Seriously.
Ready?
1. Mandatory Jail time - not fines - for any CEO who hires undocumented workers.
2. Guaranteed minimum wage, NOT paid in cash, for ALL employees of any mid-to-large company.
That's really all there is to it.
Thoughts?
If I have to spell it out:
- Jailtime for CEO's, will make them police their companies from within - and far harder than with any fines, 'cause otherwise they could just deduct fines from their profits.
- If companies can't hire cheaper than minimum wage, those job openings will dry up.
- If the jobs dry up, immigrants will have far less incentive to run the many risks
- Oh, and as an added bonus it will increase employment for US citizens too.
The only reason this step hasn't been taken is that corporations want that sweet cheap labor. So all we have to do is stop listening to them, and do what's right.
I can has pundit job now? Oh wait, I have to be more vague and nonsensical, don't I? Damn, I'm just no good at that.
