"Productive immigrants are never a drain on tax bases."

You've been corrected by myself and others countless times, yet you persist in blurring the distinctions between:

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
LEGAL IMMIGRANTS
GUEST WORKERS

This is one reason why I have a bad feeling with this guest worker proposal.

Its strongest proponents, such as yourself, can't even get the basic definitions straight.

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.....?
