Furthermore, to avoid a disaster like that of the 1986 reform (the lack of flexibility to adjust the flow of immigrants), the idea of creating a permanent migratory agency or commission is very fashionable in Washington. It wouldn't be more bureaucracy to serve the immigrant or to build walls in the desert, but rather an expert body that studies the economic reality and the labor needs of the country to constantly adjust the legal migratory flow. A report published in May by the Migration Policy Institute in Washington proposes the Standing Commission on Labor Markets, Economic Competitiveness and Immigration as part of the coming reform. If the Federal Reserve controls, independently of any political pressure, the flow of capital in the economy, the idea is to create an institution that watches over the labor supply, independently of legislative pressure.As far as when the reform will come around, it looks decreasingly likely that it will be this year. I'm still not sure that it's better than even money in Obama's first term, unfortunately.
Maybe it won't be this year, but when Congress considers an immigration reform that liberates millions of Mexican workers from the shadows in which they live today, it will be indispensable that the new system adheres to market forces. Otherwise, in a decade or two Washington will again be debating a new amnesty, and everyone will ask why Obama's wasn't the last one.
Update: I forgot to include the metaphor that I want to retire: can we stop referring to undocumented immigrants as being "in the shadows"? Please? It's so painfully trite, and has been for some ten years. How about, Under the rocks? Behind the curtains? Skulking dangerously about the margins--OK maybe that last one doesn't work so well.

Not identifying E-Verify as the perfect tool to extract illegal immigrants from the workplace, doesn't wash with the American worker anymore? The once great US Chamber of Commerce, compliant with the ACLU, and other anti-sovereignty factions, have pushed our soft politicians to null E-Verify. Sen. Harry Reid(D-NV), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have lost a great deal of public loyalty, because between them, they manufactured excuses to undermine any new law that enforced our weak immigration laws? Chief of Homeland Security is Napolitano who joined the other pathetic Senators, to stealthily direct ICE not to implement large immigration raids anymore. This has also been noticed by the public audience in the months since inheriting the office from Chertoff. By no means are these the legislators who are stating they are supporting E-Verify, or any other immigration law, but in actual fact voting against it.
Their attitude shows up distinctly when they keep voting E-Verify being delayed for Federal contractors who of all people should be using it. It displays their complete apathetic when politicians allow 300.000 illegal workers, making use of Stimulus money in the construction industry. The 1986 Immigration Act has never been enforced, it has always been fully jeopardized and now the politicians want to replace it, by enacting another AMNESTY. Amendments to the 1986 Simpson/Mazzoli bill is all that's required to add strength, to our border security and internal enforcement.
Even any new health care for the American people is compromised by the illegal alien pestilence, because a great portion of the uninsured in our nation are these people heading in large numbers to emergency hospitals. In the decades since Europe saw the ingress of illegal immigrants into their countries, they have seen medical care sink in the quality of service, including rationing. Here in America health care has also been disparaged by added forced mandated laws, that illegal people must be attended to, for even the common cold--which becomes yet another financial impediment to the legal population. It's just sheer madness on the part of the open border globalists, to keep feeding the country with millions of cheap labor. The burden for these services has never been financially appropriated from the businesses that employ foreign labor, but--ALWAYS--from the US taxpayer.
We have been brain-washed by the media and government that there are only 11 million illegal people who have violated our laws, whoever this is far from the truth. We can not afford for another AMNESTY to succeed, and must fight back tooth and nail? It's enactment would terrify the most conservative of financial analysts, of even larger obligation on every taxpayer. Of all the immigration tools at our disposal, we must not let our government exempt E-Verify from our ordinance. It should mandated in every human resources office that--ALL ERRORS-- can be reconciled, after being hired at the Social Security agencies.
President Obama has adamantly promised illegal aliens who knew the consequences of violating our border, a path to citizenship. Sorry! But the costs of this travesty cannot be even imagined. This is absolutely "Taxation without Representation" for like many laws that quietly fall upon the American taxpayer it is ethically wrong. Just addressing the OVERPOPULATION concept should be enough for--THE PEOPLE--to bombard your Senators and Congressman. Facts, statistics at NUMBERSUSA.
