I don't understand how a state could even give them a driver's license but since some states have what not use that as a database and pick them up ?
I can't say much about some of them who honestly came here looking to improve themselves and I wonder how many of the undocumented here are "undesirable " . I'd like to know the percentage of undocumented who are or have committed crimes other than being here illegally ?
I also think we need to curb the use of h1b1 visas and raise the salary threshold to an inflation adjusted index to move the program back to what it was supposed to be . Also adjust it for the geographic location of the employer . So companies in location with a high cost of living can't use that to offset the reason they can't hire anyone in the first place is that they are under paying for the labor market .Bringing the super talented and gifted to fill positions that there were no more qualified us workers . Not an endless pool to draw upon for big companies to reduce their payroll by importing workers who work for less . There are 100,000s of these employees here who have overstayed their visas and are still working for the companies that hired them and more importantly sponsored their stay. That leave those employers in a direct contrition of what they pledged to do as a sponsor .
My solution there is to force the sponsors to pay for rounding up and deporting those workers . Establish a set cost say 1mil each . Make the companies pay for each one that over stays their visa . Now apply that same thought to the season workers who come over also . If we don't start with the companies that employ them then why even bother ?
If we immediately deported that sector it would put t a temporary vaccum for those jobs until the jobs were forced to either;
A pony up the salary to get US workers ,
B, go out of business,
C, adapt ,
D export the jobs ,
D is the only one that hurts the US if you look at it from just the loss of the h1b1 visa holder but most of the time you remove a LARGE I migrant family who ride over on a "free" visa that comes with the H1B1 visa being approved . It's the immediate family also , and the definition of immediate is fairly broad . Now you have a family of say mother, father , 4 children ,one sister in law and her 2 children .and maybe even a set of grandparents .none of whom are issued a visa allowing them to work except maybe the spouse or older children. . Now you have a family of 11 living on a salary of say 55,000 .
That is where the US taxpayer comes in and all 11 get free heath care . How much are we the taxpayers subsidizingthese companies? 11people receiving some kind of assistance old be millions . The basic family unit mom pop and 4 kids now fall under the federal poverty guidelines . In states that expanded medicare they are covered .
Let's say mom pops out child 5 premature. Bam new citizen and a 1 million dollar hospital bill paid by the taxpayer for the premature child and an anchor baby for the parents . Same for the unmarried sister who gets knocked up by the tweaker down the street and becomes a meth addict. All cost now picked up by the us government when the sponsor has pledged to be responsible for the worker .
