Can ypu provide further details or information on amnesty programs for illegals over the past decade or so?

You wouldn't need to request details or info on this if you every watched the news, especially in states most affected by illegal immigrants. Every few months theres some article about it. Additionally, these same illegals who readily know how to get Welfare can use the same offices & services to gain citizenship or legal working status, and have been able to for years.

If Wendy's broke the law then they should pay. Being illegal employee or immigrant, doesn't give a company the right to treat people like slaves.

I wholehearted agree, and don't believe for a minute that if Wendy's broke the law or treated these people badly they should get away with it. My problem lies in people like the individual who's been here 14yrs, knowingly illegal, using this event to their advantage. Without sounding hard-*** (
which is not where I'm coming from here), he and many others like him have had numerous chances to avoid this problem and didn't. Them an opportunity comes to gain from it and there's a lawsuit.
My only real point in all of this is that I believe illegal is illegal, and if the opportunity exists to correct that then they should've done so. Especially the people who have knowingly skirted that edge for years.
As I've said earlier, I have worked with many such people, and have had first-hand experience with many, many people who skirt the system until they can use it to their advantage. I think if you want to live here and work here, more power to you. Just do it legally. I believe if you're law-abiding and willing to work you're more than welcome here. But if come here knowingly illegal, work illegally, do anything illegally, you should have to face the consequences of your actions. I am a legal citizen here, and you can bet if I break the law I'm held accountable. Should someone who's here illegally be any less accountable?
Please understand, I'm not against these people in any way. I just don't agree with people who are illegal using a system established by people who are to their advantage.
