I don't favor illegal anything. But. I wonder -- do any of you demanding that these folks stop coming here "legally" actually have any idea of what it takes to come to the US "legally"?
There's not ONE of these "workers" (or whatever you want to call them) that would even be able to get a visa to vist the US for a week, let alone to come here and work.
There simply is NO WAY for a poor person to come to the US "legally", even if he/she just wants to visit and then go home, let alone to work.
So, when you tell them they have to come "legally" you are really telling them that they can't come at all. That is why they come "illegally".
The overwhelming majority are coming to find work and make a few bucks. If you really don't want that to happen, then you solve the problem by attacking Americans that hire them "illegally", not by attacking the immigrants.
Yes, it's a problem that needs to be solved. But, the cause of illegal immigration is Americans that hire illegals because they can be exploited; not the immigrants themselves. Stop hiring them and they will stop coming, it's that simple.
Do not blame them for our own greed!
