Immigration Problems and a Viable Solution

Immigration Problems and a Viable Solution

In my opinion we should give documentation to everyone who enters into the United States illegally. They should have the right to obtain Drivers License, Tax Identification Number, and the right to work. If labor is cheaper in the United States we do not have to send our companies to China. We can make labor cheaper with enough workers who would accept to receive minimal wages. If we allow our immigrants to work in sub jobs (non-qualified), we will decrease the price of labor. Americans will be able to have living in sitters for their kids without paying exorbitant fees. Everything non-citizen will be controlled by the Home Land Security.

Immigrants will have the rights to travel in and out of the country to visit their families.

---------  THE PROCESS

Start by authorizing immigrants to register with Home Land Securities through the Department of Motor Vehicles. An Identification Number will be issued which will be the main identification. From that moment an immigrant is allowed to open a bank account, apply for positions and do works that we are today paying other countries to do.

In other posts I mentioned about legalization of drugs, gay marriage and other topics of general interest. This time I want to talk about Immigration. After reading this post, please read about poverty.

We cannot, one hand talk about human rights while with the other depriving people of moving on their own will. We have food and land to accommodate everyone in this earth, and we need to control it better. I am not saying that America now has the capability to accept new immigrants, but that America must start a process of documenting everyone.

A Fee of $ 2,000.00 per person to obtain the rights to stay in the country, paid to the Home Land Security, which will include finger prints, pictures, medical exam etc. will be charged from each family or individual. This is a right that one needs to purchase to stay and be registered.

Once registered, any Americans can hire these residents to perform any types of works. Farms, plantations, strawberry fields, egg farms, etc.  This will help farmers to retain more profit, and at the same time help financially a family that came from poverty from other places in America.  Each resident will submit his or hers qualification to the department of labor, to participate the employment data-base.

It is necessary to open a seat into the United States Congress for a representative of temporary residents, which today we have approximately 10 million people living illegally in the United States. These people are being exploited by their employers and no taxes have been collected from either one of them.

Today we are facing a difficult challenge of controlling our borders and building fences etc, to stop immigration.  Yet, it is clear that every year we have a flock of immigrants entering into the United States to stay here illegally. Arizona and other States have passed laws giving to the police rights to stop any suspicious person (profiling), and check for documents. Other states will follow. It is a waste of money, considering that America is getting nothing from it.

If we document everyone we can have a better control of the population. If we don’t, people will continue staying illegally in America. A Different approach that makes sense is necessary in here. It makes sense to give them jobs, to set a minimal wage, tax them appropriately.

Today, illegal immigrants have it very hard. They move into places by the dozens, and make money enough survive, but they share shelter and food. America is not profiting from it, for we are exporting our factories over-seas for cheaper labor, ignoring that we have it here. We just need to place them properly. Some of them are suffering for not being able to relocate. It is terrible for them right now!

I believe that America will be able to plant all crops inland, instead of purchasing from other countries, with a price that is accessible to everyone. We just need to focus on how to take monetary advantage of every situation that appear, and turn into gold the labor that is trying to come to America. Very soon all houses will be occupied, and a prosperous America will keep on humming. This is a viable solution because it makes sense.
