Do you want high paying jobs or not? Damn if you do, damn if you don't.
Solution: Pay $30+ to the janitors.
Your solution is too capitalistic. No bueno.

Solution #3:
Bring back slavery.
Win for employers, win for consumers who get cheaper services, win for illegals (who have it even worse back home).
Drives down wages for poor US citizens, so they lose, but who cares about them, right? Well, we all lose because the poor spend most of their income, which isn't much individually, but when multiplied by millions is actually a lot.
True, but only if the illegals are working. Those who commit crimes create a mega loss for us. I am lenient for the hard working ones, but intolerant for the criminal ones.
Also, if a hard working illegal is supporting 10 family members back home, humanity comes into play. I do not have the heart to see him get deported. I could not support his deportation regardless of what the law says.

How about 20 million illegals?
30 million?
And where is your sympathy for the poor Americans who have to compete with illegally low wages?

You are presenting a rational argument. However, when you see a hardworking guy supporting 10 family members getting deported, compassionate emotions will emerge overriding any rational thought. If a Swede was getting deported, I would have much less compassion because I know he is going to a wealthy country where the government will support him and his family.
