Reply #5: How about USA, Canada and Mexico form a North American Citizenship [View All]

[fob]

agreement? You want to work here, fine present your Canadian or Mexican ID and the US employer can hire you once your government verifies with ours that you are who you say you are. That and the company hires you at your home country wage and pays the difference (US wage less Home country wage) to US government for domestic worker training/health insurance etc. So if construction workers get paid $20/hr in your area, and Company A hires a fellow North American, but not US citizen for $10/hr, then Company A ALSO pays $10/hr to US. No incentive for Company A, fellow NA still get's a job, can retain their dignity by not being "illegal", and the US worker will probably cost a little less with paperwork involved, and/or can get training/etc from funds.

Oh, and all 3 countries would have the same plan available to them.
