A Potential Solution?

What would be the effects on America’s economy if we were to allow a certain number of Mexican/Latino immigrants into our country each year to work in lower-waged jobs? They could pay taxes and then save the rest of the money to send back to their family. Each year, there will be a turnover of immigrants, the old immigrants would return to their former country, allowing room for a new cycle of immigrants. We would reserve a certain number of jobs for migrant workers, leaving room for expansion for other American workers who wish to have a job. This would create a steady input of work into the American economy. There would also be a steady decrease in deaths among immigrants because they wouldn’t have to risk going through the desert if they have a visa to come here.

But even looking at this solution, it's assuming that most immigrants are wanting to return to their country, in most cases they are because that have left family there. But this situation encompasses many different aspects. For example, what should we do if an illegal immigrant has a baby in the United States?

We must come up with a solution to fix their conditions at home so that their will be less demand to travel to the United States. Therefore, we must go to the root of the problem. One thing that is being done and that should be promoted more is creating a system of fair trade between consumers and the the products made by Mexicans and Latinos. Looking at this solution, it looks like a win-win situation: Mexicans/Latinos are more likely to stay in their country without risking death and people don't have to worry about any changes to their economy, even though statistics show that there has been approximately equal input and output from immigrants.
