Which was using them. Now we have a President who chooses to follow the law and save the taxpayers money which was never discussed in the article. I would hope that if you are here illegally that you turn yourself in and start the process of trying to come here legally. As far as the restaurants go and jobs that illegals do I guess I don’t understand why Americans don’t do these jobs? Would they need to pay more money? Isn’t that kinda crappy for the immigrants? Aren’t we using them for cheap labor? Explain it to me. I get that prices would go up but really? You can’t get any American to do these jobs?

There are legal ways to come into the country! There is no reason for anybody to ever ever ever ever ever in this lifetime live in constant fear of being deported if they are here legally that will not happen! I have a pretty decent kind of close relationship with many undocumented immigrants as a restaurant worker but just because I like them and just because I feel bad for their families, their children, their wives and even myself when they disappear due to being deported back to where they came from because they were here by choice not force but by choice undocumented. They had a choice to make come here and remain here undocumented or do things the legal and lawful way and nobody would get hurt. At the end of the day all these people in their circles were hurt because of their own actions and they can’t blame anyone but themselves and all of the people that they’ve hurt have no one to blame but them either I’m sorry that sounds harsh but I am so tired of hearing about it if I were to go out and I were to just go through a movie let’s say and I decide oh you know what I like this theater it’s real comfy I can eat as much popcorns I want when nobody’s around I can use my sodas I want I think I’m just going to move in and stay here permanently I would get arrested I would be kicked out of the theater and probably charged with trespassing what’s the difference?!
