But, as I was saying before, laws are in place for a reason. A law with no purpose is not much of a law. Obviously undocumented workers are undocumented. I'm not suggesting that they aren't breaking the law. I'm saying the law is unfair and should be fixed, and deporting people or persecuting them would be a step in the wrong direction.

Not necessarily a bad person, but definitely a bad neighbor.

...but is it our place to punish, especially when we have the power to help? The Mexican government couldn't slow immigration if they wanted to.

I completely agree corporations should be involved in matters of state.
