To me, it's a very touchy subject. I've known people who went through proper channels to come here for work reasons (high tech needs) and were turned down by the US government in fear of them never returning to their homelands. Yet, people are sneaking in illegally over the border and on boats every day. It saddens me that we turn away people who provide a special needed skill yet we don't do enough about illegals. It's truly a tough issue. I don't know what the right answer is...we can't simply allow such a massive illegal influx, yet we need to be sensitive of those who are already here.
From an economic standpoint, illegal aliens provide a much needed service of filling low cost jobs when the economy is rolling, When it's in a slump, then we have a huge welfare issue with which to deal.
From a humanitarian standpoint, it's great we do take in poltical assylum type cases. Yet, it's hard to really get a bead on who should really qualify.
I see no easy answer...your take?
