When I lived in Kansas, if we did not have illegal immigrants, our building would have stunk from the garbage. We had a total of one white custodian who felt she was above all the Mexicans and refused to do much of anything because they would do it all.
Equating his presence in America to robbery, drunk driving, and general thuggery is not appropriate. He wanted an opportunity, we make them here. It's our biggest seller.
The laws and customs of this country stem from a group of rowdies who came illegaly, spoke a strange language, and had no respect for the customs of the place.
If an illegal is basically a good guy and good social fabric, keep him. Make him legal. This country works hand over foot to speed up the process for Europeans if they have valuable knowledge, or a song on the pop charts.
