You seem to be missing the point that Joe Sixpack is UNEMPLOYED .... he is working zero hours to support his family. It's not like this job would even be on the market if the homeowner would have to pay $150 a day to rake leaves.

Rake leaves? LOL!

These greedy employers, contractors etc, that would rather pay an illegal alien $9. an hour, with NO benefits, instead of $25. per hour that construction jobs use to pay. Americans are being had. These millions of border jumpers are driving *down* the freaking wages.

Okay by reading all of these posts everyone seems to be giving reasons as to why it benefits are Government to contiune to let illegals into our country.

1.Keeps wages low which benefits big business.
2.May provide more taxable income
3.No extra expenses in hiring more border patrol agents
4.Panders to a big portion of the hispanic vote since they are or soon will be the 2nd largest ethnic group in this country.

And I am sure I missed a few others but there seems to be alot of reasons as to why we may never protect our borders. I guess in our governments eyes a war on terror has nothing to do with protecting our borders huh ?
