Now tying this all back to where I began two posts ago, illegal immigration, allowing people into this country to take the jobs that Americans don’t want. The CIA world fact book states that in 2006, 4.8% of Americans were unemployed and numbers from 2004 state that 12% of the population was below the poverty line (both numbers were the most recent ones offered). With automation being the way of the future for this country just as animals and simple machines replaced human labor in the time of our ancestors those numbers have no where to go but up. While this country should continue to allow legal immigrants it should make strict standards for who is allowed such as educated people and those in a sustainable financial situation. As more Americans are willing to take any job they can get before turning to the option of emigration in search of new work the jobs that are currently held by illegal immigrants will become in demand for legal residents.
My solution to the illegal immigration problem is simple require all companies to file a request for employment application with the federal government when ever they hire new workers. If the records of an employee do not check out they are black listed and their employment terminated. Any company that hires or maintains employment of a black listed person or does not file the proper paper work is hit with a massive fine. The government wouldn’t even have to worry about the cost of deporting these people. By taking away all possible avenues of employment they will be forced to leave because they will not be able to afford the cost of living here. Eventually the word of mouth about there being no jobs in America will get around and people will stop coming.
