When immigrants of any nationality come here legally, they are a potetial attribute to our economy.
When they come here illegally, they usurp our resources and don't pay taxes.
The two issues are seperate.
We simply don't need illegals, and we shouldn't want them, nor should we reward them in any manner.
It's like viewing welfare as a cancer. When a person becomes unemployed and use welfare as a temporary crutch in order to become a contributing member of society, that is a good thing. When a family remains in the welfare system for several generations of **** kids, they are a drain on our tax base and hurt this country both financially and morally.
