You see, IMO, many of these folks come to embetter their lives. The ones I see and deal with daily work hard. Who am I to stop them from obtaining what everyone wants in America? Safety, security and a future. Not much unlike those that passed through Ellis Island.
My issue is they have become a political pawn and those blowhards in DC pander for their votes. It is quite sickening really.

No, they undercut the labor market.Plenty of people would do those jobs if they at least paid a living wage and not as slave wage.Best example is one I have used, because I know someone personally affected by this but scenario repeats itself across the country.Regular Joe owns a lawn business, charges $100 for standard yard cut, etc.This 100% is not pure profit, still has to pay one worker, fuel, etc for equipment.Like any other person, has bills etc, certainly not going to get rich, but it pays the bills.Jose enters scene, will do the yard for $50, does not have to pay his worker(s) much, $50 is a lot of money to him.Now, I am for free market but when someone who is not even entitled to be here comes in and undercuts actual US citizens, forcing them to lower prices, thus they have less money to live on and find themselves working at or just above slave wages or in some cases, go out of business, that is wrong!
Sadly, in our bleeding heart society we won't do what is needed.A law that gives everyone here illegally one year to register, to go back home, and apply to come here legally, after that, anyone caught here illegally are subject to immediate deportation, no ands ifs or buts. .That with a secure border, problem solved.
