Illegal immigration

It is quite clear that we will not likely see much in the way of immigration reform under this administration. What we need to do is enforce the laws that we already have on the books. We need to arrest and fine employers who hire the illegals. The argument, the past, has been that we needed to keep labor costs down, partucularly in agriculture, to maintain inexpensive food. That argument no longer is applicable. I believe that there are 3 groups of people that could fill these manual labor positions. They are as follows:
1. Those receiving unmeployment compensation after losing their jobs.
2. Welfare recipients.
3. Prisoners.

In each case, the employers could reimburse the respective agencies at the same rate they would have paid the illegals. The net result would be fewer illegals and partial financing for unemployment agencies, welfare departments and the prison syste. Our taxes would be reduced and there would be no inflation in the prices we pay for food.
