[Vision2020] How can they do it legally?

[g. crabtree]

If these hotel and restaurant jobs can only be filled by illegals ("jobs 
Americans will not take") who the heck is working at UIBW, Appleby's, MK4, 
etc.? To say that our economy would collapse with out illegals is utter 
hogwash. Some minor changes would have to be made,  but to carry on as 
though the apocalypse were about to occur is nonsense. I think it's time to 
reign in the hyperbole. There's no question but that the boarders should be 
tightened up and that our overall policy on immigration reviewed. (the 
tortured interpretation of the 14th amendment in particular) Then and only 
then should we be looking at what route we might want to take regarding the 
current crop of "undocumented aliens."
