Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says illegal immigrants do essential work in the U.S. and he has firsthand knowledge of that -- because they fix his house.
Powell, a moderate Republican, urged his party Sunday to support immigration generally because it is "what's keeping this country's lifeblood moving forward."
In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," he said a path to legal status should be offered to illegal immigrants in the U.S. because they "are doing things we need done in this country."
He added: "They're all over my house, doing things whenever I call for repairs, and I'm sure you've seen them at your house. We've got to find a way to bring these people out of the darkness and give them some kind of status."

Thanks Powell, everytime you hire an illegal, you could have put money into the pockets of a US citizen so he could feed his family - and pay his taxes.
I try my best to vet any contractors doing work at my house. I also make it clear that I will not allow any illegal workers on my property, no exceptions.
Heck people are begging for jobs.Put an ad in the paper and see what happens.Powell has betrayed the U.S.citizens.Powell=Cheap labor at any costs to us.Shame on you Powell.
Isn’t this a confession of tax evasion? You can just have people on the payroll and not pay withholding taxes can you?
I have to fix my own house. Can't afford to pay someone to do it. It is almost a let them eat cake moment isn't it?
In other words, this liberal is actually a slave owner, son of possible colonial slaves from Jamaica, hmmm???
Very simple, Affirmative Action like the illegal alien an usurper in the W.H.!!!
Exactly
This is Powell’s way of applying for a cabinet position in the Obama administration.
A public confession of criminal behavior.
Sure, they're all over his house until the work is done. Then they go back to their own neighborhoods. It's a sure bet they don't live in Powell's neighborhood! I feel quite sure Colin Powell wasn't kept awake until 1:30 a.m., as I was just last night, by the illegals in his neighborhood blasting their mariachi music. People like Powell would NEVER live in an illegal alien neighborhood. They just lecture you and me that we should be happy to.
Colin is a regular old country clubber looking to exploit illegals and not spend his wealth on quality construction. He is aiding and abetting criminals.
Who?
how did he advance so far in the military?
affirmative action?
I know someone who worked at bill cosby’s dentists office. whenever he was scheduled to come , the owner had to bring in all black employees to make him happy.
I know a hooker who refused to sleep with Cosby. She got fired.
Just one more example why Colon Powell might be a Republican, but he sure isn’t a conservative. Now, I wonder about his love of America.
Most likely, just another rich tightwad liberal who only cares about himself, not his fellow Americans.
Rich bastard can’t pay for an American contractor? And he sees that as the reason we need illegal immigration?
Just oy.
I haven't seen any evidence of large cities and high population density being conducive to conservatism.
