I agree with you completely. Our immigration system is messed up, and I'm completely sympathetic towards migrants just trying to live their lives. Although I will say generally undocumented is a better term than illegal. It actually isn't even a crime to cross the border or to work (employing migrants and helping them across the border is what is illegal). Re-entry is a crime and using someone else's social security number is a crime. And I am also worried that doing this will raise suspicions.

I'm not understanding this: It actually isn't even a crime to cross the border or to work (employing migrants and helping them across the border is what is illegal).

I'm a Canadian, and when I travel to the States, they ask me if I plan to work while I'm there. I say, hell no! because I'm on vacation. I understand you have to have a work permit to work there?

Are you saying that it's not technically illegal for me to work in the States (meaning, I won't get charged), but it's illegal for employers to offer me a job (so they get charged)?

It isn't a crime. You aren't supposed to do it, but it is only the employer that can be prosecuted for it. The law is set up to target employers. But if you get found out, you'll probably get deported.

Huh, go figure - I had no idea. Mind you, I'm still not going to work when I'm visiting you guys. I also don't want to be deported. :)

It is a big thing because several southern states tried to make it a crime (namely Arizona and Texas) and the courts ruled that immigration is a federal issue and they aren't allowed to do that.
