>And I agree 100% (odd huh?) but I just don't see an answer on how to do it without creating chaos in some industries.
Increasing worker visas, requiring workers have documentation - it would slow things down at first and there would probably be some chaos while they found new labor supplies, but I don't think it's unworkable. What's happening now just isn't good for anybody.
Charles Hankey

- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
