They aren't "taking" jobs they are just underbidding legal workers on them. Nothing but sound free market principles there. You could have the same jobs the illegals have if you were willing to work for the same pay and working conditions. Just show up at the Home Depot at 5:30am.

Seriously though, nothing is gonna happen to illegal immigration unless we start going after the employers. You think an illegal immigrant gives a shit about all the right-wingers talking tough on IA? Hell no, they are gonna hop that fence and go to work son. If we go after the employers who hire illegals and make the employers keep records of their workers and pay taxes on them the jobs will become harder to get and the immigrants will stop coming.

Seriously, it is not hard to find places that hire illegals. I worked at a restaurant that paid cash under the table to its illegal employees. They had a couple of employees who were legal and they didn't claim the rest. At tax time you compare the size of the business, their profit margins and inventory to the number of employees they claim. If it looks suspicious you go and investigate.
