look at it this way - we need a net inflow of immigrants into the US because of our declining birthrates and 30 years of abortions. that demographic fact is not in dispute. if we had an immigration bill that had all of the positive things many posters here want - border security, employer sanctions, denial of free health care - having to legalize some of the people already here as part of a compromise, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

If the horror that is abortion never happened we would have a larger economy and mexico would still be poor so we would still have illegal mexicans in the country. What you advocate gives mexicans a massive preference in our immigration policy.
