Let's Continue the Discussion....hope it's cool with you!

Immigration is a tough topic. I will try to organize some of my thoughts..

We cannot just remove 12 million people.
This would be a nightmare both politically and administratively. The federal government would need to hire hundreds of thousands of workers to handle this issue. Never mind each would want a jury trial….what, you say no jury trial….why not…many in the country think we need to give POW’s (yes I said POWs) at Gitmo a trial….anyway back on track. Anyone who thinks this is possible….sit back and really give it some thought…..no way.

Given two assumptions:
We cannot send them back
We could possibly stop new ones from coming in

I say we:

Give them all 120-180 days to register. They will need to do it electronically on a website….no way we could do it any other way. It would take an army of government workers administering it….think department of Motor Vehicles and getting your license….OMG Forget it. Once registered they would need to come to a center for a picture and finger prints. Hold on ACLU…..They are illegally here.

Now let’s get them paying taxes. No payeeeeee…then off to the pokey….period.

We need to fine and arrest employers that do not take precautions to ensure their workers are legal. How do we do that…..two ways…thousands of employers hire illegals. Find them and arrest the owners. Now you say….but wait Billy told me he was legal and gave me a ss#....yeah, but the IRS sent you a notice a year later to tell you that the ss# was invalid….what did you do with that information…..ooops…off to the pokey.
This will be painful at first…but remember the lady who got jammed up with the record companies by downloading free mp3’s….illegal downloading has since become less popular and paid sites such as itunes are flourishing……Tough Love Baby

OK the fingers are getting tired. Come back tomorrow to hear me once again jump upon the soap box.

Tech tip for the day…..change your passwords. NEVER EVER use your paypal password for anything else….NEVER. Any on-line banking….same thing. It’s a pain…. I know but it’s important. We are constantly making sure that the king of patch cables site is very secure.……now there….go change your password.
