Illegal Immigration Watch: Crackdown Will Hurt California?
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.

Kalifornia has already become part of their “reconquista”…the question is what will we have to do to get it back AND if it’s worth taking back.
Maybe we should allow the wild-eyed liberals to taste reality for awhile.

Should the border become secure and the federal government enforce the law agaisnt illegal alien hiring employers it will begin the out migration of illegal aliens.
California agricultural who have been dependent for decades on cheap Mexican farm workers will have to devise ways to harvest their crops without them.
Service industries will have to increase wages for American workers.
The costs will still be cheaper than the hidden and subsidized costs of illegal immigration.
