i find it amusing that anyone who disagrees with unregulated immigration is "anti-immigrant" and racist. truthfully, i myself don't have a problem with anyone who wants to come and CONTRIBUTE to this country. not all illegals exploit the system. not all illegals are criminals. im sure most who are here now actually are beneficial to the economy. what you don't realize is the usa cant just open the borders and let anyone and everyone who wants a better life to come in whenever they wish, on their terms. whats the solution? should we make it easier for 100,000 people each year to enter legally and become citizens? 200,000? 1,000,000? what about Mr 1,000,001 who didn't make it this year but his family is starving in South America? if he gets turned away he'll be out in the desert risking his life to come in just as people are doing now. we need both an economically sound immigration policy as well as border regulation so at a minimum we know who is in this country and where they came from. the united states doesn't have enough work/money for the entire worlds poor, so limits must be set. racist
