Illegal Immigration Watch: Crackdown Will Hurt California?
Posted by Flap in Illegal Immigration
A migrant tries to cross into the U.S. from the Mexican border town of Ciudad Juarez, under the bridge that connects the border city with El Paso March 6, 2006. The Bush administration said on Friday it would increase scrutiny and impose heftier fines on U.S. businesses that employ illegal immigrants as it sought to step up enforcement despite Congress’s failure to reform immigration laws.
Will a crackdown on California employers hurt the California economy?
California business is sure whining about it.
Market forces will correct for the inefficiencies of the illegal underground economy that is persuasive throughout California’s agricultural and service industries. This may take some time. But is the current system acceptable?
A crackdown for employers and border security measures (so illegal aliens cannot easily return or return at all) would initiate a self-deportation mechanism – hence saving the public billions in public welfare, infrastructure and education costs.
Build the fence, secure the border, crackdown on the illegal hires, and then we can talk about a Guest Worker Program if American business is strapped for employees.
Flap’s guess is that business will mechanize and make other adjustments when they no longer have a ready supply of illegal CHEAP labor subsidized by the American public.
