Those people you call "illegals" also keep your belly full. Without them, as has been proven in the South and elsewhere, crops will rot in the fields. And your hotel room clean. And many other jobs Americans won't do

Hinder economic growth? They are, like the slaves were, the engine that fuels it.
I think those hard working honest folks who come here to live and work could do so legally, and we should have resources in place to treat all humanely. If here illegally, and working a job, are they paying taxes as all of us do, to help pay for gov programs they benefit from including national defense. And sir you are right, if we let people in illegally just to get a labor force we are in fact creating slavery, and that ought be repulsive to all.
