    The new slave labor

    Business wants them here because they are the new slave labor. They come because they want to support a family. Suggestion: if you can't support a family from what you make in your country, maybe you shouldn't have a family. America doesn't owe you one. The Mexican population has doubled since Americas' last amnesty 20 years ago. A new amnesty will only guarantee another doubling of the Mexican population in another 20 years, and 22 million more here illegally. Some solution.
