A better alternative? Easy
#1 - Stop providing a social safety net or service to all illegal immigrants.
This includes welfare, food stamps, housing assistance, health care, education, etc.
#2 - Enforce current law regarding the employment of an "undocumented" worker. If an employer is caught with illegal employees - then pay the fines required by law, do jail time - and then try to run that same business... Basically - if you hire illegals - you end up losing your business - which I don't have a problem with since you are, as liberals point out - taking advantage of people. So lets do what is already law - and make the cost of that practice too high?
These two steps require no dead of night immigration forces busting down doors, no forced deportations. In addition, what you do is tell people they have 3 months before enforcement of these laws go into effect. That gives people enough time to make a decision and impliment it. For employers they have time to get new people trained, for the illegal employees, they have the opportunity to save a few bucks (vs sending it back to mexico as they do now) in preparation for their return to where they belong.
More legislation never fixed any real problem - these employment rules have been on the books for decades and never enforced. So someone tell me what the devil is wrong with doing this?
