You may have read recently where a raid on a food-packaging plant in Iowa, my home state, turned up 800 illegal-immigrant workers. The next day following the termination of employment of these workers, the plant was beseiged by thousands of legal Iowa residents seeking the now vacant jobs.
Statements to the effect that the 12-20 million illegal immigrant workers now in this Country aid our economy by filling jobs that Americans do not want are untruthful. Employers benefit by hiring illegals at lower, poverty-level, wages and can therefore increase corporate profits while the American taxpayer picks up the tab for the education of their children and healthcare for their families.
I like Riogrande’s “500% excise tax” and agree that the best and quickest way to deal with illegal immigration is to severely punish those that would employ them.
And then we would know that if there are still illegals coming in, they’re sure not here for the American dream…..
Then we would know that the immigrants who were here came legally in compliance with current immigration laws. We would also know that the rate of migration would be controlled and at an economically feasible level for this Country. We wouldn’t want immigrants contributing to an American nightmare as many Cities and States are already experiencing.
