This would put the problem in the lap of the State Department where it belongs, there by adding a few more teeth to the issue. It may also stop the constant interchange of the terms "Illegal Immigrant" and "Immigrant' used constantly by the "pro people" for thier senseless arguments

CHEAP TOMATOES
This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet

CHEAP TOMATOES? This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent
From a California school teacher - - -
"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal
Immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a Large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 School, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and Income levels. Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll. But a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family
Watch their kids. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; My budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute Teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "PutBlankas" whoblankres and throwing things that the teachers were in tears.
Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements? To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and Housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools,overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes!!!
We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return? There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to our country and many that I consider my true friends. We should Encourage and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way.
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third- world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about "politically correctness" that we don't have the will to do anything about it. If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.
CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about? Business doesn't want to pay a decent wages.Consumers don't want expensive produce.Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor."
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.He qualifies for food stamps. He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school. He requires bilingual teachers and books.He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his. The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people.THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE RESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. 'AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!'

THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL
GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE.

WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BE THE WELFARE STATE FOR THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DONT YOU CRITICIZING AMERICANS GET IT THROUGH YOUR THINK HEADS THAT MANY IMMIGRANTS COME HERE TO WORK! YES TO WORK! I know many of you are really greatful that you are not an illegal and aren't denied the right to work and your families can work to support your family and secure a future. But have you ever stopped TO THINK OF OTHERS! BEFORE YOU SPEAK YOUR SELFISH MINDS?


HOW BAD DO YOU THINK MY PEOPLE HAVE IT WHEN THEY WORRY THEMSELVES TO DEATH EVERYDAY BECAUSE THEY WANT TO WORK TO SUPPORT THEIR KIDS BUT THEY CANNOT!! AND THE WORST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT THERE ARE JOBS TO DO! THAT YES AMERICANS AREN'T FILLING!! I WOULDNT BE SAYING THIS IF I HADN'T SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES.

Should they stay illegal for the next 15 years, be given amnesty soon, or something in between that makes them legal but not a full citizen??? These are the real two choices unless you take the law into your own hands.

In 1845, Thomas L. Nichols a doctor, dietician, Social historian, and journalist argued that prejudices against immigrants are unfounded; he criticizes movements in the United States to restrict immigration:
“The right of a person to emigrate from one country to another is one which belongs to him by his own constitution and by every principle of justice. It is one which no law can alter, and no authorities destroy, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are set down, in our Declaration of Independence, as among the self evident, unalienable rights of a person.” (Williams 18)

With unemployment rates as high as 8% in many western countries is it economically worthwhile to allow immigrants with no skills in.
My opinion i that it is ridiculas to do so especially when no-skill immigrants from areas such as North Africa and the Middle East are statistically probable to commit crime and to simply milk the welfare systen

If you live in a poor country it is impossible to get a visa to live where you want... but if you are from a rich country you can travel whereever you want.

All the time Americans and Western Europeans move to poorer countries because it is cheaper for them..

But they complain when a Mexican wants to live and work in the USA to improve themselves.

Why it is not fair and double standards
