What makes the L.A. Slimes believe that illegals are even remotely interested in becoming citizens?

They come here to make triple or quadruple what they were making back home. They want to work, send money home, save a bunch up, and go home after a few years of leeching off our system, and live an upper-middle class lifestyle.

That’s why they have zero desire to learn English or assimilate; it’s also why they won’t want to pay fines and jump through all the hoops of the bill. As long as there’s no real border security and no real employer enforcement, there is no incentive for illegals to change their standard operating procedure.

You’re correct!

But you forgot one thing: If they become legal, and employers have to start paying for all the things legal employees require, ( like workers comp insurance, 15% FICA, etc. ) they have lost their attractiveness to the employer.

The employer will then go looking for someone else to work “off the books”.

I think the whole premise that this will get them to “come out of the shadows” is false.

I agree 100%. Mo matter what legislation is passed, if it inconveniences the interlopers even in the slightest bit, they will have nothing to do with it. It will be business as usual. We need to build the wall, start enforcing meaningful fines against employers of illegal aliens. If a serious effort was put forth a vast majority of them will deport themselves within a few years.
