Ringenslinger--

It's a done deal. 12 million illegal immigrants are here now. You have a choice--either a path to citizenship--or they will never come out of the shadows.   They would have no incentive to get things like insurance--if they drive. Would you like to be hit by an illegal immigrant without insurance? And if they were citizens they would pay taxes--as of now they can use emergency rooms--which your taxes pay for. And on and on.

And if there it were possible for more immigrants to enter the US legally, the border patrol could concentrate on what it should be doing---stopping drugs entering the country, stopping possible terrorists--and not wasting their time--and your money--trying to stop people coming in who want to do jobs Americans don't want.
