Yes you are right. Immigration without documentation is a major problem. There are many entering our country through legal means. There are many companies trying to hire foreign knowledge workers and our H-1B visa quotas do not allow it. While it is wonderfully egalitarian to accept refuges, they are not the ones who provide immediate impact to our economy. It makes more sense to increase the H-1B visa limits back up to where they have be in the past. "We have to see if the "immigrants" came in LEGALLY, or were they lawbreakers immediately, by coming in ILLEGALLY." That is a fact that bears repeating. Our "neighbor" to the South uses the US to alleviate the economic problems resultant from a corrupt government leading a corrupt society. The government encourages and facilitates the crime. Why should we be nice to a "neighbor" that aids and abets crimes against us? Fences make good neighbors! We need to control our borders. We have a right to control access to economic benefits of legal residency. Do we have resolve to do so? I appears the answer is no. Why does Washington want to pass new laws without enforcing existing employment and immigration laws? We should start by allowing INS to do their job. After we see what current laws do when enforced, then we can proceed to plug the gaps. Washington bureaucrats like to pass laws to make it appear that they are not the ones thwarting the enforcement of current laws.
