Study Suggests Executing Illegals

America's fight with the illegal immigrant problem continues. On one hand, the illegals could be granted amnesty, led on the path to citizenship, or they could all be deported to their individual county of origin. A new study suggests a third way. Execution.

Marty Kaplan at The Huffington Post reports on a new study by The Institute for Human Dignity, a Washington-based research center (not associated with the Institute for Human Dignity). The report, titled 'A Modest Proposal', suggests that executing illegal immigrants would have a significantly positive input on the American economy.

Providing amnesty for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants would cost billions of dollars in lost jobs for American citizens, the study found. Which in itself isn't a big shocker, as thousands of American jobs are already being moved out of the country in search of cheap labor. With amnesty for illegals, those jobs would also be lost within the country.

With time, the hiring of cheap, legal, labor within America would cease to be profitable, and you'd see former illegals complaining that they are losing their jobs to their cousins and brothers back home in Mexico, who'll do the job for less.

Would that make the former illegals, now citizens or prospective citizens, want to run back home to more jobs? 12 million new workers in America would raise the level of unemployment, forcing some of the workers to leave their new home to fly back to where they came from for the job they just had.

Executions, on the other game, would create am estimated 1.2 million new jobs in the penal sector, as well as reducing the tax burden on Americans who provide schooling and other services for there former aliens.

The figure of 1.2 million new jobs does not take into account the additional stimulus to the news and entertainment sector. We'd be talking executions no primetime television, sponsored by the leading tobacco companies as well as funeral home operators. Maybe even Taco Bell...
