Of course, that doesn't address the current illegal problem from our southern borders. I think the first step in resolving that issue is sealing the border from illegals. There's little sense in trying to bail water, when we haven't fixed (or even slowed) the leak. Any sort of amnesty program will just encourage the next wave to sneak in and get their free citizenship that the US hands out every 20 years.

I agree with a lot of what Australia's system is about.....but here in the US....it would be seen as racist by many.
Bottom line is: what part of the word "illegal" do people not understand?
