We need to reduce the supply AND demand.



I agree with that theory, but the problem is if there was no cheap illegal labor, we'd either have to increase wages so Americans would do it (hurting the company and driving prices up - inflation) or force Americans to do it for the same low wage (thereby lowering the standard of living and related ramifications). Tough situation to get out of.
