I don't approve of hiring illegals to do anything, in fact, I think the penalty for hiring an illegal should be 5 years and a $25,000 fine for each offense. Let's see how many illegals we have here after that.
With all that said though, I think we should allow 100 times as many legal immigrants from Mexico into the country every year. They should be required to have a job (sponsor) and not break any laws or their out. We should also do away with the minimum wage, and eliminate all social services (including free education) for anyone who isn't a citizen or permanent resident.
All the Mexicans I know work damned hard. If they'll willing to come here legally, and take care of themselves and their families, learn the language, and assimilate into our society then I'm happy to have them come.
They're entitled to the same chance that all the other immigrant communities have had. But they should get nothing for free. Put laws like these in place and you wont have to deport anyone, they'll go home on their own.
I totally agree with your point. The vast majority of Mexicans who come here come here to work, and work hard. These are the exact type of immigrants we need here in the US. But they need to come LEGALLY and welcomed. This is why illegal immigration sucks, because 5-10% or more of this population are criminal thugs who aren’t screened out by coming here legally and getting background checks on them, etc. In the small 40,000 population town in Indiana where I lived, the police blotter was just filled with these lowlifes. They ruin it for the vast majority of illegals. Too bad the illegals can’t dole out a little vigilante justice on these creeps who are making them all look bad.
