"Even if we cut off legal means to earn a living, illegals would simply join the underground economy, just like millions are already doing now."

A federal law making it a crime to employ an illegal shouldn't, and I expect wouldn't have any exemption for those who employ people by paying them "under the table."

Federal prison time would be a pretty discouraging threat to someone who is trying to save a few bucks an hour by hiring an illegal over paying a US citizen.

But certainly, if making it a crime to work as an illegal would get the illegals to leave the US, I'd be an advocate of that, too. My fear is that such a law would turn US penitentiaries into housing facilities for millions of illegals and become an expense we can't handle.

Maybe, instead of jailing them, we could find another form of punishment that would be more intimidating...

mmmmm, I have an idea. maybe if we quit feeding and providing for Americans who do not want to work they may magically become willing to do the "jobs Americans will not do". This would drastically lessen the influx of illegals, just a thought.

Bye all, I must go to work now.

A thought ~ (brought this up yesterday but no one bit on it) ~ we probably need a very large "holding tank" for the millions of illegals. There are some adjacent Mexican states that are not as populated as they could be.

A couple of divisions could move in and take them in a day or two.

Once we acquired control of those portions of Mexico, it would certainly be fair to dump all the illegals there.

We probably ought to seize their Gulf oil fields too to help us defray the costs of all of this.
