If all employers were allowed to ask employees for proof of legal status to be in the USA, or the employer would not be required to pay minimum wage, how would that effect illegal immigration?

Everyone is so emotional and opinionated about immigaration, that no one really read the question carefully. I will reword and try again.

In other words, put the burden on the illegals. Or the employer gets the upper hand. Ergo, why come here illegally if you do not get our, USA, minimum wage, that is supposed to be for USA citizens only?

Many ppl enjoy immigration so then rich housewives can pay the "help" less, Pool Cleaners, would be cheaper and pretty much any hard labor would be more affordable..Blame the ppl who emply the immigrants if you want to see a change...dont blame the immigrants themselves..because in reality unless you are native american..ur an immigrant 2 :)

Trash the idea of no requirement to pay minimum wage. That will never happen, because you will definitely get a revolution then. Minimum wage is a law, telling an employer that is what they must pay a worker, at the least. All employer's should be allowed to have proof of citizenship, however, this probably won't work to cut down illegal trespassing, since so many illegals steal American identities. The meat-packing company? Remember?

Employers should be and I think are required to have new employees sign a paper that states they are a US citizen or have legal status to work in this country. If the employers have that piece of paper they are more or less off the hook unless a pattern of ignoring the known illegal status can be established. As for the minimum wage I disagree. How about our minimum be the maximum that can be paid to "questionable" employees?

Employers are required now to check the status of the people they hire, and many times are fooled by the documents they are given, or just turn off the fact that they are not legal documents. Send the illegals back to where ever they came from and there would be no problem.

They will hire whoever takes the job. This is a free market to a certain extent. If employers offer $3 dollars/hr then who else will work for such a measly wage?
Blame big business not illegals.

How about we just deport the illegal immigrants and tell them if they are caught in this country again, they will be sentenced to death. That sure as heck would stop illegal immigration. This is a fair way to handle that situation because Mexico kills all of their illegal immigrants. How ironic, huh?

You're wrong. Mexico won't help the U.S. They think that we owe them everything and they don't have to work for anything. It's a fact. Look at history or look at the present. You're stupid for even thinking that.

Make mexico the 51st 52nd 53rd and as much as 58th state to inlclude Chihuaha, Mazatlan, Aculpulco, Tijuana, and phone Yucatan the large state of Jaguar. After that then we are able to make Canada and its territories the 59th sixtieth 61st upt to sixty fifth states to comprise manitoba, or perhaps Irkukst and Yakukst like interior the sport possibility. Then we'd nicely be a one worldwide u . s . a . and have one foreign places funds or perhaps one language, does no longer verbal substitute be greater handy. commerce might develop into greater handy and welfare may well be relaxing to handle. Why close the dang borders while we ourselves took this land already from the community inhabitants, who're we besides to declare we own this or we own that. If a organic catastrophe befell and all of us died what then what good is possession or factors while each little thing is laid desolate like the moon. I desire we could all basically be happy and share. because of the fact we've lots we'd desire to continuously share.

I am unclear as to your question. Current law states that employers are REQUIRED to ask now. They just don't do it or cry that it's too hard. It is ILLEGAL to hire an illegal alien criminal.
A min. wage wouldn't have any effect on illegal aliens since it is illegal to hire them. There is no such thing as an "illegal immigrant." Immigrants come here LEGALLY. Illegal alien criminals are the problem.

I think the question should be, Why do employers get to report Illegal wages for their advantage on their taxes?

well, they - the businesses - generate W2s every year and those are sent to the IRS. The IRS knows which businesses have people working on a fictitious number. They know who employs illegals and who does not. What do they do about it? Not much apparently. The employer makes the excuse that he was fooled...it's just a crazy situation.

It's a hard question to answer, but first, you have to make employers responsible for making sure they are citizens or have work visa's. Then, if you find an employer who works illegals, fine them big time.
There has to be a way to confirm someones status, then, punish those who wont or dont follow the law.
