What is the distinction between a legal immigrant, an illegal one, and a guest worker, except their government classification?

If a man is illegal today and becomes legal tomorrow (or vise-a-versa) does he materially change? Does he automatically become a better driver. Does he change religions, eating habits, clothing, music.....?

You said..."What is the distinction between a legal immigrant, an illegal one, and a guest worker, except their government classification?"

How about their ATTITUDE.

How about their MOTIVATION

How about their desire to become an AMERICAN CITIZEN, FIRST AND FOREMOST.

How about their showing respect for their soon to be adopted country, by FOLLOWING ITS ESTABLISHED LAWS.

How about instilling in their children, by example, the goal of following the rules and working within the system like all the other millions of others before them.

How about looking on America as something other than a paycheck, or a handout.

"What's more important than a healthy economy?"

With your logic - just let illegals and possible terrorists in and we can die rich!

"A Day Without a Mexican."
If by "Mexican" the film's producers meant anyone who owed their residency in California to illegal immigration the following things would happen:

1) A 33% reduction in public school attendance. A savings to the taxpayers of almost $30B in annual costs.
2) A 25% reduction in the prison population saving taxpayers additional billions.
3) A 30% reduction in the emergency room and clinic populations. Ditto billions more.
4) An 85% reduction in juvenile gang activity resulting in billions in savings for local tax payers and thousands of citizens who were not injured or harmed.
5) A 30% reduction in public welfare costs included programs for the indigent aged.
6) A 15% to 25% increase in Republican party representation in the state Legislature because of the dramatic redistricting that would occur.

Six changes that represent the tip of the iceberg. Wouldn't it be grand. Poof, gone.

7. Among the largest federal costs from illegal immigration are Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion). - Camarota, Steven A.
