I now see it as a security issue. Before, aside from perhaps being unfair to the legal immigrants who went to the trouble to go through the proper procedures, I had no problem with people who were simply trying to improve their positions in life. As was pointed out by brook, except for Native Americans, all of us had immigrant ancestors - and many of them the worst kind!
As for welfare abuses, how much can they abuse when they run the risk of being deported? A lot of people abuse welfare, and I support better enforcement so that more of the welfare spending can go to those who really need it.
Now, I still have no problem with people wanting to improve their prospects, but I think we need more secure borders to impede the number of potential terrorists coming into the country. We'll never be able to keep them all out, and I'm against racial profiling (after all, not all Arabs are Terrorists, and not all terrorists are Arabs), but I think we could do a better job.
Phil Valentine is still a liar and an idiot, regardless.
