Here's an excerpt from something I wrote over on Askville in a thread about illegal immigration. I found this particular bit rather amusing; maybe you will too.
They [illegal immigrants] occupy whole sectors of the American economy. The meat-packing and processing industry, for example, where they're favored as employees because they aren't able to call OSHA over dangerous working standards. As a result, illegals get killed in our factories and meat-processing plants every year; if you eat ground beef, you've probably EATEN a little bit of more than one illegal immigrant!

I don't see the American business community ever giving up cheap, disposable, edible labor, so I'll say it again: this whole topic is a smokescreen.
