Since we're comparing lawn care anecdotes...

He wasn't. He was positing a typical straw man argument. It is not relevant to the issue, but that means nothing.

Your friend is to be commended, and supported, if he denies employment to those without proper documents. I wish there were more like him...

Answer the question pageonetoo, should drilling in ANWR be legal or illegal. It's illegal now. JMO I think the law should be changed.

The way to do that is to crack down on the employers of illegals. The southern border aside, I can think of a couple acquaintances in the skilled building trades who would tell the same story. Illegals, in their case mostly Eastern Europeans overstaying visas, depress wages. We need some level of immigrant labor, even temporary labor, but it has to be regulated. And, imo, disconnected from the citizenship process.
