Over half of the construction workers in Las Vegas are illegal. People are pouring in and home prices are skyrocketing. Someone who bought a $200,000 home, built by illegals, two years ago is now $60,000 to $100,000 wealthier. It's those greedy homebuyers.

Illegals create wealth. They create markets. They create opportunity. Legal or illegal they are going to be here. We need a guest worker program that recognizes that fact.

That being the case let's just make it easier for them and solve all our illegal immigration problems.

I think if we allow strangers to enter, use, and leave your home at will, we'll be much richer for it. They'll be happier, and happy people are productive people. Better yet, all their friends and families will see what great accomodations you have, come to take advantage of it, and be made happy too.

Happiness increasing exponentially. Let's get your doors open now.

Illegals create wealth.

The black slaves in the South created wealth too. Just because something creates wealth doesn't necessarily mean that utilizing it is right or ethical.

"Over half of the construction workers in Las Vegas are illegal."

And it's not because builders aren't paying construction workers very well, it's because there aren't enough American construction workers willing to leave their homes in rust belt states to go work in Nevada.

During the Great Depression, when men heard rumors of jobs in an area they road the rails across the country to get there. (rails are steal cables under box cars).

Today it's easier to just to pop the top on another beer and let the wife/girlfriend/parents pay the bills.
