How to deal with illegal immigration

Hi
One problem which industrial nations must face is the balancing of illegal versus legal immigration. We in the United States are at such a crossroads in our existence. Unfortunately the politicians on both sides of the isle are burying their collective heads in the sand on this issue. We need some one to step up to the plate and take action, not a politician but a statesman. In my previous writings I have touched on the subject, but nothing has been done. This blog is to serve as a refresher course.
I am going to concentrate on the flood of people from the Americas because that is where the problem calls for some bold initiative.
My proposal would be a variation of the so called "tag up rule". (Drawn on the American game of baseball) ALL illegals would be required to go to their native country and there they need to go to the local authorities where they must obtain a written document which must contain two items, they are not on any criminal wanted list and they are not carrying any communicable diseases. This document must be presented to a representative of the United States government, done in the native land of the proposed immigrant. This document is then validated by the US representative, the validation must be tamper proof in that it contains a photo and a thumb print, and now can serve as an entry pass into the United States. Immediately upon entering the United States the immigrant must present this document to an agent. Here the info is entered onto a secure US government web site and stamped. The immigrant is now in the US legally. When the immigrant goes for employment he must show this validated ID to his employer. The employer has a brief time (three days?) to cross check with the US data base. To prove that this has done the employer must notify the site manager that this immigrant is being hired. In the event of an employer hiring an undocumented worker there would be a substantial fine, enough to deter any short steps or tampering. The employer would further be banned from hiring these guest workers for a period of two years.
The cost can be partially borne by the immigrant who would be required to pay a minimal fee when his card is validated in the US, much like a drivers license. Why can't we use this system or some variation of it? The politicians don't want to fix the problem. The goal of the Obama administration is to grant amnesty to all illegals here and put them on a path to citizenship. The motive, more democratic voters. The real result is to make these immigrants into "economic slaves". The people would be under educated, under trained and inexperienced to do any meaningful labor, hence they become dependent on the government for assistance. This has already been done to the blacks, is it now the turn for the Latinos? I hope and pray that the answer is no. Just like earlier immigrants these people want to come here to better themselves so we owe them the chance to do so with their heads held high. Let's really offer them the American dream.
Meanwhile please pray for our service people.
GOD Bless
