Me? I’d like to do their jobs. I’d like to do 20 or 30 of them. Or hundreds. See, I’m an engineer and my current job is to make my employer more productive. Over 20 years we’re now outputing 3 times as much with 1/6th the employees. The author would have you believe that we should have just hired illegals back 20 years ago. But if we had done that, we would not be in the commanding position we are today to compete against Japan, Europe and China.

The illegals here in the U.S. are holding back innovation. The French pick thier grapes with machines while we pick them with Mexicans. Who will be in a better position in the future?
