Until you put a stop to the greed and start punishing those who hire the illegal immigrants, the problem will continue to grow at these enourmous rates.

I think that's the right way to go-----punish those who avoid paying Social Security and legal minimum wages by hiring illegals. We need to end the practice of anchor babies. We also must get a lot tougher on the Mexican government to change it's system so it's citizens have a chance in their own country. You can't really blame the illegals, especially those who really do come to work (which isn't all by a long shot) to su0port their families.

EXACTLY! Until we pressure the Mexican government to allow free-trade and capitalism in their own country, how can we blame some poor paisano who wants to provide for his family. I can guarantee, if I was in their position of having to provide for my family, I would take whatever chance I had to in order to live up to my responsibility.

Another problem is that our government is taking money from those millions of Mexican's who work here legally and are paying taxes, just like you and me. What do we do about that? Another good question is, how do you plug a hole in a damn that has many leaks? One patch will not work.

Fitz you are 100% correct..the ONLY reason there is a "market" for Mexican workers is because they are illegal..no miminum wage..no health insurance, no payroll taxes to withhold ..no social security to pay..

This is an employment issue...

It is not that they do work "Americans will not do " the usual refrain..it is work Americans will not do for a dollar an hour..that is the problem
