Quote:5 million workers, I've looked and have been hard pressed to even find one close to the chipolte 450. Again the majority of them are self employed or working as contractors day to day. I have no problem with closing down every business hiring illegals, throwing everyone that hires them at their house in jail, but it's not going to fix anything and would be near impossible to manage.

ICE estimates 700,000 in the fast food industry alone. 


I have yet to see you source your "majority of them are self-employed" bit.  Other than anecdotal evidence.  I mean I could mention that anytime I go to home depot, I see illegal aliens working there.  People who can't speak english, and who you know aren't there legally (and this is even backed by a neighbor of mine, who is hispanic and very much pro-illegal immigrant, though he's here legally himself).   A friend of mine (who has been jobless for some time) tried to apply to a job for Home Depot some time back.  They didn't have any english applications there.  Only ones in Spanish (and he can't speak Spanish)
