This cannot be done without near draconian enforcement leveled at the consumer of illegal labor. Not the provider. As to the costs .... I don't think all told it will cost us anything more than we are already paying in welfare and crime related costs as it is.

I don't understand how you can justify criminality. We need to expunge these criminals now.

There really is no arguing with folks who refuse to see the vital role the Mexican laborer plays in our present economy. I think they walk around with blinders on. Maybe all the cubicle-bound can pretend that they don't depend on south of the border labor but anyone who works with their hand knows they are everywhere.

Are you only for illegal Mexicans or do Poles, Asians, Russians, Indians, Ethiopians count also? Part of this issue is the fact that we are only going to give all of these special rights to illegal Hispanics from mostly Mexico. Why the hypocrisy?

I do not depend on illegal labor. It is forced upon me by the lax enforcement of our laws. If I could I would go into a restaurant and ask if they have illegals there. If they said yes then I would walk out. Can you imagine the repercussions?

The part of the equation you conveniently leave out is the effect this is having on our society. I do not want to speak spanish. At all. Ever. Hispanics add nothing to my life per se. Yet, at every turn I am forced to accomodate hispanic languages, traditions and norms. Why? Why can't we ask them to assimilate into American society the way that has been done by millions of legal immigrants before?

It 'sounds' as if you live in kalyfornicate. I am sorry for you. I fled with my life and my sanity ten years ago.

Here in texas we have lived with Mexican culture since the beginning. It is said the Mexican Consulate in San Antonio has more real power than the mayor. I don't doubt it.

I too am worried about too many unaculturated Mexicans in this country. Especially given all the multi-cultural (anti-American) BS poluting our nation these days.

Believe me I have no special love for Mexicans. I'm so white I glow and am more than average zenophobic and I'm not kidding.

I just think their labor is indespensible and given our border situation and our judiciary the most effective way to deal with them is a guest worker program as I have described.
