First of all, do you really think that someone who showed utter contempt for our laws can be made a good citizen by a wave of Congressional wand?

It would be like if someone stole my car. A law cold be passed to give him title, but he;d still be a car thief. Only now, he'd also know that next time he stole a car, he might get it free and clear.

Secondly, immigrants, legal or illegal, do drive down market wages and benefits. This is simple logic. Higher supply drives down prices.

In my experience most Mexican immigrants already are good citizens regardless of their status with INS. They work hard to support their families. They have strong religious beliefs. They have served our country well in times of war. They don't have an anti-American attitude like many immigrant groups.

"Secondly, immigrants, legal or illegal, do drive down market wages and benefits."

And your point is?
