If they are working under the table, then they are officialy not employed and must return to Mexico. Of course, enforcement is the key.
"Of course, enforcement is the key."
BINGO. Thats my point. Without a rational, well thought out approach to these issues, we merely solve one set of problems only to create another set.
Enforcement is the elephant in the living room for EVERY immigration issue.
This is why the approach needs to be part of an approach which limits the problem at the source...ie...the border itself.
And the final piece of the puzzle is the penalties imposed on American companies who violate the law. What penalties are prescribed in the various guest worker plans...Bushs and Tancredo's, for example.
They won't return to Mexico, of course. Enforcement? The enforcement will resemble the current enforcement of immigration laws, nil.
With an estimated 15 million illegal aliens already here, and with some states going broke trying to support them, and with the knowledge that millions more will come to get in on the freebies, who will pay the bills? American taxpayers?
Will we have more of our hospitals closed? Will Americans have to build new schools? Will our welfare system go belly up? Will Americans have to build new prisons to house our guests? Gee, maybe we can send the bills to Vicente Fox, he'll be sure to write a check to cover it. If you live in a border state you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, it's coming to your state soon.
