The economic realities of the amnesty plan proposed by GWB need to be more widely disseminated. The plan effectively turn the US labor market in a world-wide labor market. Every American worker would be competing with any other person in the world with the ability to travel here and interview against them. Such a massive pool of labor would inevitably lead to wage deflation even in higher-paying white collar jobs.
No other country would be doing this, so why should the US turn itself into an economic experiment and labor side-show because enforcing the law is difficult?
