Bayourod, like many other FReepers have good valid points.

Keep in mind, not withstanding other nations, Hondurans, Salvadorians, Costa Ricans, Nicaraguans et al, must first crash the Mexican Border to get to ours.   The Mexican government guards their Southern Border with federal troops, and are not to kind to their neighbors, and in fact, when caught...damn brutal.   If we did the same, the howling would be deafening.

There is no such thing as cheap labor.   Anybody working in the fields, picking or harvesting, should have some kind of benefits, and presently, they are getting ours!   That's the problem.   Border states social services are being taxed and bursting to the breaking point.   For sure, are being paid the minimum wage or above for unskilled labor, that established by congress.   However, that's a separate issue(s) from legal v. illegal immigration, and border control, which can't be justifiably discussed in the same breath.
