It's a fucking great idea because it is a) reasonable b) a solution to safety concerns.

Congress is going into recess next week I think or the week after. Call your legislators local offices and tell them you want to see something like this negotiated THIS spring. Ask to meet with them and their community representatives. IF they say no, write to your newspapers and tell them exactly who said what when. They need to be called out for irresponsible governance. This includes attacking undocumented workers who help power local economies and are taxpayers in their districts. If foreign corporations that abuse citizen and immigrant alike get a say, all taxpayers get a say, too.
