I don't happen to think that it would be fair to allow people to cut ahead of the line of an organ donor list, and i think cutting in front of the legal waiting list is equally faulty. It has nothing to do with being of any race, it has everything to do with fucking up the numbers. The legal immigrants we PLAN on accepting have a much better shot at success at opportunities if they don't have to compete with a group of people making them look bad. Also, even though they aren't exactly "competing" to do shit jobs (which will be there with or without immigrants) what they do accomplish is eroding the job market for people who might be able to make a BETTER living at this same work. I know people who clean houses who have to work extra hard for a couple of pennies because some illegal immigrants decided that this work no longer has value. I'd rather we import immigrants who could compete for decent jobs without destroying the value of the work.

If they've already snuck in across a border, rather than sending them right back home at our expense, I'd think it would be fair to give them some time to impress us, or go home at their own tax dollars. Give them six months to find an income of $30,000 or better. Then they should hold that for at least 2 years... If they can manage this, they should be allowed to stay, If not whatever taxes they made during this time will hopefully be enough for a ticket home. This might be fairly difficult for someone from Mexico. However, I think it would be considerably less so than for someone from China. This is not because the Chinese are "better race," but instead because the immigration from China has been largely controlled and as a result there are a greater percentage of Chinese successes. Who will also likely help new immigrants. Even though this might be difficult, it will ensure that despite the rude entry they can hold their own. If they can't do this I don't think we should be interested in helping these folk with their problems when we already have citizens to take care of. The money would be better spent in Social Security than paying for another aging piece of meat.

Even if you give a legal arm, and increase the legal means for entry, I don't know that this will not just also increase the number of illegals. If there's always going to be people who are waiting, there will always be a percentage of those who will choose not to. Fixing the problem of immigration through lightening rules for letting people in I think is somewhat pointless as the problem will still happen in probably the same magnitude... We'd have more legal immigrants, but the number of illegal border crossings might not change significantly. I don't think we can expect to see a change in this until America quits shitting down the throat of the third world. If we're really serious about fixing the immigration problem, we need to give mexico a functioning economy. Anything less than that is a band-aid.
