Wow..I am not sure how you’re connecting the war to the illegal immigration issue. Illegal immigration is a legal issue that needs to be resolved.
In my opinion, despite the ‘cheap labor’ and ‘hard worker’ arguments, these individuals are breaking U.S law-- the same law that citizens and legal immigrants have to follow. To highlight their positive attributes is like saying the jailed criminals are good because they record books for the blind, while ignoring the crime that landed them in the joint in the first place.
To those who make the argument that we should legalize them, since they are already here: I am going to make a shift my career to become a coyote, I hear good $$s can be made and no guilt either…because you folks will eventually ‘legalize’ them anyways.
