Ok here goes.....
Create a guest worker program in which a citizen of Mexico or Central America can apply for a three year work permit in the United States (applying US labor laws of course, ie minnimum wage). After one year, he/she may bring family to live provided that all persons 18 and older either maintain employment or attend a school of some sort. For the people already here, give them one year to register with the program or leave. After that, anyone not registered is deported. A felony conviction leads to automatic deportation unless a judge says otherwise based on circumstances. People may apply for an additional two years after the three years are up. After that, they are given American citizenship if they can pass the test (already existin) and speak proficient English.

We already have a worker visa program but the big farms and slaughter houses are usually too impatient to wait for the bureaucracy ( and we all know that so many americans are just fighting to get those crop picking and slaughterhouse jobs)

I think that's too little, too late. There are already too many illegal aliens in the country to put that plan into effect. How would anyone be sure they register within the year? They are undocumented and we do not know where they are at. This will just cost America even more money. A good solution would be to stop providing free medical and schooling for people here unlawfully. Employers will need to stop hiring them, and landlords will have to stop renting to them. When they cannot receive the full benefits they desire, they will leave on their own. This would save America a fortune.

To keep all the illegals we currently have is too large a burden for our society to bear. If they would go back and apply legally then I wouldn't be terribly opposed, as long as they all wait their turn and don't think we can take them all at one time. Your solution, in part, makes some sense, but it needs to be fair to both sides. I also don't think they should be able to apply for their families to come until they are fully legal. It would also help if the ones who come here agree to be the hard workers they claim to be and give up any 'rights' to government assistance at least until they become legal.

How about this option: Maybe they should take turns working here for a year each and then go back so that another can come to improve his family's life. The way you put it makes it sound like we need to make a way for all Mexicans (or anyone else) to become citizens if they choose. That isn't possible.

What we would desire to do isn't deport them, a minimum of no longer in the initiating. we would desire to construct exertions camps. while an unlawful is caught, they're taken to this camp and placed to artwork, making something which could be bought to the yank public at great. mutually as they're working at this camp, their hourly income are saved song of and the unlawful immigrant might basically obtain a small volume of this. None may be allowed to be despatched returned to families in different worldwide places. they'd basically save sufficient to pay for paper, pencils envelopes, stamps, nutrition, etc. the money that they do no longer obtain would desire to be put in an account and held until eventually they have amassed sufficient to pay for any and all value linked with their stay on the camp and any and all value incurred via deporting them. each and each successive time that an unlawful is caught, their pay interior the camp may be decrease in 0.5 or 1 / 4, so it would recommend that they'd desire to artwork longer and longer each and every time. If an unlawful immigrant knew that they'd in all danger lose 3 - 4 years of their existence working for no longer something, i do no longer think of they may be so rapid to % to come again right here. in the event that they knew that as quickly as they tried to come again returned, they may be dealing with two times as long interior the camp, it would deter them from returning. on the comparable time, those camps might get rid of maximum value linked with rounding up and deporting illegals. difficulty solved.

How about we start developing jobs in Mexico and central america instead, where they're most needed? That'll save on the commute, and extortion fees and prison time.

I think immigration should be frozen at 100,000 people a year, for the next 10 years, in conjunction with the construction of the US/Mexico border fence. Employers who've been getting by with hiring illegals deliberately, in full breach of US labor law, need to be fined, and if need be, put out of business. It's really that simple.

Mexico needs economic growth. The central american countries need economic growth. Both need this growth to support their citizens in their domestic economy. So, both areas need to pave the road to welcome business, stop crime, and build their infrastructure up. The sooner that businesses feel confident that they won't be robbed or pillaged, kidnapped, or even killed in exchange for trying to set up shop in Mexico, the sooner they will move there. Or, OR, Mexicans could start their own businesses and do for themselves. Get the communists out of the schools there, and start teaching needed skills to help the whole country.
Do all of that, and Mexico will be 21st century in NO time, I think...
Mexico etc. need full-fledged reform. And, we need a border.

Their services may not be as valuable to employers if they have to put them on the books, pay them fair wages, start withholding taxes and pay workman's comp. insurance on them.

Your ideas are fine, but I stand by the belief that we need to eliminate the need for outside labor in this country by putting all of the able bodied Americans to work in their places.

Nope, the jobs should go to American citizens.

ABSOLUTELY NOT I don't like your so called solution. It is not a solution at all!

That solution will create mass chaos and disruption in every American life in America.

The REAL solution is DEPORTATION and come back LEGALLY!!!

I like it. But I believe we already have a good system and we are not enforcing it.
