No, I'm not necessarily pro-illegal. I do believe we should make it easier for those who want to immigrate and come here and work. I would love to swap out one hard working Mexican/Ethiopian/Haitian/German, etc. immigrant with one lazy fucker who was born here and basically lucked out by geography.
I'm about raising discussions on economic impact, both positive and negative. Like how much of our economy depends on illegal labor? I feel it would be easier and less expensive to focus on going after businesses who employ illegals than going after each individual illegal. If we cut off the money supply (businesses who employ them), then it's makes it less viable for them to come here.
When I worked in the restaurant business here in Nevada, I worked with a lot of hard working hispanics who were working their asses off to get their citizenships. They did everything by the law with their green cards, etc. and they found constant roadblocks and these were people who were "doing the right thing". They paid taxes, they went through the process and these guys were some of the hardest workers I'd ever seen and to this day, have seldomly seen anyone, white, black, mexican, philippino, etc. who worked as hard. I would love to give those guys citizenship and kick out the lazy motherfuckers who sit on their asses all day bitching and moaning and only through the sheer luck of where they were born, get to suck off the government teat.
I hereby propose the Great USA Swap Program. Take some backwoods hillbilly who does nothing to further our society than date rape and animal sexing and ship them to Mexico in exchange for Jose who will come here and bring a strong work ethic, a little color and a sense of pride shown through actual work.
