The whiners are happy to hide behind their computers, spewing out ignorance in their cosy suburban homes while these 'illegals' are slopping out toilets and picking vegetables all day for minimum wage, so that the whiners can pay a few cents less for items that require menial labour. If you want to do something about the problem,set a decent minimum wage, and prosecute anyone that tries to hire anyone, without paying taxes.
I've yet to see any of the racists complain about the millions of Americans who 'bend the facts' on their taxes every year. A little tweak here, a little cash not declared there, write the cost of the new home computer against the company here, and there we go, saved myself a few bucks and stuck it to the man.
Compare if you will, the hideous crimes of Juan who jumps on the pickup for a few bucks a day to those of someone like
Leona Helmsley. Ask yourself how many illegals can defraud the people of that much money. And then ask yourself why there isn't a big crowd of rednecks who want her kicked out.Resolve the problem.Naturalise those who want to stay. Round up the crooked employers and deal harshly to them.
Just one more idea..............let the market decide. Set up a system of accreditation for the 100% legal products. Heck, they can do it for organic produce, why not a '100%American' tag. Obviously, these goods would cost a few cents more than those produced by dodgy companies with cheapskate hiring practices, but nobody who hates Mexicans that much would object to paying, right?..............yeah, riiiiiight.
