IF I WERE A DICTATOR ( Cont. )

I must go back to the immigration subject, albeit having much to say about other topics.
In answer to the commentary of some of my faithful readers I state the following :
1) We are not running out all the illegals. Quite the contrary. We are giving these scofflaws a chance to legalize their stay. But we don't particularly want them here permanently or even to give them citizenship. We do want them to do the dirty work ( Agriculture, construction, etc.)
and so give them two years to stay. Then they may return after one year ( or six months)
for another two years work. How humane can a dictator be ?

There is absolutely no way to keep track of legal or illegal immigrants as it is - let alone knowing they have been here two years and then allowing them to come back in a year. They are here because there are jobs and they will stay here as long as they are needed. We simply do not have the manpower to do what you are suggesting - not that it is a bad idea.
