So, if the problem everyone seems to have is with undocumented workers, what's wrong with going about documenting them?

The ones with criminal records get deported, the rest, like it says in his statement, can come in to work, and go home when they're done.

It was done before, called the Bracero program, and it worked fine. It wasn't until the law was changed, and the ability to come to the U.S., work, then go back home at the end of the day/week/month/season was eliminated, that most Mexicans realized that attempting to go home was too risky...so they stayed here.

I'm not necessarily against that.

But I am against in any way rewarding those who entered illegally.

If we need the labor, and they apply for a slot to come here in their homeland, fine.

But the illegals that are here should be deported post haste, IMO.

And they definitely should not be partaking of the taxpayer's largesse.

On a side note, let me say that the Hispanics I meet around the country are some of the most hardworking folks I've ever seen...and they generally are very good citizens.

That's right. They already travel back and forth across the border. They do this all the time, so why not just given their visas?
