The work must be done. Will we have to bring in Chinese, like we did to build the railroad? Or will a new president next year construct a viable guest-worker program, a program that will legalize people willing to come north for better jobs and higher wages?

Guess we'll have to do something crazy, like let the marketplace rule.

Yeah, that would be a shocker. It amazes me that a country that spent the last year bellyaching about it's high unemployment could possibly have any jobs left for Mexicans to come in and take.

Let's see how about kicking lazy people off of the Welfare gravy train...

Dittoes--what has also steamed me about the employers of illegals is the air of charity they put on when they make slaves of them, burden the social services--"Oh, they're so eager to work."

Their eagerness makes the lawbreaking employers feel all warm and runny inside--"I'm so generous, so good to the poor downtrodden wetback..."

I really, honestly hear this sort of thing from people getting their lawns mowed for a disgracefully low sum of money--just because they're willing to break the law.
