a criminal. That is a fact you cannot change, however you may feel about any kind of immigration.

I think it's high time some honesty made it's way into this discussion in America. A much more open and honest immigration policy would benifit both immigrants AND the American worker but it would HURT big companies and corporartions like the animal slaughter industry because they would no longer be able to under-pay, abuse, intimidate, and treat their workers like disposable tissue. This would hurt the giant industries that use illegal labor in the bottom line two fold, in the benifits and pay of the labor force they have and in what they would be forced to begin paying American labor; real living wages.

As long as illegal workers are coming in and the industries keep hiring them while the U.S. govt. continues to look the other way the American laborer will have their wages driven down, the illegals will suffer and die and the taxpayer will continue to be screwed.
