One must wonder how is it you can respond directly to his post when you
didn't get it.

Only the Shadow knows!

in my youth.

You mean, hiring illegals for your handyman for hire projects.

Reading comprehension problem again? Old age hit you. Nope, I worked in a
place building pallets and shipping cases during part of my high school
years. And part of the employees were Braceros. We need to bring back the
program of work permits. Would end the illegal immigration problem
immediately. You get without a work permit, we deport you and keep all your
stuff you had here. And you never get a work permit.

Worked in the pallet yard at IH for a while. Stacking and sorting
pallets. Caused me to start smoking MJ. Never finished the dime bag
I bought from a guy there, because I got transferred out.
Pallets can lead to drugs.
Those work permit programs are there. The gov doesn't want to enforce
them. Cheap labor. The other side is touchy feely.
A country without borders and law isn't a country.

But the work permits are not for the low end labor. Those H-1 visas are for
educated people.

Don't know all the details. I recall Lou Dobbs saying the gov has had
a zillion programs for decades, including farm labor, but I don't
trust him 100%.
What I do remember is that back in the '60's and '70's INS was raiding
factories in Chicago when they got wind of illegals working there.
Mexicans and Poles mostly, from what I remember.
It's gonna cost to do that, because you need the enforcement guys.
That's another problem, nobody wants to pay. Deadbeats.
In the insurance industry one investigator making 60k can save
hundreds of k's in bogus claims.
Same with the IRS.
It's a simple problem to solve on the enforcement end. The human end
gets real tricky with divided families and all.
****ing mess. Brought to you by Wall Street, Reagan, Clinton and
Bushes'.
