If there wasn't demand for their labor, they wouldn't come. I've taken years making up my mind on this issue. I think the best thing to do is pass a law that makes minimum wage only applicable to U.S. citizens, and allow these people in legally on special work visas.

Hopefully this would solve problems with theft and such on the border. I don't think we can really completely close our border with Mexico, and the more aggressive we enforce, the more aggressive those people who run illegals into this country will become. I could see this escalating to be as violent as the drug trade. No politician wants to admit it either, but our economy depends heavily on this cheap underground labor.
