Some industries, like the hotel industry, employ a LOT of illegals. INS could round up all the maids and housekeepers in the border states and they'd ALL be illegal.

And we MAY need them. That's yet to be determined. Let's see if small businessmen jacking up pay solves the problem. If it doesn't, then we'll need some form of LEGAL guest worker program.

My experience has been......and its purely anecdotal......that the further you get from the border the less illegals you have working even in the industries that you traditionally find illegals. However, I have also noted that payscales tend to be higher than those nearer the border states.

I tend to agree with you that small businesses are a major employer of illegals but with an estimated 12 million illegals, I have to believe that there are some large corps. taking advantage as well.

Given the growing number of communities and states passing laws unfriendly to illegals, I think Congress eventually will be forced to do something.
