CMV: If America really wants illegal immigrants out in order to preserve American jobs and save American tax dollars, America should take measures to reduce demand for illegal workers, rather than fight against the incentives by trying to keep them out.

I know someone with a job that involves selling things to Hispanic families (they do sales and are a legal immigrant so it's easier to work that way). Often times they will go to someone's house to talk about and demonstrate their available products. Since they are trying to be friendly they usually end up talking about personal things and occasionally why they came to America. Some of these people have the most insane stories about things like hiding in houses in the middle of the desert trying to cross the border or how they stole someone's SSN and got a drivers license and a house. And they all brag about it to, like they talk about these things like they are huge achievements to be praised for. I guess they feel safe talking to my friend about this stuff since they are Hispanic as well. The funniest part to me is I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about illegal immigrants as much as my friend has.
