They depress wages and cause housing to be unaffordable for young citizens. Ask some people with young family members if they can afford a house payment. Wake up Americans! Citizens count MORE THAN ILLEGAL day laborers. This is why unions succeed in many parts of the country. Less than 1% of illegal aliens have anything to do with picking crops.

There are so many bad people that are citizens, what is this all about? Rounding up landscapers and roofers is insane, regardless of their legal status - before we lock them up in a camp? Send them to Uganda? I'm glad that around half of the comments are equally appalled. This has to stop, it is up to "we the people" to stop this. To think they'll stop after we round up all the brown people is childish. Who's next? I feel like this is the start of something quite awful.

They have nothing to lose. They will no longer report any crime or cooperate with authorities. I am all for removing criminals from out streets, but hard working folks have always been what has made America great. And throughout our history, they have been people who have not benefitted any other way other than the fruit of their labor. That has been what has made America great, people with nothing more than the willingness to take a terrible job to be in America. It has always been the trade we willingly made. Don’t criminalize people doing what has been done for centuries. Now when a trooper looks down o pull over an illegal immigrant, it is in their best interest to run. They have nothing to lose.

I've seen the way these men (and sometimes women) break their backs in the field. Whether or not it's legal or correct, very few American people are willing to do the work that these folks do. Their tenacity is incredible. (I am not saying it's correct to exploit these people, either) Also, I'm very interested in what benefits illegal immigrants are widely receiving that isn't emergency related. Maybe I'm a flaming liberal, but I absolutely do not care if my tax money helps someone who is hurt, even when I personally have to pay ~$80 copay just to see my PCP for a checkup.

Yes times have changed, but between 11th and 12th grades I had to be persistent to find a job that paid $1.50/hr. After 12th grade I found a job that paid $1./hr. Both in construction, doing a grown man's work. No reason young people can not work when not in school or after school. Learn a trade, make more money over their life than spending money on worthless college degrees. If they are not learning a trade for life at least they learn the relation between work and reward. Many more reasons that America does not need people that start life here by breaking our laws, many! Who will do the work?

Who contribute nothing in taxes but still draw governmental assistance? Who pays their medical bills? Taxpayers do. Sounds an aweful lot like slavery to me. @Taxpayer – so you support the illegals because they will work cheap and under the table?

Looks like 45 people needed to be picked up, what did the other 150 do? Good luck recovering from the next hurricane. Panhandle's full of bigots and lousy drivers. I’m with Northender on this.
