The Immigration Saga
The immigration issues in the United States are just plain ridiculous and neither the Republicans nor the Democrats want to upset the Mexican "voting" population enough to fix the problems.
The Senate has come up with a nearly 400 page document that is being labeled "immigration reform." To me it is a joke. I can come up with a bill in less than five minutes that would solve the immigration problem once and for all. Before you ask, the answer is yes, yes it will piss everybody off.
We need to link legal immigration with illegal immigration. We need to start charging the Mexican government $5,000 dollars for each illegal immigrant that we have to send back to Mexico. If Mexico refuses to pay this fine, we will not allow any legal immigration from Mexico. Once Mexico pays the fines, we will resume legal immigration with their country.
Mexico needs to be billed for any costs associated with crimes committed by illegal Mexican immigrants. If this is not paid by their government, we will add tariffs to their imports to satisfy this debt.
We need to impost minimum wages and large fines so that American businesses are forced to pay all employees fair wages. If we end the business benefit of slave wages for immigrants, there will be no benefit associated with hiring illegals. This will reduce the demand for cheap, illegal labor. It will also help honest American businesses compete with these companies that are currently benefiting from illegal labor.
We also need to build fences between Mexico and America, but only where it does not have an environmental impact on endangered species and habitats. The fines levied against the Mexican government will be used to hire more border patrol agents to ensure a secure border.
I think these steps listed above will go a long way towards sealing our southern border and would require giving absolutely no one amnesty. The fact that Mexico would have to start paying for their citizens crimes would also help us to protect our border better without American taxpayers footing the entire bill.
