Today I have watched four Mexicans form, pour and finish my new patio.
They also busted up part of my driveway and repoured it. They have worked like mules, and have done an excellent job.

These men could be seen on every rooftop in New Orleans after Katrina. They more or less rebuilt this city. They come here to work, and they work. They don't think anybody owes them anything. Which is more than I can say for vast segments of the native population.

I am pretty right wing, but I would support some sort of effort to give these guys a path to citizenship if they want it, provided we close the border.

Yep, similar experience with the Mexican team that put a new roof on my house. However, from my perspective this belies the fact that these people have violated immigration law and are in fact breaking in line in front of legal immigrants.

But the real issue is the obvious lack of security on our southern border. If Mexicans can so easily sneak into our country then so too could brown skinned terrorists/radical Muslims. All it would take is one nuclear terrorist strike somewhere in the Southwest or really anywhere in the U.S. once they driver's licenses, etc. for our nation to have the reality slap of its life.
