Look, you know as well as I, for every legal one that comes here legitimately, there are 300 illegals.
Why come here legally, wait years, when you can just walk in and get hired by the greedy employers, that love low wage labor?
You think employers would rather hire a legal, or hire an illegal, for a fraction of the money? Get real.

I also work for a company where I am sure we have illegals working.
They have real SSI numbers and pass our background checks, but you just know.
The point is: we pay them exactly the same wage.
We cannot get Americans to pass the pre-employment drug test.
Our failure rate is 85% for new applicants; unless they are Hispanic.
The Hispanic pre-employment drug test failure rate is 0.00%
This is my real world experience. Yours may be different.
Granted, but the actions of the 300 illegals shouldn't bring condemnation on the few who actually obey the law.

I agree that this is the issue at hand. I never denied illegal immigrationw as a problem. In fact, I was clear in my original comment that I have no use for illegals. I think they should all be shipped back, and repeat offenders should be prosecuted.

Again, I never denied this at all. But then again, if it was that simple, only illegals would have jobs. My point is, the people who have enough decency and self-respect to come here legally should not be treated the same as fence jumpers. In my experience, legal U.S. immigrants are some of the most anti-illegal-immigration people I have ever met, for the simple reason that they did everything the right and got jumped in line by the tunnel rats.
