Who said it, when and why is this very important
OVM,
I can find only a few reasons to use imported labor for agriculture, much of agriculture can be mechanized without too much difficulty – seeing that we are the country that put a few people on the moon.
But as you said; “I thinks they'll have to close off the southern border and start deportations say 20-30,000 at a time and have special processors at border points to speed up the process...It took years to get to this point and it'll take years to start cleaning it up.â€
Your comment illustrates one assumed problem that a lot of people have, that the clean up will take years – nope, it won’t.
Here is how it can be solved;
The first thing is to close the border (as I posted here and other places). What I mean is to take one half mile along the entire Mexican border to make a no man’s land. Strip everything along that border of every building, farm and what ever, our country is more important than anything else. Use the newly unlimited court decision to seize property for development to make this happen.
Then build a real wall, not a wimpy wall, but a real wall 10 to 15 feet high two to three feet thick - solid no breaks. If we can build the interstates, leveling the small amount of land to build a real wall should not be difficult.
Behind the wall about 150 to 200 feet put barriers down 20 or 30 feet below the surface with seismic sensors. If they discover someone tunneling, drill holes near the where the sensor picked up the activity and drop one stick of dynamite down the hole and set it off.
Then arm that barrier. Shoot to kill policy. If someone shoots at the border on the Mexican side – shoot back.
The second thing is to solve this problem is to enforce the laws. In addition, take a position that companies like Tyson and Dole who openly hire invaders, the corporate officers need to be prosecuted under the RICO act, mainly under the provision of fraud (identity theft), money laundering, tax evasion and racketeering (indirectly supporting and working with organized crime to commit a crime by hiring the people who have invaded), oh and slavery.
But as draconian this may sound, it is a mild start. Do this a couple times, get some convictions and Dole and Tyson and other major corporations will do due diligence within their hire practices.
I think that if you as an owner of a business does not check the status of any employee and you hire an invader, you lose your business – no exceptions. The government takes it and liquidates the assets while you are still liable for the debt. If this sounds unnfair, where does it say life is fair? And beside the government does this a lot, the IRS and EPA both take and close businesses. The EPA also has really horrible laws that killed off a lot of businesses, but supporting an invasion of aa country is different and worst than tax crimes.
All of this puts the responsibility back on the very people who directly and indirectly benefit trafficking in this form of slavery, which it truly is when you come down to it. This will dry up the jobs that these people come here for and force them and the companies to go through the legal system for the benefit of the country as a whole.
We spend a lot more money on the prosecution of former NAZIs than we do going after companies who hire people who have invaded our country. Our justice department made NAZI hunting a priority, disgusting isn’t it?
Right now I am listening to the president and got to say he needs to quite with the pandering of the Hispanic voter and start doing his constitutional responsibility by enforcing the laws we have. He claims that it needed to have immigration reform, so I feel we really need to repeal the Immigration Act of 1965 and all others that followed and start look at immigrants as a benefit to the country not a benefit to the immigrant. We need to eliminate this idea that we need cheap and uneducated labor for the country to function while at the same time becoming a third world country due to the lack of real educated populous. That is the right immigration reform we need.
