THAT right there is a reason why the illegal problem must be handledd carefully.

I do not like the fact they ( illeagals ) are here, and I do not like the fact that they break our laws to get here.

Some peoplee claim that "Illeagals do the work Americans won't! "
That is because Americans are unwilling to live 20 persons to a shed on some plantation, get lousy pay and be abused.
The food-growers and packers are unwilling to pay higher wages., so they hire people who will put up with the bad pay and lousy conditions.
WE are unwilling to pay higher food-costs.
And politicians want to keep the big plantations and companies like Del Monte happy.
It's a viscious circle aand everyone winks at it, and people whine about it anyway.

Wanna see real rioting and blood-shed in America? Throw all of the illeagals out over-night, seal the borders and watch the price of food sky-rocket over-night. LA and Chicago will light up overnight, I promise.

I do NOT have an answer, BTW.

We have 10's of Millions of people collecting welfare benefits, many are able bodied living right here in America. What would be wrong with forcing those people to fill those so called unwanted jobs? Welfare cannot be any more lucrative financially than making minimum wage, other than the lazy bums sit with free food while the hungry illegals come to work. Filling those so called unwanted jobs by welfare Americans closes the incentive for illegal immigrants to come here to seek work.

But forcing the welfare people to work would alienate a whole 2nd and 3rd generation lifestyle of voters who rally behind the Democrats entitlements twinkie. Think of the fear of the welfare lifestyle if benefits were rumored to be discontinued! Name a politician who would take the heat for such a proposal!

My solution to illegal immigration is to eliminate welfare and food stamps, and the resulting hungry people will seek work wherever. Americans will fill the jobs. Illegals will stay home.
