If you pay enough to "lay asphalt and clean toilets" they will come. From within our borders at that. I watched good beef plant industry jobs go from $15.00 to $18.00 per hr. in the late 70's go to $9.00 to $10.00 an hr. by using illegals to break the existing wage. This is not progress Ben. These people use our emergency rooms and shrug when someone asks them who is going to pay the bill. The former employees of this packing plant had med insurance. Tell me again what a wonderful assest these "illegal immigrants" are Ben. You are talking to someone who has seen first hand the damage done. Chew on that.

Now you are back to Greenspan, constricting the labor supply, rising wages, and inflation.

Congress ain't gonna do it.

Even Tancredo says we need guest workers.
