came here has [illegal] immigrants.

People from other nations are allowed into this country by operation of law.

When they violate law to get here and/or stay here, they are not "immigrants", they are illegal migrants and nothing more nor less than that.

I think your handle accurately describes your brain. Glad you know how to quote law and post long messages.

Let me give you an assignment: Write a NEW law that we can put on the books that will LEGALLY give temporary amnesty to current illegals, help them register and become citizens, and make it easier for more to do the same.

That way, your heart-wrenching passion for enforcing the law can be satisfied, and more people can pay taxes live here peacefully.

Oh, let me guess -- you just don't want them here in the first place, right? Legal or not.
