That is completely true and I think that by legalizing them we'll reach that middle ground. What a lot of people are suggesting is to build an ugly fence across the border and to make it tougher for them to come in. Fine, go ahead and build a fence. I doubt it will work to be honest but that's another issue. What do you do about the ones already here? I think that's where legalizing them is the best solution. That's not to say that they should automatically be legalized. I think that first we should give them their work permits, which will allow the government to keep track of them and even tax them. Even that is only a part time solution, in my opinion. The real solution will be when all these countries where these people are comming from improve and make it better for their citizens to stay and work there. That, my friends is where the solution lies but no one is talking about that. Just build a fence, they say. That'll work.

I wonder if the true issue is that it would cost more to make them legal citizens than it does to pay these expenses - from a government standpoint?
