One problem here is that there are something like 11 million illegals IIRC, and probably 10 million of them are working jobs that 99.9% of Americans can't do or don't want. Also, 99.99% of illegals want nothing more than to make an "honest" (except for their illegal immigratn status) wage for their work.

If that's reality, and my understanding is that it is, then we need to adjust our laws to be realistic.

I don't really care what we do, or don't do, but what I'd like to see are ENFORCEABLE and REALISTIC laws that consider:

1. the needs of the American economy;

2. the fact that poor workers in other countries will inevitably want to come here;

3. the fact that just shipping them back isn't effective.

So I'd be in favor of a large-scale amnesty, a broadened immigration permitting system, and harsher penalties for those who are illegally entering.
