Your logic is based on the misconception that employers want to hire illegals. If an employer can get a legal worker, he has no need for the illegal.

"Your logic is based on the misconception that employers want to hire illegals."

No. My logic is based on the correct assertion that any given company will want to pay as close to $0 as possible for labor. That is why we had to outlaw slavery and indentured servitude in this country.

If a company wanted to hire a legal citizen, we have plenty available. Your logic is based upon the lie that there is a shortage of available labor. There is not.

Much of Bushie's 'guest-worker' plan is lifted from policies in place in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. No thank you to slavery or purposely importing impoverished slums.

Without enforcement (which history shows us is more than likely) illegal and legal wouldnt matter. A fence makes even tepid enforcement effective.
