It's immoral to keep an adult locked in a house without their consent but not immoral to keep them locked out.

I didn't say they needed those people for the field their degrees were in, just that they hire them.

For New York State, the bi-annual Professional Career Opportunities exam has the only requirement to have graduated college. More than half the titles filled by it have no restriction on what the degree is in. The best hope people with useless degrees have for getting a job more fulfilling than retail or food service is to take one of these jobs. Thus, they get people to fill positions for half the pay they would make in a comparable job in the private sector. Were it not for useless degrees,

Ok fine, 3x bounty, so $300, but the interruption wouldn't be more than a day. Plus they can sue the bounty hunter for damages.

It's not hard to prove you're here legitimately, any form of photo ID+SSN and Homeland Security can look up whether someone's a citizen, green card holder, on some form of work visa, etc.

Why don’t you just admit that the idea isn’t going to work for the reasons I gave you rather than adding these silly compensations that aren’t really going to cover the damages. We haven’t even gotten into the issue of who is going to supervise these bountyhunters to make sure they obey the law

Some classes of temporary visas should be OK too, provided they're not tourist visas. Some college classmates spent a year studying abroad in Japan and were part of their healthcare system.

Not that I think America could pull off a functional universal healthcare system, but let's say a miracle happens and we get one that is both inexpensive and doesn't suck, the following should be OK:
-US Citizens
-Green Card Holders
-Work Visa Holders
-Family of Work Visa Holders who have their own non-working visa (usually spouses, children)
-Student Visa Holders

Once universal healthcare happens, employer provided healthcare will stop being a benefit, and without allowing all the classes of people currently receiving employer healthcare, we'd have less people covered than there are now.

It's intended as a disincentive more than anything else. If the bounty hunter just goes around wrangling everyone with a Spanish accent he encounters, he'll go broke pretty quickly with the instant fine of $300 each combined with lawsuits. And as I told Dutch, if it's taking longer than 2 days to verify these people, that is what needs to be fixed.

For the record, I don't actually think this idea would work. But, not for the reasons you stated.

provided they're not tourist visas.

Most countries will provide universal healthcare and then bill the tourist's home country health care system.

This presents a problem for Americans travelling abroad because the US does not have a single health care agency that a foreign country can bill.

Instant fine would need to be about $50,000. How much would you want to be compensated for being ordered at gunpoint to be handcuffed and transported quite a distance without warning?

And some people will take a bit of time to prove they are legal residents. I only have proof of legal residence on my person now that I carry an enhanced drivers license. Before that I did not.

And don't say that if your name is Jose Gonzales you must always carry proof of residence on you, while if your name is John Smith you need not.

the issue that really needs resolving is to stop Americans from hiring illegals directly or indirectly.
We all contribute to illegals being here, be it by shopping for that real cheap blacktop job, landscaper, masonry or store work yet we all live with our head in the sand.
Biggest problem is we all want to have biggest income but when it gets to expenses we look the other way. illegals, cheap imports etc etc.

We blame Illegals for being here, but we indirectly invite them.

More to the point, absent an EDL, most American citizens don't carry birth certificates or passports with them in normal circumstances. Suppose a vigilante looking for an easy payday starts accosting Hispanic-looking people at the local Walmart or public park? Unable to immediately prove citizenship, but being held for ICE at gunpoint, what happens when a citizen challenges the vigilante and gets shot?

A "bounty system" in this gun-obsessed, racially mad society, would get real ugly, real fast.

That doesn't matter since know you,re wrong. As a retired person, I want to see as man people possibly working legally as possible. Which may mean an amnesty, just like reagan did in the 80s, when it was more likely one could “compete for your job”(barring the reality that you personally were civil service). Face facts.

The one thing I want to see in any reform is the means to make it easier and affordable for small businesses and family farms to get visas for temporary workers. Being marginally profitable doesn't mean you don't need the help nor can you afford lawyers at hunndreds per hour to handle applications for you. Thta system is Byzantine and needs simplification far more than the 1040 does. For sure. Make it easy for farmers to get legal help in when they need it, and they won't be bringng in workers illegally.
