Now see - there's the rub, highlighted above. It's mainly Republicans who bitch and moan that every problem in our country is the fault of some illegal alien; yet these same Republicans are the business owners who employ them in order to maximize their profit. Common sense tells us that if you go after the employers, the jobs will go away; but no Republican is ever going to suggest, let alone enforce a bill that will put business owners in jail.
Besides, to tell you the truth, if all the illegals at the car wash down the street got deported, I don't think, even in this economy, too many people will be in line fighting over those $3.50 an hour jobs
And what is the reaction going to be in our supermarkets when suppliers have to start paying minimum wage to have all our produce planted, collected, and transported? Are you going to smile every time you buy a $3 apple, knowing it wasn't picked by a brown person?
