Just because the illegal is already here does not negate the fact that the illegal is, indeed, illegal. The illegal should go back to his/her country of origin and apply for admittance to the US. The legal and programmatic route. We are a nation of laws. The basis for civil society is adherence to laws and rules enacted for good social order. Applicants for admission should be screened for suitability. Undesirables should be denied admission. This is simple logic.

Everything you say is consistent with what Bush said today.
He wants would-be immigrants to be obeying the laws.
My point about 'they are already here' is simply to refute the chicken-little sky-is-falling hyperbole. If large-scale illegal immigration were the death of our country, we'd be dead already.
Furthermore, Bush's intention is to cut illegal immigration, not increase it.
