I don't think it is hippocritical. Yes, illegal immigrants make a huge contribution to life in America, and most of them are lovely people. However, I oppose reform for the following:
- Immigrants will come regardless of what the law says
- We cannot stop immigrants from coming, or deport all of the people who are here.
- The work is getting done (hamburger's prepared, in your words)
Therefore, I do not see a reason the law should be changed. We will always have illegal immigration, legalizing some immigrants will not change this, it may even make it worse.

The new immigration law is difficult for those Mexicans and all other unlawful immigrants. I agree that Mexicans and all others support the workforce America needs (and which they are not really skilled to do) but on the other side of the coin, Mexicans and all other migrants must think that they must be ready to assimilate and imbibe the culture, the language, the ideologies of the American people. Some immigrants go to a country expecting that the people there will adopt their own lifestyle. Learn the language, adopt the system, and I know the Americans will appreciate and realize how valuable these immigrants are, especially the Mexicans.
Another thing, US is their country, all immigrants must comply with the law.If they want to work, legally go through the winding process, no matter how difficult it may be. It will protect you and you will have better rights. The problem is, many illegal immigrants come to US unlawfully and later invoke the US law to protect them. This is unfair. Those who come to seek the law must come with clean hands...I am not really pro-American but they do have a point, securing their borders, and overhauling their system. This is their country, not ours.

Do you really know what you are talking about?
There is such a thing as doing what is lawful.
Sneaking across a border of another country
and taking up abode and munching off their
economy is not exactly lawful. Sure you are
working but what do you do with your money?
Visit the Post Office and see who is in line on
Saturday morning buying money orders to send
to Mexico. If you want to be a citizen of another country go through the lawful channels
and do it right. Throw your flag away and burn
it and take up the flag of the country which you
want to be a part of and wave it proudly.
Enough said.

Violating the laws of immigration are not justification for cheap labor.
I would argue that if the cost of a car wash increases because it is not being done by illegal labor, that is a good thing. If the price of chicken is subsidized by illegal labor, that is wrong.
Two wrongs do not make a right. Just because you snuck in here is not justification for you to stay either.

This is very odd gibberish. First of all, the US does not need any of this so-called "immigration reform" nonsense. What needs to be done is enforcement of laws we already have which includes, but is not imited to, deporting illegals, fining those who hire or transport them, and for good measure, tossing them all in jail or rounding them up into internment camps and forcing them to work on public works projects. This nonsense of pandering to them has got to stop, and no immigration reform is necessary.

You are right, some employers do hire illegals to lower their costs, that is one thing that the government is trying to fix in a new immigration bill. Hopefully, however, it won't be the bill that is currently floating around in D.C.

You don't get to cherry pick which laws to obey. It's all or nothing. When you get caught try that defense and see if it works.
Why don't Mexicans put some real effort into cleaning up their country instead of whining on YA
