...but I've been advocating a form of this method for years. If the employers are bothered, they'll stop hiring illegal aliens. As the workforce decreases, we might actually see businessmen asking the federal government to bring in legal temps in higher numbers. The legal workers may be here on a temporary Visa basis, but, as long as they can come in and do the work, knowing that they have paid passage to go back home, we might have more of them willing to actually GO back home. They will have money in their pockets when they do, and will be able to spend it in a country where it will last longer.

I just don't see how people don't see a win-win here. Even the country they would be returning to should love this option because they have people coming into their countries with money in their pockets. The only reason a leader of a country would not like this is because these people coming back can also vote in elections and those votes might stir up the status quo. I think that is part of the reason why you don't hear other countries complaining too much about these immigration issues we deal with.
