I am really against illegal Immigration, however, I am a proponent of legal Immigration. >>>>>>>>

Agreed.......& if you follow the 'illegal immigrants' threads you'll see that most of us point out that any 'amnesty' (or *whatever* the gov't is calling it) is not only a reward for the lawbreakers it ALSO allows them 'jump the line' ahead of the 'legals' who choose to come to the USA the right way.

No 'lawbreakers' any color should be rewarded for breaking US laws, including US citizens.

This issue is not a black and white situation. There are a lot of pro and cons. I have not come down on either side yet. There are too many cause and effect situations to ponder.
Personally,I am leaning toward increasing our immigration quotas and stopping the illegal immigration altogether. That would at least "allow" immigrants to pay into social security and be a benefit to everyone, including themselves.
