If a study of our immigration needs found that we need 75% of the illegals here, what should our policy be?

Question

It's been said the illegals are taking jobs we won't do. If we truly need millions of legal immigrants to support our economy, how would you proceed in opening up the process?

I don't approve of illegal immigration, but it is most likely a problem we have put upon ourselves with decades of lax enforcement of the law. How do we turn it around and do it better?

Answer 1

"It's been said the illegals are taking jobs we won't do."

This has got to be the single most bogus excuse for supporting an amnesty program there is. If they would finish the statement the truth would destroy their whole argument.

The illegals are taking jobs we won't do AT SLAVE WAGES! If the producers would pay honest, livable, wages they'd have no problems finding legal workers. They want a lax immigration enforcement policy because it allows them to pay substandard wages and pocket more profit.

Greed, plain and simple.

So, to answer the base question, a honest study would not find we need 75% of the illegals so our policy should be to enforce the laws and protect our borders. Since that would have the end effect of forcing the producers to offer fair wages in order to remain in business AMERICAN workers and LEGAL immigrants would benefit. Imagine that, our government actually doing something to benefit to benefit the ordinary citizen . . . .
