Let's say we provide a path to amnesty for illegal immigrants. What does that say about the value we place on our immigration laws? Why, it shows that they don't really mean anything important. So, we might as well just open are borders -- outside of building a wall, they're just going to keep coming, ESPECIALLY if they know they can get amnesty.
Do you realize what that would do to us? Almost overnight we would have a huge, dirt-poor underclass to support. They don't speak our language, and have no skills or education to offer us. Do you realize that our system could not handle that? Our society could not cope with open borders, but that is exactly what amnesty means. America is not capable of supporting the world's poor. We are capable of helping them reform their own countries, slowly and steadilty, but if we open our borders, we will lose that ability. They will drag us down with them, and we will not have helped them. Is that what you want?
