U.S. Immigrants To Boycott on May 1st

We need some sort of document or ID which is more difficult to counterfit. Currently there are hordes of fake documents floating around and they're sold all over the place. If we had something which was more difficult to counterfit and which employers could check an online database against the document number then it would be extremely difficult to successfully fake. Employers would no longer be able to hire people they know are using fake documents and still have the plausable deniability they currently use; i.e. "I thought his fake document was real".

Everyone would know if documents were real or not and employers could get slapped with huge fines for knowingly breaking the law.

Yes, exactly.

You didn't see that one coming did you?

The P-51 has a way of sneaking up on you just as you are running low on fuel.

To get back in after you leave the country?

Passports are voluntary.

Jerry found that out much to his chagrin didn't he?

Why would "our" economy take a big hit? We'd simply replace illegal immigrant employees with legal guest workers.

You think we would replace 12 million people that quickly? Construction and farming would take major hits.

Legal workers will be able to demand and receive better treatment and wages in the long run in comparison to illegals.

Americans and the undocumented don't compete for the same type of jobs. It's not that Americans won't do the same work for the same wages, it's that Americans won't do that type of work at all. In Florida, when they can't find migrants to do the work, some farms have resorted to kidnapping homeless people and enslaving them.

A sizeable portion (~ 1/3 ) of homeless people are psychotic. I find it difficult to beleive that anyone could get useful work out of a bunch of schizophrenics.

Che, I can't believe you support Bush on this point. The truth is that we Americans are addicted to "cheap" labor. Period. It has nothing to do with what "kind" of work is involved.

So long as we can get away with it, we will continue to hire the best and cheapest laborers around, and pay them off-the-books as well. Immigration is about "money."

True. But America is so culturally diverse that this cannot be a major factor. It is a major factor in Asia or Europe.

BTW, we could solve the "illegal" problem quickly if we provided a bounty to snitches that could be paid for by fines on those employing illegals.

You actually believe that people are against immigration because immigrants are breaking the law. You're still cute Ned.
