Exactly.

High school Juniors and Seniors. Folks who right now can't get a job because the illegals are doing the work they used to do, like flip burgers, wash cars and mow lawns.

And you'll not I said as low as 2.00 - which opens up to 3.50,4.00 an hour on up to what is now minimum wage. The job experience would in many instances act as an apprenticeship and a doorway to higher pay and better positions after their two year period of eligibility expires.

It's certainly not perfect, nothing is, but I see it as a solution to outsourcing and illegal hiring for the same wages. You know as well as I do that there are kids out there, with few skills yet, who would eagerly embrace such.

And the best part is these kids would naturally be in demand EVERYWHERE, in almost every industry. By caping it to two years, the workforce is not permanently indentured at low wages. It merely replaces the current outsourcing labor overseas and the flow of illegals would drop almost immediately along with the rates of crime and disease.
