of illegals. No one does a single thing about it. They get driver's licenses. Drive around town, just like any citizen. And the worst part, people only pay them $20 a DAY !!

What never made sense to me - all the hoopla about illegals - from the wingnuts here....when they employ them.

Sure it's more complex but always thought - fine the employers big time and the issue would go away.

The illegals I know are great. They are kind, peaceful, respectful, extremely hard working. One I know very well, walked from the Mexican border to San Antonio. Yes, walked. He has been here for many many years. And, every week he sends money home to Mexico. He and his wife have been apart for many years. There are grandkids he has never seen. It really is so sad.
