The hotel and restaurant industries had been pushing hard for the bill, arguing they would be short staffed if thousands of their Mexican employees were forced to return home to apply for visas.

It would seem to me a bad idea to have criminals (ilegal immigrants) handling and preparing our food.

There's the rub!!! It never ceases to amaze me how many others on this site like to bash the illegals, when the real problems is THERE NEIGHBORS IN THE LANDSCAPING, RESTAURANT and HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY!!!

Hey, as far as contempt for greedy & unethical American employers of illegal labor is concerned, I'm second to nobody.

I feel almost the same way about most users of H1B labor.

Skinflints & taskmasters.

The problem isn't industry. The problem is a million or more illegals can cross our unfenced, unmilitarized borders unmolested, every year.

That's the first thing that needs to be fixed. Spending the money to deport 1 million illegals is a waste, if they can just turn around and come back in, again.
