JoshJ, yeah, I can agree with that argument to a degree, but many of the illegal immigrants are illegal because they wouldn't be allowed to enter the U.S. for a wide variety of valid reasons (criminal history, disease, etc.).

We have immigration laws to protect U.S. citizens. Some are probably misguided or impractical, and I agree that they should be changed.

I'm just against blanket amnesty. On a case-by-case basis, amnesty might be a reasonable choice.

DoctorMO, Mexico does a fine job of harming itself. What have we done? I'm not aware of any trade sanctions against Mexico. When did I say to shoot anyone??? WTF?
