in my lifetime, "illegal" workers went from What? to So What. I mean every State in the USA, most cities, many street corners.. How can anyone talk about labor economics without starting with this..

We can’t address child labor issues until we eliminate undocumented workers?

The kind of infrastructure that can verify one can easily verify the other, check one and people will demand you check both, when really you'd rather check neither and keep making lots of money.

Starting with what? We have a ton of undocumented laborers and still not enough workers overall.

Start with granting amnesty to everyone here without a criminal record and then start opening up our borders? I have to assume that’s what you mean by “start with this.”
