We do need new immigrants, especially when the illegal ones can no longer find work because of the other part, illegal employment laws.

The rules I'm speaking of that need to be eliminated are the ones that make it nearly impossible for a Mexican to get in while Filipinos are actively recruited, and a Cuban just has to get here and gets an automatic asylum, a green card, and a truckload of benefits. We need to make the requirements fair, so that legal immigration is a possibility.

Believe me, I do not favor any kind of open borders policy, but the insanity of our existing laws make illegal entry inevitable.

Another aspect of this that I didn't bring up is the unions. We need some kind of federal standards regarding the formation and recruitment rights of unions, as well as strict prohibitions against strike breaking, to counteract these so-called "right to work" laws that some of the more backward states have passed off on their less thoughtful citizens.

The leveling and increase in immigration will reduce the motivation to enter illegally, and the very last thing the rich class wants is to risk huge fines and jail time for hiring illegals.
