All employers ranging from large companies to small day-labor-hiring outfits would be required to check ID cards and adhere to specific hiring practices. Mexican, Canadian and U.S citizens could live and work in other NA union countries under visas and under the oversight of their employers, whoâ??d be subject to alien hiring restrictions. Health and human services would be covered by citizensâ?? native countries or employers, not picked up by the countries into which people had immigrated. In rare instances where services were emergently provided to aliens/immigrant workers by host countries, those expenses would be billed back to the alienâ??s country or employer of origin. Free trade and regulated but open borders would benefit the three union countries in various ways, particularly with prescription drug and buyable good prices, and it would help liberalize our own countryâ??s cannabis laws. A union approach would vastly improve the standard of living in Mexico, which would help stem the tide of immigrants coming to live and work in the U.S. The U.S. and Canada would have to help Mexico get its crime and corruption problems under control initially, but that could be done.
