If you don't allow them a path to citizenship--which definitely should include an English proficiency test--such that their English can be understood, for instance---you are perpetuating an underground society which will not pay taxes, for instance, but will use services.

They will have--and deserve to have-- medical treatment, for instance. Treatment from emergency rooms is by far the least efficient way to get it--and very expensive for taxpayers. And if they are illegal, that's the way they're likely to get it.

You seem to have the attitude that these immigrants would rather be illegal than legal. I doubt it strongly.

It's unlikely that a flood of poor people from Argentina north will jump at the chance to be illegal immigrants-----if there's a way to do it legally.
