Good for you. But let's assume, just for the sake of argument, that you could somehow be persuaded that having 10 million low wage illegal workers in the country was good for our economy. If that were the case, then you wouldn't have a serious problem with decriminalizing their status, right?

Our national sovereignty and the value of the rule of law is beyond economic price.

The current economic costs, while huge, are not the main issue. You'll have literally millions of anchor babies born every year, which will skyrocket those costs, but that's not the main issue either. 5-10 years from now the campaign will start to publicize their status as "second class human beings," worthy of the same lifestyle and amenities as Americans; but that's not the main issue either.

America isn't the place where I work; it's the place I live. The addition of 100 million Third World "immigrants" and their families and offspring will have a profound effect on our culture and civic life. America isn't a place, it's a state of mind and a mindset. The intellectual soup is going to get pretty thin.
