Define "destroyed" by illegal immigration. I completly agree with you that employers are taking big advantage of illegals but now we want government to act as big brother and monitor every construction site, and every hotel chain and every lawn service and see who is illlegal and who is not? The point is to solve a problem that exists currently and would like comments on how to solve the problem. By the way, local newspapers here are full of wanted ads for the hotel industry and other low wage jobs but the unemployment offices are still jampacked. So what does that tell ya?

UH the jobs are now done illegally and therefore are destroyed. I fail to see how enforcement by the govt vs employers who break the law is big brother. We enforce all kinds of laws on employers but turn a blind eye to illegals. You are being rather selective in what is big brother and what is not. Especially when you consider that the guest worker program will have to offend you big brother sensibilities in order for it to be enforced and to a greater degree.

It tells me hotel industry workers are underpaid. If the hotels need them to stay in business, they will have to raise the wages. Of couse they now have a pool of illegals to draw on and exploit.
