"Most inmates leave prison with no money and few prospects. They may get $25 and a bus ticket home if they are lucky. Studies have found that within a year of release, 60 PERCENT OF EX-INMATES REMAIN UNEMPLOYED. Several states have barred parolees from working in various professions, including real estate, medicine, nursing, engineering, education and dentistry. The Higher Education Act of 1998 bars people convicted of drug offenses from receiving student loans. Prisoners are told to reform but they are given few tools to do so. Once they are entangled in the prison system, many belong to it for life. They may spend stretches of time inside prison and periods outside but they are never truly free."

Apparently an "illegal" is not considered a criminal (even though they are by definition), because they are employed in many industries, taking the jobs that many Americans would gladly take.

You can not lay the blame on just the illegals, you need to look on both sides. If it weren't for employers to hire these illegals then there wouldn't be no proplem for Americans to get the jobs they want.
