9. Everyone's..
... financial status is also an accident of birth, but I cannot take robbing a bank as a remedy and expect society to accept that.

Outsourcing, insourcing - it's all the same thing. America has lost 90% of its manufacturing jobs, is about to lose its last big manufacturing industry, autos, and while I agree that some proportion of immigrants in fact take jobs that nobody wants to do, there is another large portion that nobody wants to do for $5 an hour.

This is a complex issue and simplistic answers are not going to work. All the Republicans care about is finding a way to act like they are doing something to stop immigration, while secretly promoting it, as cheap labor is their only goal. Dems should not assist them in pulling off that PR stunt, on that I'll agree.
