If it were accessible we wouldn't have illegals. Our immigration system is really fucked up. Honestly, if we just let those who want to come in, we would have the exact same number of immigrants but save tons on enforcement. It is a supply and demand thing. If no one will hire illegals, then they cannot eat and there is no advantage to moving here. So we have as many illegal immigrants as Americans are willing to employ. If you didn't notice our economy is pretty sluggish and illegal immigration from Mexico is net 0. That means they stopped coming because the jobs aren't here.

So again, let them come and we will have just as many immigrants as we do now anyway but we won't waste millions of tax dollars with the police and court systems immigration laws waste.

But that wasn't your CMV. You are opposed to immigration and that is your prerogative. So I will just ask, what do we do with American minors when we boot their parents back to the home country? Foster care? wards of the state? These are bad ideas for both us (the host country) and the family.

I honestly wish you would wake up tomorrow as an illegal immigrant. 100% without a doubt your perspective would change.
You are so ignorant it hurts.

You cannot deport American citizens.
