Electronic Message Sent to Mr. Vice President Biden:
The undocumented workers issue can be managed by granting a “Temporary Work Search Permit” (TWSP) to individual foreign workers at port of entry. The permits’ cards would also serve as IDs and include photo, finger prints, initial U.S. address, foreign passport number, and would be issued to would-be workers with no criminal records. Each TWSP would expire in a number of months specified in the permit and in the card. During that period of time the would-be worker would need to: (1) find a job and report it, (2) leave the U.S.A. if no job is obtained or (3) request an extension of time to continue seeking employment. Changes of addresses would also need to be reported. An automatic extension for a number of years would be granted when a job is reported.
The worker would not need to have a tentative job as to be issued a TWSP at his/her entrance, but would need to leave the country or be deported if not working (after the TWSP expiration) and having not requested an extension of time. Re-enter permits may be also granted. The worker would be free to travel abroad for vacation or other needs.
With the TWSP, there would be a new legal group of people in the U.S.: In addition to: (a) U.S. citizens, (b) green-card holders, (c) people with tourism or business visas, (d) people who do not need passport visas to visit the U.S.A., and (e) people with other statuses -like international students and diplomats: the (f) TWSP holders will not exceed the quantity the U.S. economy induces and society accepts.
They will not abandon their families in their countries and be unemployed in the US and unable to provide for their families.
The TWSP mechanism focuses in (1) economic and sociological trends in a changing world, (2) freedom in the USA, and (3) the leadership and friendship roles of the USA.
Foreigners will not come in larger numbers than those established by demand and supply in labor markets.
TWSPs should suffice for order and control. Besides, since only criminals would need to try to cross illegally the borders, TWSPs contribute to facilitating security.
The USA is THE leader of the world and needs to induce right attitudes in the Planet in the next years and decades. Effective acts of friendship and cooperation with Continental neighbors -for their achievement of excellence in economic performance, will moderate immigration trends; generating political, economical and sociological prosperity and stability south of the border.
Best regards,
Luis Molina May 24, 2010
This recommendation was presented again to the White House on October 27, 2011, summarized in the form of a petition.
