is that, if we need them so badly to help with our economy (and I'm not suggesting we don't or shouldn't), why aren't we making it easier for them to become citizens and if we're not, aren't we basically admitting that we're allowing them to be exploit them so that they can do jobs the everybody else supposedly "doesn't want to do"?
