Yes, these illegals should be busted, but so should the person/company who hires them. If nobody would hire them, then they wouldn't come here. Besides, those jobs could be filled tomorrow with 600 new illegals if there are no consequences for the employer. |

Adding a few consequences to the labor laws that are in place (e.g. wage and hour requirements) and just enforcing those will do a lot more than arresting a bunch of immigrants. That approach is being proven already in Arizona. I can't really blame an individual who needs money for taking whatever honest work they can to get it.

Which is a better use of resources? Busting someone for illegaly working when they are otherwise being a productive member of society, or breaking up organized crime rings (drugs) or looking for murders/rapist ect? aka people who are not productive members of society?
Take care of the worst first then work your way down

Why? Because they are breaking the law. Because many of them will have stolen SSN numbers. Because while they may pay some taxes now, they end up costing us more money in the end because of their refusal to assimilate in any way other than to cash a check... then send that money back home. If they're legal--good, great, love it. If not--they need to go.

Take care of the worst first then work your way down Ya, why should we go after the low life trash that work their butts off yet pay ZERO taxes yet benefit the most out of all of Hillary & Co's welfare crap at my expense. Why go after the ones who are responsible for a good share of thefts and assaults and yet walk away without consequence because they will just move to the next small town since there is no way to track them down.
I used to work in a town that was infested by all these illegals and seen some of their handy work first hand so I have no time for the illegal mexicans. Go into the local post office and see all the Mexicans sending their weekly paycheck they earned down to their families still down in Mexico so the money isn't even spent locally, or nationally in America.
We have also had friends who are legitimate immigrants with all the right paperwork and they get crap because most of us associate them with the trash.
I also agree that the authorities should bust *** on the people who hire these illegals and get rich while hiring these people who do it for cheap.
Where's Rambo when you need him???
