It is so ridiculous to blame the people who come here, for paid work, rather than cut off the opportunities at the source.

Everyone wants to have their cake and eat it too, but this situation is truly absurd!

How many of you will be willing to make BELOW McDonalds salaries, to perform backbreaking work?

Think about it...
This is such BS reasoning. Food prices wouldnt increase at all. Instead of illegals they would just hire teenagers again for minimum wage, the way it used to be. Back in the day it was a teenage right of passage to work at a fast food joint (think Fast Times at Ridgemont High). Now you're hard pressed to find any (at least in Vegas/Southwest).

That would solve a few other social issues as well.
