They aren't; it's true. I mean, unless you are a strawberry picker or day worker who hangs out by Home Depot looking for work.
The problem with undocumented workers isn't the fault of the worker, it's the fault of the employer hiring them regardless of their citizenship status. If your local Pizza Hut hires a few Mexicans to cook pizzas instead of college kids, that isn't the fault of the immigrants for taking the job.
There's a problem with the system and cracking down on employers who hire undocumented workers, not a problem with immigrants trying to make some money to get a better life.

Businesses like to say that it costs more to hire legal people looking for work. So why doesn't the government just offer some sort of incentive for hiring American citizens? If it wasn't for the one college class I'm taking right now, I'd be full blown Hikikomori status right here cause no one in my area wants to out of HS kids.
