Tancredo and his kind should be careful what they wish for.

I hate to say it, but the best thing that can be done about the illegal immigrants is nothing. Bush is finally right about something--our eceonomy depends on illegal immigrants. What I am against is giving them guest worker status or helping them to become legal. The reason is simply that if they become legals, you can't exploit them anymore. We can't pay them 50 cents a day. We'd have to pay them minimum wage with benefits and vacations and what not. It would become like the auto industry where even the guy sweeping the floor is making $22 an hour. Sounds nice until you see the sticker price.

Our groceries and produce would be essentially unaffordable. The best thing is, let them work those jobs if they want to for a pittance. And when you see a group of illegals working somewhere--KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!! Don't try to help them, don't try to deport them. either option is a disaster waiting to happen. Mind your own business and let them take care of themselves.
