    I highly, HIGHLY doubt that all, or even most, of the Brazilian immigrants were illegal. However, they found the law distasteful, and voted with their feet. However, there IS a problem with our immigration policy.

    There just is. That a town failed to fully think through the pitfalls of effecting national policy within its borders without national support doesn’t change that fact.

    Look, American ingenuity and competitiveness is fueled by immigrant labor. Unfortunately, labor is not equal in this country. Unions created the incentive for business leaders to actually pay workers what they deserve to make. However, since we live in a country with such things as “right-to-work” States, companies could relocate their plants to places with no unions or weak unions, Offer GOOD wages, and leave unions in “union shop” states holding the bag.

    The unions forced businesses to treat everyone fairly, but were victims of their own success, due to an uneven policy between states.

    There is an uneven policy between foreign workers and American citizens. There is a downright chasm of a difference between Americans, legal foreigners, and shadow-economy workers.

    Same principal. If we make “right-to-work” laws nationwide, or abolish them nation wide, unions will begin to kick ass and take names. Obviously, unions are against “right-to-work” laws, but it is the UNEVEN situation that is causing the problem, not the laws themselves.

    If we simply make a hemisphere wide policy where Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Central and South Americans can live and work wherever, and have equal access to local laws regarding labor; I.E., a Mexican has the same rights as an American in America, and Americans have the same rights as Mexicans in Mexico, and Mexicans AND Americans have the same rights as Canadians in Canada…

    Things will go batshit insane for about ten years, and ultimately work themselves out.
