7. Good
We need to enforce the laws on the books. I don't want America to be turned into a police state to roundup all the illegals--that's not realistic, nor is it good policy. But we do need to enforce our laws and we cannot not tolerate employers who exploit illegal immigrants like this. This bill just institutionalizes a large class of permanent low-skill, low wage, invisible workers who would be unlikely to unionize. That would drive down wages and benefits for all Americans.
