You bleeding hearts need to go down into Mexico and demand justice, the USA cannot just be the dumping grounds for all it's many problems.
I agree, let's see what happens, playing with fire is good, radical changes are necessary sometimes, what if something good comes out of it? then those fear voices will remain silent and more effective strategies will be developed
Interesting; with the imploding economy in places like Michigan, I suspect that a lot of the shortfall in labor here in Arizona would be made up by immigration from other parts of the USA. I know of several people who are champing at the bit to leave the Snow Belt.
I hear one of the main reasons they're NOT streaming down here is because they can't unload their houses.
I know people who run restaurants and they tell me the people they suspect to be undocumented workers are much more likely to work harder than the American Citizens or legal immigrants. They are hungry and cause limited trouble. They dread having to go back to American teenagers.
Tough....oooh, they won't have their little serfs to exploit. Wah. If your business model is based on black market labor, your problem is YOU.
Americans have it to good here, these wages for illegal immigrants are an 8X increase from wages in Mexico. Any and every American would devour a job that has an 8X increase. This country doesn't understand the luxuries our citizens have. In parts of Mexico, people scavenge trash cans for food and the poor people food diet consists of beans and water. In another instance you stated it was slave labor, in the eyes of the illegal immigrant they'll work for anything. The jobs they work in the United States are striking gold rush for them. It might be exploitation for businesses, but it's a great living for illegal immigrants.

...at the expense of American citizens and legal immigrants. This country is NOT Central America's economic refugee camp. The problem is theirs to fix, not ours.

The worse that can happen -- we find out that even with wage increases and better job benefits, there is a true shortage of workers in certain fields and the employers then legally sponsor their immigrants. They are given H1B visas or other legal immigration status.
With legal sponsorship, there are responsibilities from the employers. They have to pay legal wages, and provide for their immigrants.

What a load....
Have you even been to Mexico? You make it look like a festering cesspool. As a matter of fact the very opposite is true. Mexicans come for increased quality of life which is modest in Mexico, but not desperate. Oh, and the richest man in the world (yeah you guessed it, a Mexican). Scavenge trash cans as the norm LOLOLOL
