Nope, it will help legit businesses that are competing with employers who BREAK THE LAW. One of the reasons that Mexico is is such a basket case is because of widespread systematic corruption. You and your ilk would bring that same attitude to the US.

It will also save the US taxpayer 67 billion a year in health care, education, and incarceration costs for illegals.

If you want to encourage criminal behavior, by all means do so, and I hope you enjoy the consequences. But don't put lipstick on a pig and expect the rest of us to kiss it.

The cost of the services is offset by taxes collected on wages that are never refunded. If they are illegals, they also lose every bit of FICA.

Encouraging illegal behavior? Nope...but no need to treat hard working family people as criminals because they come here to better themselves.

You are right about the corruption in Mexico, that is the root of many of their problems...but everything you have suggested does nothing to address that problem.

As long as Mexicans can make ten times the money in the US as they can at home, we will have this problem. Fix that problem, and you will cure the illegal immigration problem. That is why a guest worker program is integral to any solution.

Well said! It's going to be difficult for some of these people to give up their labor subsidies!
