The majority of illegals are no longer working as nannies, pickers or cooks anymore. They are working construction, truck driving and the building trades. Oh yeah, those are jobs "americans won't do". What's the matter with all of you supporters of this idea? If the border were clamped and the illegals went away would you have to pay YOUR new workers more and pay any benefits yourself instead of letting the rest of the taxpayers do it? No better than the democraps when it comes to redistributing the taxpayers money.
Illegal immigrants is what I have an issue with, and with employers who under-pay these workers knowing that if they complained that the employers could get rid of them at will with-out any kind of protections.
Legal aliens would have rights and protections, they would pay taxes and have the feeling that they could hold their heads high and not live in fear of sudden arrest and deportation. If we need more foriegn workers in the short term, it needs to be done orderly and in a manner that our domestic economy,legal services,and medical services could adjust to.
I'm tired of reading of Hospitals going broke and bank-rupt because of the unrefunded care being give to these illegal aliens in the South West. As these hospitals go, pressure is put on remaining hospitals until they have begun to collapse.
American businesses and farms seeking to flout immigration and employment reg's can no longer ignore their own contributions to this situation...after all they too, are dependent on the very same existing legal, social, govenmental infrastructures to stay in business that they are putting pressure on by employing illegals in the first place.
