Thread: The Free-Market Answer to Illegal Immigration

My son was working through a private employment agency in GA for temp work. Over time, the agency employees, thenselves, became all Hispanics. My son and his friends seldom got work as it was parcelled out by the agency to people of Hispanic origin.

Give me a break!!!!!!!

We lose a little more of our country every day and it is American employers who are giving it away......

Helen Krieble's absurd Red Card "Temporary" Workers "Solution"

Helen Krieble - president of the Vernon K. Krieble Foundation, an heir to the Loctite fortune, and an associate of Dick Armey - has been pushing her own guest workers plan for a few years. Now, apparently she wants to give it yet another try and has come out with the "Red Card" scheme, which is similar to the plan offered a few years ago by Mike Pence. In a word, her plan is absurd: it's divorced from our present reality, completely failing to take into account all the things that could and would go wrong. And, depending on the exact details, the plan may have a strong aspect of immorality, building up a possibly multi-generational serf class since - at least as planned - our "guests" would never be able to become U.S. citizens. Many of the ways her plan is wrong are discussed below, but even more could be said.
Under her plan, foreign citizens who want a "red card" would apply in their home countries and then [1]:

Job applicants are matched to current, unfilled U.S. jobs; temporary, non-immigrant workers fill a specific job for a specific time and may return home when the job ends.

Bolding added. There would probably be even more abuse of this program than there is of the H1B program, where employers magically are unable to locate American workers to fill jobs. The US Chamber of Commerce and their friends would lobby (or similar) any politicians who looked into those abuses. The use of "may" is particularly interesting. A Bush "guest workers" proposal sought to enact a penalty on those workers who left a job before their time was up; is that how she means "may"? Or, does she mean that at the end of the job they can choose to remain here? If so, are they really "guests"? Could they remain here in the U.S. as "temporary" workers year after year and even decade after decade?

Kreible also seems to have forgotten about the fact that people tend to have children. In the case of "guests", those children would be U.S. citizens. That would create even more mixed-status families than we have now. The far-left, the Democrats, the mainstream media, and on down the line are constantly advocating to give citizenship or other benefits to the illegal alien members of such families. If such a program were enacted, those groups would work night and day to get those "temporary" workers on the "path to citizenship". Asking Helen Kreibel or one of her proxies about all of that - and getting it on video - would be a great public service (see the Tamar Jacoby entry).

And, of course, how are we going to deport "guests" who don't want to leave? Krible's solution isn't much of a solution:

Permits are in “smart cardâ€

ELE, by renaming the Dream Act to the "American Dream Act," do these lawmakers actually think that this makes it more palatable and acceptable to the American public? Pathway to citizenship for millions and their relatives is just that, no matter what the title of the bill.
