What do they come here in the first place? Money most likely. With money they can give their family a "Better life". If we get a suped up guest worker program, employers can sponsor these migrant workers in seasons.

Correction: The work no legal citizen will do for 'slave' wages. We don't desire to live 15-20 per house to make ends meet.

Is it ok for them to give their families a "better life" while they depress wages and leave legal citizens standing in the unemployment line?

people of mexican decent do all the jobs we either refuse to do or dont get paid enough to do. if they sent them all back the fact would be america would shut down. the alternative would be chaos because we as americans will not do the labor they do for the price they pay them

Of course, with a suped up guest-worker program, it would be regulated. They come in seasons, and they leave. And really.. the people who are being laid off is obviously effects of the economy, not necessarily illegal immigration.

Or big business would have to take a smaller profit margin and pay realistic wages. Guess which one is more likely to happen.
