And how about the people who are waiting in line to come to the U.S legally. People who are being sponsored by their U.S citizen relatives. Like my brother, he has to wait 10 years !!! for his turn, mean while a person who jumped the fence a weak ago can be given a guest worker visa, I havent heard anything on expediting the process for cases like my

The problem is not those who hire illegals at low wages, but the American people who want cheap products and services and refuse to buy if the prices go up, aka airline travel.

If the government was serious about illegal immigration, it would strengthen and enforce rigorously laws aimed at preventing the hiring of illegals. If needy people were unable to find work in the U.S. at wages so low no American would accept them, perhaps they wouldn’t be so interested in crossing the border. The problem is not the illegal immigrants, it is those who hire them at outrageously low wages.
