Paying taxes and working does not justify illegal entry into our country. Whether or not an American will do the jobs you claim they won't do is also irrelevant. We have immigration laws and soveirgn borders of which must be respected by foreigners. Immigrants must provide for their families in their own homelands if unable to come here legally. Sorry, but that is the hard, cold facts of life that must be realized. There are millions all over the world who would like to come here for a better life but we cannot take them all in and that is why we have immigration laws.

From the OP.



However, contrary to the reported rumors, ICE has no agreement with Wal-Mart regarding worksite enforcement operations.

I suggest you, your husband, and his family, use that same work ethic to survive in your country of origin. The U.S. is not obligated to offer what your country is unable or unwilling to provide.

Wow, that's really admirable. Now remind me - why didn't you enter the country legally? Why don't you respect the laws of the country you broke into?

Plumbing jobs paid pretty well until the illegal horde drove down the wages.

As was construction, even a job at McDonalds was a known help to the average working teen.
