So do legals.
Being a relative of a permanent resident, I consider giving illegals a slack as a slap into the faces of all legal immigrants.
If the economy needs more immigrants, one should overhaul the immigration laws. Though, businesses don't care where an employee comes from, but are in desire for people who work for pennies. As a welcome side effect it also puts pressure on legal workers, keeps their preposterous demands - like fair wages or labor rights - down.
Nothing against the individuals who try to get a better live, they just do what most of us would do when living in poverty. They are the ones who get the short end of the stick from all stick holders.
