That's exactly the point I made earlier in the thread. People often just assume that the grass is greener in America, but it is only because NAFTA and agricultural subsidies have destroyed the way of life of indigenous farmers. Modifying NAFTA and getting rid of subsidies would be a start in the right direction.

But what do we do with the millions of illegals already here? I propose we make it impossible for them to find gainful work by imposing such harsh penalties upon businesses that might hire them, that no business dares hire illegals. Further, those that perpetrate the trade of illegal/fake papers should be given prison sentences just shy of the death penalty.
