The problem is the illegals tend to have advantages like being able to avoid taxes since they aren't really registered citizens and won't be noticed in that manner. That's what makes it such a bad thing. The idea of just allowing the laws to be broken like that is just silly. Now, on the other hand, should we allow more legals in? It may seem like catering, but I don't see too big a problem in saying "yes, let a lot more in legally".
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
