8. "Compelled labor"? "start inventing jobs for them to do"????

Like, oh....picking lettuce?

Isn't "compelled labor" why many come over, because it's impossible make a living at home?

I don't mean to promote stereotypes or anything, but aren't a lot of illegal immigrants here because they HAD to do something dangerous to survive and support their families? It's like the last hope. Otherwise, they'd just do the legal thing, no? Why does he think they risk so much to get here? Because they're bored? (he probably thinks they come here just to sell drugs or something.... not to get away from drug cartels)

I have sympathy for those who are here because of hope for something better than their "home" country.

With media people like this guy and the GOP in general, I hope for something better in MY home country!!!
