That's a nasty, nasty problem.

Part of me says "Illegal immigrants are living the American Dream". They want to come here so they can work hard and earn a "fair wage" to support their families. How different is that than when MY family came over?

I'm kind of impartial on the whole "breaking the law" thing. It can fall into that grey area of stealing bread.

But... There are a lot of people waiting to get into the country legally. What do you do about them? You really don't want a guest worker program that keeps the illegals in and keeps those seeking legal immigration out. That would penalize the people that are trying to do it the right way.

So I get caught in this little Catch-22.
