfare programs and other government programs. Once they are amnestied, the few who are here to work hard for low wages would have to be paid the minimum wage and provided all sorts of things like Workman's Comp and overtime pay and Earned Income Tax, then they'd no longer be the cheap employees their employers wanted and will be replaced with new illegals who'll do the work the Americans and amnestied won't do.
