Many Americans are lazy. Has nothing to do with immigrants.
Probably plenty but who says they should work for what an illegal will? Americans should work for whatever the market will bear. Many illegals are lazy.

THAT is the point! These employers have driven down wages so NO American can take those jobs and illegals are still willing to do the work for peanuts.

And what if the market bears what the employer already pays the illegal? Do you think Americans will work for that? I'd like to see it if that's the case. And why do you say the illegals are lazy? Besides illegal immigrants represent only 5% of the workforce.

You may want to ask your president why he has chosen to hire immigrants through the years, although now he has a problem with it.

If the illegals and mass immigrants weren't here the market would pay what Americans would accept.

So first you said it was about the children. Now we're getting to the truth. It's really about greed and paying hard working people the least you can by allowing in a stream of illegals.

No offense, but your posts are kind of proving you're uninformed about this specific subject and are simply reacting on an emotional level.

You wouldn't be asking the above question if you were well-versed on the topic.

I have to agree with your last sentence for sure. Americans won't work for what immigrants will. And yes, it is still about the children. It's inhumane they way they have handled this.

Yeah you care about the children. But you want the parents to work for the least possible and for illegals to put American moms and dads out of a job completely. You're not fooling me one bit.

You might want to read up on how immigrants are taking American jobs. You'll find they're not. I'm just telling you the facts. American employers will pay as little as they can get away with. Americans won't work for that little, so they'll hire immigrants. No matter what is done now or in the future, they will hire immigrants. In some cases farmers can't find the help they need for harvests.

You are not telling me the facts. You have the facts wrong and everything backwards. You think there should be a large stream and pool of illegal alien workforce to suppress wages and cut out the American and legal workers, and then pretend to care about the kids.

That's great. We will kick out the illegals first and see if we have a problem. If we do, we will allow more people in - legally.
