Also, I'd like to gently point out that, if your objection to illegal aliens is that they are "illegal", you, as a Republican, should not have a problem with enacting a law that helps them become legal so long as they benefit the economy. Since you are NOT in favor of such a law, your whole "they're bad because they're illegal" argument sort of falls apart.

Fnelson: What are you talking about?
Read what I wrote again: No further laws, of any kind are necessary. I specifically stated that we have existing laws and do not need any other legislation. Any further attempt to pass any kind of new law in this regard is political pandering and politically spinning to gain approval.
Simple enforcement of our existing rules would suffice. DinanM3 just mentioned that we have an INS...Why do we have an INS? Because of the mandate in the law which set that department in motion. A mandate which allows foreign nationals to legally immigrate here.
Feel free to debate me, but don't suggest that my viewpoint falls apart because I'm unwilling to support new laws where laws already exist. And there's a hell of a lot more too it than "they're bad because they're illegal" which, by the way, wasn't even remotely the essence of my posting.
