U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said the U.S. needs immigrants to meet the employment needs of a growing economy and urged Congress to approve immigration legislation that includes a temporary-worker program.Obviously, those he's refering to aren't "immigrants", they're illegal aliens.
Gutierrez said there were 4.1 million U.S. job openings in May, many in the hospitality industry, that immigrants are needed to fill because Americans can't or won't do that work.
"We have jobs today that either American citizens aren't willing to do or aren't able to do," Gutierrez, an immigrant from Cuba, told the Senate Judiciary Committee. "Immigrants aren't crossing our borders to look for a handout. They're seeking jobs that are available."

Carlos Gutierez, you do not really know and understand our laws: anyone who violates our laws shoud be punished like you if you ever violate any laws. You will be answering your violations whether it is trafic violation or not.
