[QUOTE="Mutineer, post: 5070962, member: 69587"] Due to the sheer numbers, and that California is a "sanctuary state" I do not believe that would be effective. Simple: enforce immigration laws. Do not admit immigrants who's occupation or skills are not in demand. If the Bureau of Labor sez there are alot of unemployed widget specialists, do not import MORE widget specialists. Severely restrict the import of unskilled labor. Once upon a time, this is how teenagers and young adults got into the workforce. An unskilled 18yo could start at the bottom of an occupation and through time build a career in a vocation, skill, craft, or trade. Due to excessive immigration, once respectable and prosperous occupations are now the province of the working-poor. When every job available to young adults is a dead-end, part-time, minimum-wage crap-job, It's no surprise that so many young adults don't bother anymore. Because employers know that an immigrant with a green card or a work visa is always available and will do the job for less. Stop importing more labor when there are plenty of unemployed citizens.
