Perhaps, but based on what?

I'm not saying that illegals don't suck off the system, but that there's a give and a take.

In addition to that, who do you think picks the lettuce you eat, or hand sprays the soybeans used in a multitude of products?

This isn't to say that our open border isn't a problem, it certainly is, but there is a huge value add to our way of life these people also provide. 1 in 20 US workers are undocumented!

Any border policy needs to take this into account, or it will fail.
