If you think half a million illegals slipping over the border in the year is sovereignty, the word has no meaning.

If those 500,000 came here legally on work visas, would you be satisfied?

That is a separate issue. You stated that we have full sovereignty. If our borders are so porous that half a million people cross them illegally, then you are wrong.

As to your "change the issue" question, no I would not as that would depress wages for U.S. workers.

I would.

If they did not print the "visas" themselves, and the "visas" are not convertible to residency under some delusional "amnesty" or other-weasel-word mechanism, and if the concept of "anchor baby" was also explicitly excluded.

Else why even pretend that the concept of legal immigration still exists as something other than a vague outdated concept?
