But there are plenty of jobs right? According to republicans the unemployed are just lazy leeches who don't want to work.Meh. I can't bring myself to take a stance on this issue. On the one hand I see the major problems with having illegal immigrants coming here and taking up our space, jobs and resources. On the other hand, I see the benefit of getting them to begin paying into the system, because they're not going anywhere anyways. I also sympathize with people who actually risked something and struggled to make it into and remain in this country. Especially when we have people like many of the above posters, who are Americans through luck and whose parents and grandparents never had to jump any legal hurdles to come and live here, who now spew nasty and hate filled vitriol about immigrants they don't like. But then again their parents and grandparents faced a similar hate filled environment from conservatives of their time when they immigrated here. So maybe it's just the cycle repeating.In a move absolutely guaranteed to bring Conservatives into rage, a move that is completely legal:
Hillary Clinton Taps DREAMer Lorella Praeli As Latino Outreach Director - NBC News

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has named prominent DREAMer and immigration activist Lorella Praeli as Latino Outreach Director, a Clinton campaign official told NBC News. Praeli, who was undocumented for almost 13 years and became an outspoken advocate during that time, will be the Clinton campaign's main point person with Latino communities around the country. She will also be one of the campaign's surrogates with the press on Latino issues, including immigration.
Praeli's appointment sends a strong signal that the Clinton campaign recognizes immigration reform as a key issue for many of the nation's Hispanic voters. It also sends a message to Republican candidates to take a clearer position on immigration - a contentious issue for the GOP - as they court Latino votes. Recently Clinton said she supported full and equal citizenship for undocumented immigrants, saying that anything less is "code for second-class status."
This is something that would have been impossible just four years ago.
Discuss. Good idea, or bad idea?
Here's a clue for ya..if there arent enough jobs for Americans the tax incentive doesnt change. In fact it gets worse because those out of work collect welfare and other gov subsidies.
