Default Re: OT: Illegal immigrants sue Wendy\'s...

I find it a little hard to swallow personally because of the amount of time many of theses "illegals" have been working illegally, and haven't made the effort the become legal here.

A number of "Amnesty" and similar programs have come and gone, over the past decade at least, and yet these people still remain illegals.

I've worked in Texas, New Mexico, and California with many such illegals, and the majority I've encountered stay under the radar because they can get away with more than if they became "recognized" as legal immigrants.

These people (in the lawsuit) have had many opportunities to become legal workers, but now are jumping at the opportunity to exploit a loophole that lets them sue somebody else for not doing what they themselves should've done.

Yes, they paid into a program to get it done, but they could've easily done it just fine themselves and not had to pay anybody. Paying somebody else to take care of their situation was just another way of staying under the radar. They wanted the blanket coverage of a corporation rather than drawing attention to themselves as individuals.
