Please add: #5 - And, by the way, "Anchor Babies" have been abolished.
The whole "prices will go way up" argument is bogus anyway.
You give a lettuce picker a $5/hr raise above what he's currently paid. He picks 200 heads of lettuce an hour. We're really worried about lettuce costing another 2.5 CENTS per head ?
Studies repeatedly show the overall price increase at less than 1% if all illegal workers were replaced with legal workers. Check www.cis.org to see the price increase argument is BS.
There's always been an abundance of illegal immigrants in this Country.
Illegal Immigrant Pleads Guilty To Deceiving Cessna
Wed, 23 Aug '06
Had Accused Company Of Using Status Against Him
He once went to the media with his case to receive medical treatment for injuries he says he suffered on the job at Cessna in Wichita. Now... Rogelio Ortega-Guzman has pleaded guilty to charges of fraud in making his claim for Worker's Compensation.
Back in May, Guzman told reporters that Cessna was using his illegal immigrant status like a sword of Damacles -- if he filed for workman's comp, the company would out him to Immigrations and Customs.
He did... and, as Aero-News reported, was arrested the next day, along with four other suspected illegals.
In court this week, Guzman pled guilty to three counts related to his job at Cessna -- fradulently obtaining a Social Security Card and resident alien card, filing a worker's comp claim with a false Social Security number, and deceiving Cessna by using that number. The Associated Press says he'll be sentenced in November.
Rogelio's wife, Maria Leticia Ortega, also faces immigration charges.

mkjessup, you and the likes of the Tancredo's and Hayworth's have got my support!
"gub"...Thanks for the pings, they are appreciated!
The whole BS argument of "doing jobs Americans won't do" is getting tiresome. They're doing the jobs for the pay that Americans won't do them for. I've read that the costs of this illegal-underground workforce far outweigh the benefits and the cost is getting higher.
The reports coming out this week of Spanish speaking OTM's coming over the border should be the latest Wake-The-F-Up America alarm!
Yep. :)
He sounded hillaryish with the venom coming out about basically people who are farmers or own evil janitorial services.
Yes, but you're a troll. The Willie Green of illegal immigration, except you're in favor of it.
Cheers!
You're the one who says that white people wouldn't want their children doing janitorial work and therefore Mexicans should do it.
"Civility in public debate remains dead and buried."
When it comes to jackass politicians who's only goal is to get elected and not enforce our laws.
It SHOULD be dead and buried.
"So Senator Craig what the hell are the other 9.5 million other illegals doing."
Good bloody question.
Post #29 you totally nailed it. Well said.
It's too late here in California, the most invaded state in the USA. Here they crave and get on their knees for the "hispanic vote", whether it's legal or illegal.
