There are many who wouldn't agree. In 2001 Alan Greenspan cited a study before Congress indicating "Illegal workers (in Illinois) pay $547 million in taxes yearly, compared to $238 million in services used."

Ground rules have been, and are still simple:

The notion that we should get deport all illegal aliens is clearly a minority position...
According to a recent NBC News/WSJ poll only 35% of Americans favored deporting illegal workers, while 61% favored letting them stay, work and pay taxes assuming security conditions were met.

If you don't agree with those ground rules then you have no business even debating this issue period.

Bunk, the majority of the Country and nearly all of Congress doesn't agree with your ground rules.
