Oh BS CJ, there many hardworking mexicans here doing skilled labor jobs because there is a shortage of skilled American labor to do those jobs. Many have been living here for many years and are law abiding. I would welcome them back if they are documented tax paying citizens. The culture in the past was to come here to the states and start a new life and we, this country, our government, allowed that to happen without consequence . Had been that way for a hundred years or more. Along with that good group are also some undesirables, Those are the ones we don’t want let back in, the gang bangers and drug dealers, the rapist, the thieves they need to stay out but there are thousands of hard working law abiding mexicans I would be proud to call a neighbor.
The is no shortage of labor with millions of unemployed Americans. Period.
Pay them.
That’s amnesty. If you’re for it, that’s fine. I understand your point of view, but you’ve just joined the “Chamber of Commerce Cheap Labor Express.” These echo the arguments of Jeb.
But call it what it is.

What? This has nothing to do with “a matter of being proud to call someone a neighbor.”
Thousands of hard working, law abiding? More like millions...the media keeps saying 12 million, other sources say 30 million. Yet I read that TWENTY-SOMETHINGS ARE RETIRING?!?! First, if they came here illegally, they broke at least one law. Others waited years to come here LEGALLY.
We have to put legal citizens to work before allowing work to go to illegal aliens. When I read that 20-somethings are “retiring,” I know we have a huge problem...20-somethings retiring?!?!?! They haven’t even worked!

One obvious point**:
“The labor-force participation rate is still below estimates of its demographic trend, involuntary part-time employment remains somewhat elevated, and wage growth has yet to show a sustained pickup”
**And we know the reason for this...
