"I think we should close our borders, legalize the illegals that are already here... "
No way!
Fine those that employ them and make life so miserable for the illegals that they leave of their own accord!
Too expensive... We legalize the ones here, make them pay taxes.
We take the money you want to spend on outing millions of illegals, and use that to strengthen our borders so we get no more illegals. We implement a tough and extremely harsh border patrol.
We reform our welfare laws so if a legalized alien is on welfare, with no prospects, we ship them out.
Or something like that. Some other people have some good ideas, but trying to oust millions of illegals is more expensive than accepting them, making them pay taxes, and keeping out new illegals.
