They are cheaper, but making it legit means more tax money for you and higher salaries for them.

This is the result of a free market, and it's very hard, if not impossible to have a free market only within some lines written on a map.

You do have a point though, which only illuminates my original position; it's a complicated matter, and there's no absolute right or wrongs.
exactly what jobs won't americans take again?

we have an OVERSUPPLY of labor in this country. some people are on their 3rd unemployment extension. this is driving the cost of unemployment up for EVERYONE except the person employing the cheap illegal immigrant labor.

i think the one thing that most republicans and democrats can agree on is that these particular employers are stealing from the american public and need to be prosecuted.
