Illegal Immigration & The Mexcian Border

Over the years I have seen literally millions if not billions spent to try and stem the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico crossing it the U.S.  It is my opinion that this is a fruitless waste of time, energy, resources and  money that could be spent addressing and fixing the real issue.

Whether you want to hear it or not or recognize this to be the truth or not let's put it out their for all to recognize the truth!  The Mexicans are not stealing any jobs that we as Americans want or wish to perform.  Not since the Great Depression have Americans wanted jobs harvesting fruit or performing the hundreds of thousands of agricultural and menial labor jobs that the illegal immigrants fill.  Why not address the problem once and for all since they are not stealing are jobs why are you angry at them?  You are angry because when they come here they are not paying taxes and are costing border states  millions for things like medical expenses etc. So why not address the problem simply and smartly! 

Impose a national five to ten cent a pound tax on all produce and agricultural products and use that money to subsidize the states to recoup the expenses they lay out for these people utilizing the system. OMG you want to tax our food...! You evil monster!  Well simple fact is that your not going to stop purchasing grapes, oranges etc because of five cents more a lb. after all you have to eat and you certainly can afford two dollars more per person a week on groceries compared to you getting hit at the gas pump for $3.00 plus a gallon of gas.

Second create national work Visas that will be monitored by DHS and the Department of Agriculture that would allow for visas to be legally provided to companies to sponsor their help seasonally.  At the end of the season the help goes back home or moves on to another crop.  Impose significant taxes and penalties for companies for not paying a flat tax of  X dollars a week for every resident agricultural alien.  Again these taxes would offset if not eliminate all expenses states are presently complaining about.  Bottom line is that we need to eat, we are too fat and lazy to pick the crops ourselves and we need the jobs to be performed why not regulate the jobs and fix the problems with a minor tax that would remedy the present burden on the system!

Reality check not once has there been a terrorist since Pancho Villa that has crossed into this country from Mexico.  The threat has come from Canada where an alert Customs Official stopped two suspicious Muslim men who had a small thermonuclear device hidden in their vehicle.  Let's put our brave men and women to work stopping potential terrorist and drug smuggling and let's stop worrying about and bitching about those who without their help you would not be eating fruits, vegetables etc.  It is that simple a fix!
