Ants contribute nothing to our economy; they do no work.

Illegals work very hard in exchange for very low wages. There are plenty of small businesses that could not exist without their help.

That seems like a big difference right there.

That’s why this is such a tough issue for many. It seems like an easy issue only when you look at one point of view (worker or employer).

I worked for a business that depended on illegals to run its factory, and supported about 50 people on the sales and administrative side, all of who were legal residents.

By getting rid of illegals, some of our own jobs will be in danger.

Some other differences.

We don’t have to pay for the Ants’ healthcare and welfare.

Ants are not given a free pass on crimes because they are ants.

The Ants larvae will not get a vote in 16 years time.

Either way you are going to have to adjust.
It's up to you whether you'd rather shift jobs, increase your value in your job, start your own business, py your employees a bit more, etc....
Or whether you'd rather add numbers to the socialist base, add demands on your (increased) tax dollars, subsidize criminal and terrorist activities, watch the basic values of the USA mutate into those of a consistently failing third world cesspool - and use spanish as our second 'official' language.

Up to you, and the vast majority of Americans who would prefer option number one.

Some illegals work hard. Some illegals don't. Many illegals make good money. Carpentry, masonry, landscaping, law enforcement, drug smuggling and the US military all pay fairly well.

It is simple. Enforce current law. Hire Americans and legal aliens

I worked for a business that depended on illegals to run its factory, and supported about 50 people on the sales and administrative side, all of who were legal residents.

I work with illegal aliens almost every day. They are scourge upon this country.

By getting rid of illegals, some of our own jobs will be in danger.

Any job that depends on the labor of illegal aliens doesn't deserve to survive.
