Well, for me, that dog won't hunt. We need a sane legal immigration policy. Plain and simple. Anyone coming in outside of that norm is violating the law and should be treated as such, turned back, to come back through in the proscribed process.

Well, to quote Thomas Paine who referred his remarks to the the foolishness of allowing no one to own guns...I will use the same words applied to this arguement. "Because some will not, we dare not."
I've made my points and am hapy to let others judge for themselves between us.
What does legal and illegal have to do with right and wrong?
Abortion is legal, does that mean you believe it's right?
Do you believe that all laws are "right"? Can't you think of any laws that you think need to be changed? How can you think that any laws need changing as long as you think that everything legal is good.

I think the point he's trying to make is that not all laws are "right" and some have to be modified to take into account real world implications.
In thoery I would support deporting all illegal immgrants but in pratice, I don't think the majority counrty is willing to (or enven wants to)put up the resources to do it because thre is a good chance it could lead to amssive tax increases or bankrupt the cotnry.
Bttt!
