"And the fact is MANY Americans are hired "off the books" for the same reasons..because it is mutually beneficial to both parties..."

So, you are ok with everyone hiring "off the books?"

Actually, your posts have been pretty reasonable. Truthfully, I don't have a problem with someone who is willing to jump through rather stiff guest worker hoops. The few that would do so would really want to be citizens.

But a sizeable percentage of the horde of illegals I know don't care to become legal if it isn't given to them. So while I suspect SOME would sign up for guest worker, an important question no one is addressing is what percentage actually would? If it is only 20%, then the problem still exists.

Of course not.
My point was that working "under the table" was certainly not unique to illegals. Americans do it all the time.

Thanks. I really expected to be attacked a lot worse than I have been on these threads. I'm surprised.

I agree. And I don't think many people would be against holding accountable those who spit on the generosity of Americans in this case.
