Let Them Come if They Come to Work

   Just wondering if this would work: Allow to come to America every immigrant who pledges to work. Deport them if they don't work. Grant them citizenship if they work for four straight years.
   Off top, one of the problems I see is that it might create a bureaucracy to track them. Another problem, is that it would force them to take the lowest paying jobs, as they would have no choice but to take some job lest they be deported for having no job at all. Is that bad or is it good?
   It would reduce the number of immigrants working off the books, though. Since they would have to report their jobs, they couldn't get away with doing under-the-table work. Thus, they would be tax-paying folks like the rest of us.
   As for creating a bureaucracy to keep track of them, that might be reduced by assigning the task of keeping track of them to an existing agency.
