It's a crime. Period.
Name any other crime: speeding, smoking pot, theft under $50.
Is it smart to decriminalize any of those just because hundreds of thousands doi it?
Of course not, and this argument for illegal immigration is just as silly.

maybe an employer that has lived in and traveled extensively through Latin American countries couldn't know as much about the subject as you do...

I don't see how being in latin America has anything to do with the situation.
Mexico is a shitty place to live. Granted, I wouldn't want to be there either. But so is China, and we can't let in 3 bazillion chinese because they have it rough.
I'm all for opening schools in Mexico, on THEIR side of the border to teach english and give LEGAL immigrants a legitimate chance. We should encourage legal immigration. We should make it easier to immigrate.
The main argument for illegal immigration is greed, plain and simple. Employers who want cheap wages to keep prices and wages down to keep profits up. That's it. Greed.
Keep the immigrants who enter stupid and uneducated (read: illegal) so they have to work for low wages and take what they can get. As long as there's a fear factor they won't complain about working conditions or pay.
Opportunity should not be stolen in this country, it should be earned.
Have we learned nothing from our first run with taking advantage of an ethnicity for economic benefit?
What happens when millions of illegals get fed up with getting hosed? What happens when they get pissed watching white high school kids make more at McD's while they work their azzes off?
What happens when 1/2 a million illegals march, pissed off, and it's not peaceful?...
