The economic impact of undocumented workers is significant, as they fill jobs that domestic workers often avoid.

Undocumented workers in the U.S. are the most flexible, profitable workforce in history. They take jobs domestic workers don't want, work hard, and don't rely on unemployment insurance or Social Security when jobs dry up.

There is a need for immigration system reform to rebuild trust, which includes securing the border and providing paths to legalization for undocumented individuals in industries like agriculture and construction.

Undocumented workers have various documents to function in society, highlighting the complexity of immigration issues.

The U.S. spends $170 billion on deportation efforts, more than what is spent on child care or school lunches. This highlights a misalignment in priorities, focusing more on expelling undocumented workers than supporting children.

Providing a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants working in essential industries could help reduce food prices and benefit the economy.

The cost of deportations has tripled, with $100,000 spent per person deported. A more efficient solution could be fining employers who hire illegal immigrants, potentially stopping the issue at its source.

The U.S. has been limping along with weak administrative policy and an inactive Congress that hasn't clearly stated its stance on immigrants in the 21st century. This lack of action has led to cruelty and inhumanity in immigration policy.

The income tax is actually immoral, and enforcing immigration law is not. Leaders are morally responsible to enforce immigration law.

The H-1B visa program has been abused by some IT outsourcing firms, leading to the hiring of individuals at below-market wages.
