Would this immigration idea work?

All of the illegal immigrants that have a job can stay If they can find someone on welfare that they can send to Mexico. Kind of like a swap out between the US and Mexico.

We should just send them all back to Mexico, secure the border and shoot any that try to cross illegally, and make them use the legal way of entering the country like everyone else

sounds like a plan to me. while we are at it, bring the troops home to guard the border.

Damn, you mean you actually want to enforce immigration law? What a novel idea.

Good idea if you want to destroy the economy

I am sick of hearing this arguement. How about you back this up with proof on the damage it would cause?

Good luck rounding them all up

if we just shot the douchebags like you there'd be plenty of room here for the people you want to send to Mexico regardless of where they actually came from.

$5 a scalp... call it an economic stimulus for those willing to do their civil duty!

I wonder sometimes why we have laws in this country when we have such selective enforcement.

Just got back from Big Bend National Park.
Ever seen the Rio Grande out there?
"secure the border" Anyone with a small boat can easily cross - heck when I went out there ~15 years we walked across the river.

To be honest, I have a hard time blaming the illegals. They are literally terrified of being slaughtered by the cartels.

They also have shite jobs - when they can find them. $10/day is a pretty common pay for construction work, for instance.

Yep.
Not saying Im ok with illegal immigration, but I sympathize with them. If I feared for my families life every second of every day and couldnt feed them, a border isnt stopping me.

These immigrants grease the economy – they expand the productivity of the labor market, increase the US’s comparative advantage in the market, lower prices, while at the same time increasing demand. To remove them would have far reaching consequences.

Restrict trade and cries of protectionism resound. Suggest linking labor standards to trade and it's protectionism in disguise. Limit capital flows and the International Monetary Fund is on your back. But restrict people flows? That's just an accepted exercise of national sovereignty! During the last few decades, when most countries reduced barriers to trade in goods and services and liberalized financial capital markets, most also sought to limit immigration. - Richard Freeman

Daniel Griswold Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement Committee

Consider the agricultural sector, in which an estimated 800,000 to 1 million undocumented immigrants work each year to harvest American crops. Does anybody seriously believe that if we could deport every one of those workers tomorrow, that a sufficient number of American workers would line up to take their place? It’s safe to say most of those jobs would go unfilled. If wages were hiked significantly, many of those jobs would simply disappear, most likely to be replaced by imported farm goods grown and harvested in other countries. Without immigrant workers, the most likely scenario is that we would simply produce less agricultural output as a nation. This would mean not only a direct loss of manual, on-the-farm jobs but a ripple effect of job losses in upstream and downstream sectors such as management, processing, packaging, distribution, and marketing. According to estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are 3.1 related jobs off the farm for every job on the farm. Eliminating the on-farm jobs would put at risk many more jobs paying middle-class wages and employing native-born American workers.
