If they don't get a job within an allotted time, send 'em packing! If they flee then so what? It's nothing we aren't used to.

Sounds like a good idea, but some of David's concerns are legit. If they don't "pay their way", and we send them packing, where do we send them back to? We already have issues w/illegal immigrants and not knowing where to send them. What if they commit crimes? Do we use taxpayers money to put them in jail when (arguably) they shouldn't even be here in the first place? Do we run background checks on every single one, which we also have to use taxpayer money to pay for? I'm all for allowing them in as long as they are a productive part of society, but I think there are many questions unanswered or tough to answer. I certainly don't have an answer so I like the communication between you, David, and others. Better to discuss options than to point fingers and get nothing done.
