text: if you want to stop illegal immigrantion, kill the source? the only reason people come here illegally is because firms hire them for below min. wage. ilegals save construction companies millions of dollars for each worksite they work at. if you stop firms from hiring them, they have no reason to come here. very true.  have you ever considered this?  as soon as illegals become american citizens, they are going to want more money for the work they do.  then come more illegals.  the cycle will never end until we do something.
