Is Immigration Reform a Stimulus for the Economy?

If immigrants had an opportunity to buy a home and a new car or buy that big T.V without fear of deportation they would. not that they don’t already buy  things such as clothing , food and inexpensive cars. but they would contribute more to this economy if they had less fear of not being able to enjoy the things they buy.

I would propose  immigrants pay a fine of 7,500 for a family that can show it has been here longer than five years and 8,500 for someone here with two years. and 10,000 for someone that has less then one year in this country and can prove they have a job that no one has applied for and could not be filled.

and yes everyone would be required to pay a fee for background checks and only people that have not committed felonies should be granted citizenship.

lastly with Americas debt at an alarming high we will need more people paying into taxes and social security.
