A Less Modest Proposition

Would it work? My prior blog "A Modest Proposal" gave a suggestion for how to absolutely STOP illegal immigration into this country: CRIMINALIZE HIRING ILLEGALS

So, I wondered, what would be the result of such an endeavor?

One of the frequent excuses heard for hiring illegals is "Legals won't do the work. If we had to pay full wages and provide benefits, our prices would have to go up and no-one would buy our product and we would go out of business."

Really?

Think it through.

If employers had to pay better wages and offer benefits, and there were no illegals to take the jobs, persons on welfare or otherwise unemployed might well take those jobs. This reduces the Foodstamp roll, reduces the unemployment rolls, and with the new health care insurance, reduces the Medicare rolls.

If there are no illegal aliens here taking jobs for bad pay, it also reduces the number of children in public school receiving free breakfast and lunch, it reduces the strain on the emergency rooms of persons without insurance, and reduces the population of some inner-city and slum areas.

In fact, as I see it, if there were NO illegal aliens here, more Americans could and would find work, putting more money into OUR economy, and leading to sufficient revenues THAT THERE COULD BE LEGITIMATE TAX CUTS BECAUSE MONIES WOULD NO LONGER BE SPENT SUPPORTING ILLEGALS!!

Something to think about.
