From the CFR…

• Create a ‘‘North American preference.’’ Canada, the United States, and Mexico should agree on streamlined immigration and labor mobility rules that enable citizens of all three countries to work elsewhere in North America with far fewer restrictions than immigrants from other countries. This new system should be both broader and simpler than the current system of NAFTA visas. Special immigration status should be given to teachers, faculty, and students in the region.

• Move to full labor mobility between Canada and the United States. To make companies based in North America as competitive as possible in the global economy, Canada and the United States should consider eliminating all remaining barriers to the ability of their citizens to live and work in the other country. This free flow of people would offer an important advantage to employers in both countries by giving them rapid access to a larger pool of skilled labor, and would enhance the well-being of individuals in both countries by enabling them to move quickly to where their skills are needed. In the long term, the two countries should work to extend this policy to Mexico as well, though doing so will not be practical until wage differentials between Mexico and its two North American neighbors have diminished considerably.

From Canadians.org…

In 2000, the United Nations estimated that, of a global population of 6 billion people, about 175 million—or 3 percent of the world’s population—were international migrants. The level of Mexican migration into the United States was greater, with 9 percent of Mexican-born individuals living in the United States. The free flow of people across national borders will undoubtedly continue throughout the world as well as in North America, as will the social, political, and economic challenges that accompany this trend. In order to remain competitive in the global economy, it is imperative for the twenty-first-century North American labor market to possess the flexibility necessary to meet industrial labor demands on a transitional basis and in a way that responds to market forces. This demand will prompt policymakers to think creatively about prospective policy options.

The solution to illegal immigration, the ones coming and the ones already here, is to crack down HARD on the employers of illegal immigrants.

Start slapping them with stiff fines for EVERY illegal they employ. Make them PAY to fly them back to whatever country they came from. Put repeat offenders in JAIL.

When illegal immigrants can't find a job, they'll have to head back south. On the way, they'll spread the word that there aren't any jobs in el norte, just turn around and go back home.

The illegals will "deport" themselves if this is done.

If our economy NEEDS them to work here, we can set up employer-paid sponsorship programs for employees THEY will be legally responsible for and vouch for to become citizens.
