I think the key question is:
"How do we maintain the benefits of immigration while eliminating the negative consequences of it"
immigrants provide inexpensive labor, start up companies and create jobs, and are consumers who buy goods and services.
In the mean time we have higher crime rates, elevated expenses for health care and prisons.
Here's my plan
My proposal in a nutshell
1. Be able to identify legal workers and citizens easily (with an identity card that is tied to data bases so that a forged card won't cut it)
2. Now employers can buy a $50 machine to verify if potential workers are legal or illegal.
3. Liberally give work permits to thousands of outstanding mexican citizens (without criminal records, etc).
4. Crack down on employers who don't verify work status. (e.g. $10,000 per employee)
5. Tax the workers to cover health care costs for this group of people.
6. Create refugee camps for those who then enter the country illegally.
