We'll either have a tax increase or budget deficits to pay for this - the last amnesty cost the taxpayers almost $ 80 billion in the first ten years.

That 1986 amnesty was a huge mistake. You think the republicans would have learned from that, but they've been giving out mini amnesties right along. I think in 1998 they had one for Central Americans. I still remember George senior signing the Immigration Bill of 1990 which raised legal immigration through the roof, up to nearly a million. Both parties are in on the scam that's wiping out communities. I don't know about the present, but this can't go on forever. People will eventually rise up on this, I bet on it.
