"No problem - get off your fat behind and mow that lawn!"

I suppose you also suggest: don't go out to eat? do not stay at hotel? build your own house? Who knows perhaps part of the work is done by unauthorized immigrants. This is simply not practical, and therefore plain silly. Or maybe you suggest they should not hire any latino people at all since they might be illegal? Well, you surely know there are white unauthorized immigrants as well. How do people know who is legal? Even attorneys sometimes get confused. Remember the guy who worked near top of the republican party without EAD?

The divorce analogy says it pefectly, I think: you want to ultimately live separately, but in the meantime you do not mind helping each other a bit (and indeed immigrants work and their employers do pay money when hiring someone, don't they?)

Another good analogy is people who do not want to consume products produced with child labor. They want the government to keep track of who actually makes that T-shirt in Indonesia. The kid making the T-shirt may be actually lucky to have any job at all, but no, the US consumers know better.

hmm, at the very least they may want to choose not to hire those who they think are illegal immigrants themselves, and then brag about it. They claim that nobody invited them into this country - well, look, their inviting them into their own homes every day themselves.

Yes, there are people who practice what they preach. However, most of us mere mortals bow to reality and take every opportunity available. "Anties" are no exception which is why they hire based on worker's skill rather than on immigration status. And I can see and understand why they do that, just like I understand why unauthorized immigrants come here illegally. People are not perfect, and when you resort to "get off your fat behind", you sound no better than "anties" going crazy about "illegals". Anyway, have a good night.
