Implication not taken, but I don't really have a problem with work visas, at least it's vetted or should be.
The only issue with work visas is that we are no longer going after those that overstay.

True, just like the small fines to businesses that employ illegals.The only issue with work visas is that we are no longer going after those that overstay.
The guest worker visas are actually used pretty extensively. Of course it's a clunky inefficient system and the biggest problem is:I understand that many of the jobs of an illegal alien are not considered jobs most citizens would care to do, but allowing it without proper work visas has made it an incentive as well.

All this cheap labor is slowing innovation. We should be developing machinery, processes, and automation that would reduce the amount of people needed for farming at a faster pace.There are many farms, orchards and vineyards that rely on them. Without the alien migrant workers the costs to the consumers would be quite substantial. Could they employ citizens? Yes, but at what cost to everyone? How many Americans would endure the life of a migrant worker?

You say that as if I was advocating illegal aliens.America is a Nation, not a collection of interchangeable Misean Economic Units.
I guarantee I can find a Bangladeshi who will do your job for 1/4 what any Mexican will. Do you want to live in New Bangladesh?
If you enjoy paying 10% less for a bag of potatoes, it's because you ignore the fact that the costs of illegal labor are being shifted onto society in general.
Things are usually illegal for a good reason. Cheaters employing illegal labor certainly is.

This morning's newspaper suggests that it might not've been an attack/murder at all but an accident - possibly fell down a rocky slope in the dark. Makes more sense than the idea that an armed man was stoned to death and there isn't an empty pistol with 4 magazines worth of brass on the ground next to his body, along with a couple of DRT wetbacks.

I try to look at it realistically. Sure it's easy to say that we should put those on welfare to do the jobs that illegals are doing, and that would be great, but it won't happen. Those in the projects and on welfare would rather steal to live then actually work hard for a living, and even if you were to get them out in the country, do you think they would really work? It would be easier to regulate who comes into to the country then to change the mindset of those dependent on handouts.I apologize. I didn't read the last sentence of your post.
The "Work Americans Won't Do" argument triggers me to no end. :-)
