I've already stated that I support the punishment of people/companies that hire illegal workers, but do not support amnesty in any way.
How is making them pay taxes on their already rock bottom wages going to improve the economy when you're putting qualified and well paid workers out of work and, subsequently, on unemployment at the same time?
That plan is far too much of a fairy tale to work.

It would even the workforce. They wouldn't work for dirt anymore and would have the same opportunities as everyone else because they can get more high profile or high paying jobs being citizens. Why would they be putting qualified people out of work? More likely they'd keep the same kind of jobs they had before, but would work on a legal wage.
