I didn't realize the bill wasn't actually a bill, but a straw man. Thanks for setting me straight.

No to illegal immigration and open borders! Yes to legal immigration!
"Sending masses of immigrants "home" would be extremely detrimental to the economy. Basically, our economy would literally collapse without immigrant workforces."
Have you seen the unemployment rates for teens from 16 to 19 years old - it currently stands at 15.7%. If the estimated 12 to 20 million illegal aliens in the country now were deported, this age group alone could more than make up the short-fall. Granted, due to minimum wage law, they would have to be paid more than is currently paid. But, if the current immigration bill (amnesty) is passed the wages will have to be increased anyway.
"The more that come, the better for the economy."
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Due to very liberal welfare policies in most states "illegals" cost society far more than they contribute.
"And who are we to judge, anyway? We are almost all sons and daughters of immigrants."
Tell me, did those first members of your family who came to the United States sneak across the borders or did they enter through accepted immigration points. Those who have or tried to enter 'legally' from the mid 1800s through to today were and are closely examined for illnesses that could cause epidemics. None of those crossing our borders illegally today are being checked. Not to mention those illegals used by drug smugglers as mules for their "business."

nobody is going to back to mexico because they will fear not coming back. i know people who are trying to be legalized and they will not go back, they have summited a request for legalization but they want proof of employment when they are not allowed to work! who understands the gov't? i think anyone with a clean record should be allowed to become a citizen.
