I am fine with any legal immigrant that obeys our laws, and comes through through the due process and naturalize themselves to the American way & assimilates themselves to the American people.
Does it bother you when people hire illegals to work? If they didn't hire illegals, we wouldn't have an illegals issue.

Why do you deflect to a Hispanic having to be an "immigrant"? We've got Hispanic families in the Southwest that have lived continuously in the region longer than whites. Who is the actual "immigrant" in that example?
A Reagan Legacy: Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants : NPR As the nation's attention turns back to the fractured debate over immigration, it might be helpful to remember that in 1986, Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration reform bill into law. It was sold as a crackdown: There would be tighter security at the Mexican border, and employers would face strict penalties for hiring undocumented workers.
Reagan’s Amnesty Program » Dispatches from the Culture Wars If there is one thing conservatives love more than tax breaks it’s Ronald Reagan, and you can’t look at Reagan’s history without remembering the Simpson-Mazzoli Immigration Reform and Control Act, which granted the dreaded “a word” (amnesty, that is, something Obama pointedly said his plan will not do). But a lot of conservatives try to forget their beloved Reagan signed amnesty into law and said, “I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and who have lived here, even though some time back they may have entered illegally.”
Whatever happened to the three million people Reagan granted amnesty to a quarter century ago? Did they succeed in ripping the nation to shreds, destroying American industry, and murdering gringos left and right, much as Reagan’s disciples predict would happen if such a bill would become law (or even Obama’s much more tepid stopgap executive order) today?
Actually, quite the opposite.
Congress was supposed to close the border as part of that amnesty.
I wouldn't give amnesty at all....I would deport illegals on the spot regardless of "breaking up a family".
Under the "breaking up a family" mantra of the left, and some republican progressives, does that mean that if a husband and wife (legal citizens) commit a bank robbery, they should be kept from prison time because they have a family?
Is this the new standard?
Deport them as you find them. If they wind up getting caught a second time, imprison them.
Really..so you think it's just people hiring illegals that keep them coming here ?
I've got 2 words for you..."ANCHOR BABIES"
Those 2 words provide more services and money than working under the table for less than min wage.
I love Anchor Babies, it is the name of my fantasy football team!
You still haven't answered my question, does it bother you that people are hiring illegal aliens? And what would you suggest we do to crack down on that? Unless all you care about are those 62% of illegals.
