Sox, plain fact is, each and every one of the illegal aliens' first act on our soil was a criminal act. They broker our laws when they stepped foot in our contry and break them every day they are here. You cannot reward criminal activity. We must put tough laws into effect to severely punish any company that is hiring illegals, making it impossible for the illegals to find work. With no work and no government benefits, they will go back to where they came from.
Once these laws are in place, then an expanded worker visa program should be instituted and there should be a clear path to citizneship for those workers coming legally in this program. This way, those who honored our laws would be rewarded with the path to being a citizen, rather than those that broke them.
