The whole crux of the matter is not that we don't have a suitable resource pool of people to work who are citizens - it is the employers who are offering crap wages cos they know the illegals will take the jobs. That is exploitation of the illegals and a slap in the face to the legal worker who would normally make at least $6-7 dollars more than their illegal counterparts are being offered/given. And employers then don't have to pay taxes if they use an illegal....so let's get the facts straight here and not muck up the waters with the lazy adolescents, illegible handwriting, etc. Granted, we made our own hell in many ways here, but everyone is taking advantage of the loopholes in the system....and that is what has brought us to the stage we're at now. Plain old greed, it's every man (or woman) for themselves. Those of you who hire illegals....hope you get what you are entitled to sooner rather than later.
