Yes. They are lawbreakers. But the BIGGESTS lawbreakers are the companies which hire these people knowing they are illegal, pay them under the table to avoid the SS employer co-pay and then dump them on the social support networks we all pay for so they can enjoy cheap labor.

I'd be willing to bet the number of takers would not fill the typical Geraldo studio audience.
Of course such a deal will never be made because once made citizens the democrats plan on bribing them with welfare transfer payments as they do most of the rest of the country's 'poor'.
Antyway, IMO most of them would rather stay 'in the shadows' because to them becoming a loyal American citizen for its own sake simply doesn't offer them any benefit.
