Most of the comments I've heard about the immigration issue are highly biased with racial prejudice. "Send them all back to Mexico" they say. Sounds similar to what I heard during the '60s about African Americans. But are we U.S. citizens any better? How many of us went to our home builders and asked them to please raise the price a little to pay taxes for the illegals who built the home? No, we took advantage of the situation.

Americans need to realize that we created this problem because most of us are too proud to work with our hands. This labor void was filled by people who are willing to work hard for their families back home.

Making illegals pay back taxes is unfair, unless employers are required to do the same.
