Democrats would eliminate its main cause, Illegal Job, by:
1) Raising the minimum wage so that Americans police the Market for FREE.
2) Responding to the above Americans informing on Illegal Employers, by instituting massive fines and criminal prosecution.

Republicans can, if they like, repeal some of the top 1% tax cuts and use the money to:
1) Place guards, hand in hand, along the entire Southern Border 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
If you wish to save that money consider the Democratic Proposal above.

If you are a Righty or a Lefty please stop listening to the shit heads who manipulate us and just pick a cure. And for Christ's sake (literally) please don't let them get you to argue over your fundamental personality traits: Empathy on the Left and Individualism on the Right. We already know we disagree on that.
ONE PROBLEM: Once the cheap labor is gone, business owners will pass the increased costs onto the consumer. This will hurt the majority of professions who have not gotten a real raise in decades as opposed to top tier professions who have gotten a 150% raise. Since those professions worked for less before, it is likely they will continue at thier labors at their old pay (adjusted for inflation).
Spreading the last decades raise around a bit would then not put a break on the Economy but instead create a boom with capital pouring into the hands of the vast majority.
To offset then the increased prices due to the end of cheap labor I would propose:
- Zero Tax on the first ~$60,000 made by every American. (For revenue neutrality ~39% on additional dollars. A little more at first, a little less after the economic boom kicks in).
Potential Economic power houses reside throughout the population, not just within present day Aristocratic lines. They need capital to grow the Economy. Pro Worker is Pro Growth at this point in history.
