Is it a surprise that our system makes it far more likely to let an illegal immigrant work in the US than to misidentify a legal worker as an illegal immigrant?
Politicians (both left and right) really don’t want to create a system to keep out illegal immigrants from our work force. The right wants cheap (and hard-working) labor and the left wants to expand their voter block. Keep in mind that I think these workers are willing to work jobs that our average American-born shies away from (in other words he does not show up for the tough and dirty jobs).
But this is not rocket science. We need to simply create a national identity card that includes biometrics, and finger prints and we could actually manage who is working in America and who is not working here. After all we did send men to the moon. We need to allow guest workers in this country, but until they become legal citizens I don’t want them voting, protesting (if you don’t like it go home) or getting government-paid health care. Nobody wants big brother tracking where we work, but guess what? Big Brother already knows where we work. So we might as well get the benefits of actually managing and tracking who is entitled to work here and who needs to go home.
