7. The corporations who hire them are the criminals
I can't believe this is being framed in such a way as to place all blame on the people themselves.

Mexico has a criminal president; the USA has a criminal president; American corporations who break the law by hiring people who came here illegally are criminals. You can't blame the people for wanting to feed their families. I'd break any law necessary to feed mine. I have never been put in that situation, thanks to a roll of the cosmic dice, I was born here.

All that being said, the audacity it takes to claim some rights in a foreign country is mind-boggling. But if my kids needed fed, clothed, schooled and medical attention, I'm sure I'd find it in me.


I'm still waiting for those $50 and hour lettuce picking jobs McCain talked about. I have my jeans, my work gloves and my hat all ready!
