Reply #7: I could be convinced it's okay as the lesser of two evils

At least as a guest worker, an immigrant won't be hunted down by the INS and the Minute Men. He won't have to cross the Sonora desert and possibly die. He could ride in over the border in a bus like a human being. However, it's not a good solution in the long run.

Unions though can make this work to their advantage by enrolling these workers into the unions, since now they would have a legal status. That way it will take the exploitation for cheap wages factor out of it for a start.
