No such thing as an undocumented worker they are illegal aliens. Those who are on a payroll had to have used a fake or stolen SS number and that's a felony! So, we should be grateful for having our jobs stolen because they are paying into SS? WTH? Who cares if they can't collect taxes from their illegally obtained job? That's like feeling sorry for the bank robber if he can't spend his ill gotten booty because the money is marked.

Why should the farmers get to keep their illegal workers when there are unlimited visas for legal, foreign workers?

You need to stop listening to trolls.
Yes, anyone you disagree with is a troll, right?! Just like anything you dislike is 'hate speech' at any given point in time.

For example, Mexico does not want illegal aliens from Central and South America, they have strict immigration laws. There's nothing racist or xenophobic about it.

You're also it looking at the bigger picture. Illegal aliens are poor, violate laws (besides entering a country illegally) such as using garages as dwellings, stealing identify and using benefits meant for citizens. They also send money out of the US. It's a burden on our our citizens.

I am also a naturalized citizen and it is a slap to the face to those that wait years to legally emigrate. You want to wave magic wand and make the legal, what do you think will happen after that? What message does that send? There will be another 11 million right behind them waiting for the next magic wand.

Politicians want these poors on the government teet as they will be life time Democrats.

Are illegal aliens paying taxes? Many are not:

Illegal immigrants' businesses in the 'underground' economy cheats local, state, and federal taxing bodies out of tax revenue

They run underground, illegal, and unlicensed companies that pay no corporate, income, or payroll taxes, and employ illegals who also pay no taxes.

Here's another travesty.
