Wait a second, while I see if I am understanding this clearly.
You advocate keeping the illegals here so that they can be exploited & forced to do the crap jobs at a rate that is kept so low because these workers are afraid to do anything about it? Really?
The illegals should go. In a fleet of busses to the nearest border. Strapped to the tops of those busses should be the people advocating the above concept.

True. Slavery was justified with much the same arguments as used by the open borders crowd.

We survived the end of slavery -- slavery was certainly about having plentiful cheap labor.

6 BILLION a year just in healthcare costs to illegals.. Who the H##l cares if you pay more for an apple.. who the h##l cares if you loose your cheap labor illegally here gardner! 2 million people a year are granted legal status to come here and work! We don't have the jobs for another 30 miilion! And they are NOT sneaking over JUST for work either.. many, many of them run drugs, steal cars (take back to mexico), kill police-dea-border patrol, gangbang, and kill innocent Americans every year! So you go ahead and let them keep coming.. by the thousands, won't be long before they steal your car, your job, rape someone you know, murder someone you know, kill someone you via DUI, and before long.. it won't be 20/30 million illegals, it will be 100 million! try paying for all the services they'll want.. and the babies they will be spittin out!

Kick out all illegals and limit immigration. Maybe just maybe we can make it back to the good ole days. It will never happen with Obama in office and all his thugs.

Or maybe he was one of those kids who want an easy and lazy job. Who knows just guessing, or just MAYBE because of the economy don't you think man? Illegals are here because the USA just wants to allow wealthy educated immigrants from other countries and does not realize there is also a NEED for poor uneducated blue collar workforce immigrants. There are jobs just gotta look for them or maybe start mowing lawns, remember, no job is something to be ashmed of, except stealing. Of which immigrants are not doing that are presenting their skills or maybe WILL to learn and do the job that others do not want or prefer to do.

Yes, they are here because of the corrupt collusion between businesses who want cheap illegal labor and our government. Are you ok with that?
For whatever so-called jobs Americans won't do we can import LEGAL immigrants but that would be mostly for Ag jobs. Most other jobs Americans will do for a fair wage. Americans use to be landscapers, contstruction workers and did other blue collar jobs until the arrival of cheap illegal labor to exploit. Americans were never ashamed to do those jobs either. Our blue collar workforce has always been the backbone of this country.

Yes, these illegals are stealing our jobs, benefits and taxes. Glad you agree that stealing is wrong.
