I think it's a terrible situation that people are doing jobs here when the law says they shouldn't be doing jobs here.

It depresses wages, because they won't go to the police when they are offered less than minimum wage or forced to work overtime without pay.
It endangers them, because they won't go to the police when someone threatens them or robs them.
It increases government debt, because they don't pay their full share of taxes 

Simply doing a blanket amnesty fixes all of those problems.  Now they work in the open and pay taxes.  The only reason not to do a blanket amnesty is that it will encourage even more people to come in the coming years.  So I don't favor a big amnesty, though some people should be able to pay back taxes and get legal status afterwards.  We should also be deporting many others.

Mainly, if we simply allow employers to legally bring in extra people while unemployment is low, we won't have any of those problems.

You know a lot of what you said is factually incorrect?

Every single Hispanic worker at my nursery is in this country illegally. And every single one of them has enough paperwork so that my company can pretend they don't know they are illegal.
Every single one of them pays taxes out of their checks, and they all get a tax return, much like many of you people do.
They don't go to the police when people attack them? The also don't appear in court when cops give them a notice to appear (because they aren't actually here)

Blanket amnesty?
Let's do a blanket deportation.
