@Silverchild79,
I think this is bad
While I would prefer a bill without amnesty I also realize that playing hide and go seek with 20 million people is a joke and actually attempting that would cost far to much tax money.
I believe this died simply because it would kill cheap illegal labor and those who do the hiring and have the money want labor they can get below minimum wage. Not only should we be raiding businesses for illegals we should be arresting anyone hiring them and go as far up the chain as the corruption goes.
My other big concern is how having 20million new social security recipients will effect our system. Social Security cannot sustain itself at the current rate, with 20 million people claiming against it your shooting holes in a slow sinking ship.
The obvious solution to this would be to put private accounts into social security, but unfortunate personal responsibility for retirement is still seen as "unfair" in America...
