Although it does present a sad example of the state of our country today. Here's a family that just wants to see some of the US and is willing to actually WORK for that privilege and we collectively point out to them how they would be violating our laws.

On the other hand, we have thousands of illegals currently in the US who receive free food stamps, housing, health care, education to include college, and a supplement each month for each child they bear in the US and are even receiving voting privileges in some states!

I say if you want to see Texas you are welcome to stay at my place. That is the least I can do after all the hospitality I have been shown during my several trips through Canada!

How is what the OP proposes, illegally working in the US, any different than what the illegal alien picking fruit, or mowing grass is doing. They are both taking low paying, no benefits, manual labor positions away from deserving Americans. They are both in violation of laws that are commonly violated to the detriment of hard working Americans. I know I dream of the day I can shingle roofs in 100 degree heat and not have to compete with an illegal alien for the privilege.
Perhaps the difference is the average illegal alien is working to send money home to support his family that likely lives in extreme poverty, while the OP wants to extend his vacation. Personally, my preferences for tolerance of people breaking laws lean towards those who are trying desperately to improve their families lives and provide them with at least the basics we take for granted. But apparently you feel spending extra time on vacation is a nobler aspiration.
