re: #424 Guanxi88

As a human sentiment, it’s one i can share. As a matter of policy, it’s a little thornier. Illegal immigrant labor is subject to abuse by both the criminal element and their employers, and the costs of the cheaper labor are off-loaded onto the community as a whole, as we see all too clearly in places with large illegal immigrant populations.

I prefer to say “undocumented worker” - it means the same thing as “illegal” because the worker doesn’t have legal documentation, but it doesn’t carry the same level of predudice that “illegal” does.
