And if only those that take issue with illegal immigration would take issue with the whole pie, not just one slice. But then we would probably get into minimum wage, affordable healthcare, human trafficking, etc. P.S. Walt, you still make macro economics sound so comprehendable... just like the 'free lunch' stuff.

Certainly "illegal immigration", though understandable, is not to be encouraged, but greater legal immigration, or even amenesty for current illegal immigration is. Even putting the moral question asside, not only was America built on immigration of all kinds, illegal immigrants (contrary to popular belief) actually contribute more to our social services than they take and clearly make significant contributions to the overall economy.
