-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE--INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE
PRESIDENTIAL-CANDIDATE--ARE TALKING ABOUT THE "RED-CARD SOLUTION"--WHICH
AIMS TO DEAL WITH AMERICA'S IMMIGRATION-PROBLEMS THROUGH FREE-MARKETS.
BUT, JUST WHAT DOES THE PROPOSAL INVOLVE? HELEN KRIEBLE
["CREE-BULL"]--THE PRESIDENT OF "THE VERNON K-
KRIEBLE FOUNDATION"--EXPLAINS...
(KRIEBLE):
"UNDER OUR PLAN, THE U-S GOVERNMENT WOULD AUTHORIZE
PRIVATE-EMPLOYMENT FIRMS TO OPEN OFFICES ABROAD, AND ISSUE NON-IMMIGRANT
WORK-PERMITS THAT FOREIGN WORKERS WOULD APPLY FOR, IN THEIR OWN
COUNTRIES. AFTER CRIMINAL-BACKGROUND CHECKS, THE APPLICANTS WOULD
THEN BE MATCHED TO UNFILLED U-S JOBS, AND ISSUED A 'SMART CARD' WITH
BIOMETRIC DATA--WHICH WOULD ALLOW BORDER-AUTHORITIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY
ENTER LEGALLY, WORK AT THE AGREED EMPLOYMENT, AND RETURN WHEN THE WORK
ENDS. IT PROVIDES A SIMPLE PATH FOR THOSE ALREADY IN THE U-S
ILLEGALLY: THEY COULD SIMPLY LEAVE THE U-S, APPLY FOR AVAILABLE
POSITIONS, AT EMPLOYMENT-OFFICES OUTSIDE OUR BORDERS, THEN ENTER
LEGALLY--UNDER OUR TERMS--AS TAXPAYERS, NOT TAX-DRAINERS. AND, THE
COSTS OF THE PROGRAM WOULD BE ENTIRELY PAID FOR WITH USER-FEES FROM
EMPLOYERS AND WORKERS--NOT WITH TAX-DOLLARS. IT'S SIMPLE BECAUSE
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CITIZENSHIP OR IMMIGRATION; THESE ARE ONLY
WORK-PERMITS. THE IDEA IS TO LET THE MARKET DO WHAT IT DOES BEST:
LINK THOSE WHO NEED A SERVICE, WITH WORKERS WHO CAN PROVIDE IT."
