I hope you read that as, “We should not legalize them for a thousand bucks.”

That would mean that for a fraction of a month’s salary, citizenship could be purchased.

Not buying that idea for a moment.

I support them being repatriated. The process helps them appreciate citizenship.

As for refugees, I think that ship has sailed. NO MORE! PERIOD. Relocate them in the region temporarily and then repatriate them from there.

I believe I seconded what you wrote, but see the usual written english grammar issue of writing exactly what one means.

There is no amount of money that makes them law-abiding...

By that, I mean if we legalize for x dollars, it's the old joke - we've established what we are, now negotiating over the price.

ALL illegals need to go. Those law-abiding that go freely have a shot at coming back, merely because they will have come and gone without a record, when they apply at the back of the line. The others shall be deported, and have an NTR record (never to return).
