"Politicians do all this to take away our rights,'' said Honduran Angel Casillas, one of dozens of laborers waiting to be hired in the parking lot of the shopping center in front of a McDonald's. "We are foreigners here and we really don't have rights, and if the bill passes we'll have fewer rights yet. We won't be able to work, eat or send money to our families in our countries.''

He wants them so badly? Let him take all legal responsibility for them and their actions, as well as paying for their housing, food and healthcare.
If one of his men commits a crime, let the Feds go after his farm for any costs associated with the crime. Shift the burden upon who it belongs.

Maybe its a good time to open up an inner-tube and inflatable boat dealership in South Florida for the reverse flotilla to come? Whodathunk that instead of all the beach front drop offs near Boca Grande that there would be an industry in taxiing same illegals back out!
