Assignment 8A
The presented problem in the previous exercises are the immigrants that are detained at the boarder in the United States. Although it may be necessary, this is a problem because of the millions of tax payers dollars that are being spend to feed, clothe, and house people that are not contributing to the economy. A potential solution to this problem would be offering minimum wage paying jobs to the immigrants to work in factories or in agriculture while they wait for their pending approval to be passed. In this way, they would have something to do as they are detained while simultaneously contributing to the U.S. economy by producing manufactured goods or services at low cost to U.S. citizens. In order to prevent disrupting current U.S. workers, these workers could do a variety of jobs, so that no single industry is being dominated.

Your solution is rather interesting in solving the idleness of immigrants that exists at the U.S border. However, I feel that it is rather difficult to employ workers at minimum wage for two reasons. The first reason is that they are detained at the border, their work location should be near the border. If they are located too far or receive too much freedom of distance, then they may just stay in the United States regardless of status. This is similar to the Visa overstay problem which is a different issue. The second reason is that it is difficult to employ illegal immigrants due to a federal law banning the hiring of illegal immigrants. However, I would not dismiss that possibility that the government would make exceptions to this law.
