crustylicious - What is so patriotic about hiring an illegal alien? Think about it, you pay taxes, to support your government, which pays for certain services. An illegal alien, pays nothing for these services, but uses them.
To put this on a personal basis, you pay rent or a mortgage, for a place to live. You buy food to eat, you cook it. The illegal who just made money that day doing a day job, comes into your house without permission to sleep, he then eats the food, you cooked and purchased, without paying for it.
Would you condone this?
