The objection is that what they're doing happens to be ILLEGAL! I love the "they do jobs no one else wants to do" rationale - they do jobs that employers don't want to pay American employees enough to do, is more like it. Americans don't want to pick tomatoes? Noooooo, Americans don't want to pick tomatoes for $5.00/hr. They'll pick tomatoes for $10.00/hr, though. Illegal immigrants may pay taxes (and they may not), but they absolutely will use our police, fire, medical, schools - something, and if they haven't paid taxes, they shouldn't have access to these things. I welcome them if they want to do what it takes, through legal channels, to become an American citizen. I totally understand why they come here and want to live and work in America. I do not welcome illegal immigrants.
