Yes, immigrants are needed to do menial jobs but they should be legal. They should be paid a decent wage and the minimum wage should be raised to at least $10 per hour.

There is no benefit in anything illegal. Enforce the law or change the law but enforce the law until it is changed.

As it stands now the Mexican economy depends on the money these workers send back home. If you go to Walmart to send a moneygram, it is astually cheaper to send money to Mexico that to another Walmart in the US.
