The hypocrisy on the issue of immigration in this country is astounding. "Yes, I'll make the life of an illegal immigrant living hell, but I'll hire them every chance I get."

The status quo is just too convenient. Everyone wants their cheap labor. Deporting them is costly and does away with the cheap labor. Giving them a path to citizenship means you can't blackmail them into lower wages anymore.
I was referring to the relationship between the feds and the state.
