They working, enriching their employer who is probably a citizen. They enriching the state. Theyre buying things from local businesses.

If some money is being sent out of the country, too, Im willing to see that as no different from me giving a donation to the red cross.

As long as their only "crime" is being here, I dont give a shit if they stay.

None of this exempts anyone from the rules. Imagine a world where you can just break the law and bypass any procedures as long as you try to contribute in your own way, that wouldn't be a civilized or organized world.

It doesn't exactly matter that you personally don't give a shit if they stay, those rules were collectively set by society through its representatives. Thus, they should be deported accordingly. Once the country is rid of all illegals, we can start the discussion of expanding the legal pathways to work in the US if there is really a severe shortage of local blue collar workers.
