It’s not just big business executives who want the amnesty. It’s millions of small business owners. For example, We just had our roof on an 11 year old house ripped off and replaced by “Home Depot”. Now what Home Depot and Loews for that matter hires reputable firms who do good work and charge the buyer extra for guaranteed longer life. It is a small house, 1680 Sq. Ft. on a mountain with lots of wind, but they had two crews of about 15 guys on the roof together, doing the job for in about 5 hours with a guaranttee of 50 years, translating to the next buyer if that should happen. Also, landscape crews headed by small business owners are almost totally in the gardening/landscaping business in two southern states where we do a lot of business. There’s is not question that Hispanics are very good workers and most of them undoubtedly are illegal. We have friends in the road construction/black top business. They do hire illegals, they earn a good salary. live in modern double wides with nice interiors, drive newer cars, and have their children well dressed and polite.

I resent paying taxes to subsidize the employees of small business owners as much as I resent paying taxes to subsidize the employees of big businesses.
“They do hire illegals, they earn a good salary. live in modern double wides with nice interiors, drive newer cars, and have their children well dressed and polite.”
Ask them if they pay taxes, buy their own insurance and have valid ID?
The Hispanic workers I have run into, in similar situations to the ones you describe, mostly seem like extremely pleasant people to deal with. Of course, if one is in a country illegally, it probably doesn’t pay to draw additional attention to oneself by being a complete jerk.
