No, they aren't actually.

The Denver area is booming with growth. The majority of the home builders here use Mexicans who are here illegally as workers because they work cheap and not many other people here will do that work. Many of the resorts in the mountains (Even Aspen & Vail where all the rich people go) use illegals to work, prepare food, ect.

A program needs to be put into place that all employers must withhold taxes from the workers wages. Illegal or not, this would at least allow the government some sort of revenue off of these illegals. They would most likely never file income tax, but at least the government would have some revenue from their wages to cover medicade.

Like I said, I'm no racist. But, if you are going to come enjoy all of the freedoms, benefits, jobs, ect. that our country has to offer.... PAY FOR IT!
