you are wrong in every point especially since you try to point the economic concerns you have with illegal immigration.

IN fact i agree that legalizing with a residence some of all the ~~11million and allowiong some of the rest to stay legally with a temp visa makes sense as this way they would have to pay for their taxes in the first place, so this defeats your argument about your taxes....

Also yes on the secuiryt issue but not the way you put it, 911 attacks were all first already legal citizens which passes many fbi background checks, not ins(who relys n fbi for check ups) and no terrorist is going to go through the hassel of coming trhough illegal trhough the dessert, and put themselves in harm and their mission at the same time, they woudl have no access to to anything if they are illegally anyways.

A more legalaze flow of immigrants economically can only mean good, more customers for business, more families seeking homes, more insurances sold, really everybody wins..I agree not all should be allowed to stay specially if if an illegal is a known fellon, but there are many good people that can only benefit the US.

And dont forget that this issue is highly politizied and you should not play into too much conservatism cause it makes no sense...

IT would billions of dollars and loss economy if you try to initiate a a massive crack down on illegals everybody, that would only drive to underground even more.
