The bottom line is that we don't need illegal aliens in the United States for any reason. Any job that needs to be filled can be filled by either American workers or legal immigrant workers. If we need additional workers, Congress can increase the number of legal immigrants that we let in, either by way of a guest worker program or other visa programs. We can also kick able-bodied Americans off of welfare to increase the number of available workers.

When I was a kid in the late 60's, I busted my behind on a local farm throwin bales of hay around, get home after dark, only to fall asleep in the bathtub. Saved up enough money to buy a record player (that my dad soon came to hate) and I bought a new pair of shoes for my mom.
I busted my behind for a buck and a quarter an hour.
And I was proud.
Let me suggest that you follow Plutarch's link in #45 and read study the article there. It has a high degree of credibility and contradicts you.
