Your post advocates a

( ) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante

approach to controlling illegal or undocumented worker immigration to the United States. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which vary from state to state despite and due to federal law.)

( ) Does not solve the problem of "coyotes" or hired guides
( ) Unsatisfactorily affects legitimate border crossings
( ) No one will be able to find the immigrant or collect the money
( ) Does not account for spontaneous mass crossings
( ) It will stop immigration for two weeks and then we'll be stuck paying for it
( ) Latino citizens will not put up with it
( ) Other reasonable citizens will not put up with it
( ) The border patrol will not put up with it
( ) Requires too much cooperation from the Mexican government
( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from all involved actors at once
( ) Many industries cannot afford to lose low-wage laborers and/or alienate high-demand workers
( ) Motivated immigrants will overcome all suggested countermeasures
( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business

Specifically, your plan fails to account for

( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it
( ) Lack of political will
( ) Success rate and profitability of coyote-led crossings
( ) Libertarians
( ) Jurisdictional problems
( ) Unpopularity of new taxes and/or unrecoverable outlays
( ) Public reluctance to legitimize known lawbreakers
( ) Huge political, economic and social benefits of existing immigration policy
( ) Susceptibility of alternative entry points
( ) Willingness of taxpayers to perpetually fund policy
( ) What lengths businesses and/or desperate people will go thrue to make a buck
( ) Arms race in which one side spends hundreds of dollars and the other billions
( ) Hard working, low-wage citizens already here
( ) Sophisticated counterfeit identification
( ) Opportunist or otherwise ill-motivated politicians
( ) Deep social apathy on the part of people who do business with immigrants
( ) Dishonesty on the part of some immigrants themselves
( ) Mission-creep and "unforeseen" costs accompanying bureaucracy
( ) Racists exercising the 2nd amendment 

and the following philosophical objections may also apply:

( ) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical
( ) Any scheme based on voluntary measures is unacceptable
( ) Building walls instead of bridges to neighbors should not be subject of legislation
( ) Closed and/or militarized borders suck
( ) Open, porous borders suck
( ) We should be able to talk about Mexican immigration without using codewords
( ) Countermeasures should not involve ignoring Constitutional guarantees
( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotaging seasonal industries and local economies
( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually
( ) Border crossing should be bribe-free
( ) Why should we have to concern ourselves with the welfare of non-citizens?
( ) Incompatibility with basic tenets of freedom, liberty and/or pursuit of happiness
( ) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
( ) Temporary guest worker programs institutionalize class
( ) I don't want government corporatocracy in-sourcing my job(s)
( ) Punishing them that way is not slow and painful enough

Furthermore, this is what I think about you:

( ) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) Nice try, apologist! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!
